Serum Levels After Single Oral Doses of 6-( -Phenoxypropionamido) Penicillanate and Penicillin V.

Abstract

Potassium 6-(α-phenoxypropionamido) penicillinate and potassium phenoxymethyl penicillin are absorbed in essentially the same manner in normal men and produce comparable levels of antibacterial activity in the serum. Both of these penicillins are qualitatively similar to penicillin G in their susceptibility to penicillinase produced by Staphylococcus aureus.
