Description
Penicillin Product Overview
Natural penicillins are produced by fermentation with Penicillium chrysogenum. The most important are benzylpenicillin (penicillin G) and phenoxymethylpenicillin, supplied as white or almost white crystalline powders, mostly as potassium or sodium salts, and as the long-acting procaine and benzathine salts.
Pharmaceutical companies use benzylpenicillin salts in injections, phenoxymethylpenicillin potassium in tablets and oral suspensions, and procaine and benzathine salts in depot injections. Veterinary producers use penicillins widely in injectables and intramammary products, often combined with streptomycin. Semi-synthetic penicillins include Ampicillin 3-hydrate, Amoxicillin 3-hydrate and Flucloxacillin sodium; benzylpenicillin is also listed as Benzylpenicillin Sodium.
All penicillins must be produced in dedicated, segregated facilities. Please specify the exact substance, salt and grade when requesting a quote. Zyntex supplies them only to licensed pharmaceutical and veterinary companies.
