Mode of application and doses

Benzylpenicillin sodium salt is administered intramuscularly. When administered intramuscularly, single doses in the moderate course of the disease (infections of the upper and lower respiratory tract, urinary and biliary tract, soft tissue infections, etc.) is 250,000 - 500,000 IU 4-6 times a day. In severe infections (sepsis, septic endocarditis, meningitis, etc.) - 10-20 million units per day; with gas gangrene - up to 40-60 million units.

Daily dose for children under the age of 1 year - 50,000 - 100,000 IU / kg, over 1 year - 50,000 IU / kg; if necessary - 200,000 - 300,000 U / kg, according to vital indications - an increase to 500,000 U / kg. Frequency rate of introduction - 4-6 times a day.

A solution of the drug for intramuscular administration is prepared immediately before administration by adding 1-3 ml of water for injection, 0.9% sodium chloride solution or 0.5% procaine (novocaine) solution to the contents of the vial. When dissolving benzylpenicillin in a solution of procaine, turbidity of the solution may occur due to the formation of crystals of benzylpenicillin procaine, which is not an obstacle to intramuscular administration of the drug. The resulting solution is injected deep into the muscle. The duration of treatment, depending on the severity of the disease, is from 7 to 10 days.

Side effects

Violation of the pumping function of the myocardium, arrhythmias, cardiac arrest, chronic heart failure (since hypernatremia may occur with the introduction of large doses)

Nausea, vomiting, stomatitis, glossitis, abnormal liver function

Impaired kidney function

Anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia

Increased reflex excitability, meningeal symptoms, convulsions, coma

- allergic reactions: sometimes - hyperthermia, urticaria, skin rash, fever, chills, increased sweating, rash on mucous membranes, arthralgia, eosinophilia, angioedema, interstitial nephritis, bronchospasm, rarely - anaphylactic shock

- local reactions: soreness and induration at the site of intramuscular injection

Dysbacteriosis, development of superinfection (with prolonged use)

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to penicillin and other ß-lactam antibiotics

Endolumbar injection in epilepsy.

Drug Interactions

Antacids, glucosamine, laxatives, aminoglycosides slow down and reduce the absorption of benzylpenicillin sodium salt. Ascorbic acid, when used together, increases the absorption of benzylpenicillin sodium salt.

Bactericidal antibiotics (including cephalosporins, vancomycin, rifampicin, aminoglycosides) have a synergistic effect; bacteriostatic (including macrolides, chloramphenicol, lincosamides, tetracyclines) - antagonistic. Benzylpenicillin sodium salt increases the effectiveness of indirect anticoagulants (suppressing intestinal microflora, reduces the prothrombin index); reduces the effectiveness of oral contraceptives, medicines, during the metabolism of which para-aminobenzoic acid is formed.

Diuretics, allopurinol, blockers of tubular secretion, phenylbutazone, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, reducing tubular secretion, increase the concentration of benzylpenicillin sodium salt.

Allopurinol increases the risk of developing allergic reactions (skin rash).

special instructions

Carefully: pregnancy, lactation, allergic diseases (bronchial asthma, hay fever), kidney failure.

Solutions of the drug are prepared immediately before administration. If after 2-3 days (maximum 5 days) after the start of the drug, there is no effect, you should switch to the use of other antibiotics or combination therapy. In connection with the possibility of developing fungal infections, it is advisable for long-term treatment benzylpenicillin to prescribe vitamins of group B, and if necessary - antifungal drugs. It should be borne in mind that the use of insufficient doses of the drug or too early termination of treatment often leads to the emergence of resistant strains of pathogens.

Pregnancy and lactation

The use of the drug during pregnancy is possible only if the intended benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus. If necessary, the appointment of the drug during lactation should stop breastfeeding.

Features of the influence of the drug on the ability to drive a vehicle or potentially dangerous mechanisms

Pharmacodynamics

Antibiotic of the biosynthetic penicillin group. It has a bactericidal effect by inhibiting the synthesis of the cell wall of microorganisms.

Active against gram-positive bacteria: Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp. (including Streptococcus pneumoniae), Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Bacillus anthracis; gram-negative bacteria: Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Neisseria meningitidis; anaerobic spore-forming rods; as well as Actinomyces spp., Spirochaetaceae.

The strains of Staphylococcus spp., which produce penicillinase, are resistant to the action of benzylpenicillin. Decomposes in an acidic environment.

Novocaine salt of benzylpenicillin compared with potassium and sodium salts is characterized by a longer duration of action.

Pharmacokinetics

After i / m administration, it is rapidly absorbed from the injection site. Widely distributed in tissues and body fluids. Benzylpenicillin penetrates well through the placental barrier, the BBB during inflammation of the meninges.

T1/2 - 30 min. Excreted with urine.

Use during pregnancy

Use during pregnancy is possible only if the expected benefit of therapy for the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus.

If necessary, use during lactation should decide on the termination of breastfeeding.

Other special occasions when taking

Bronchial asthma, pollinosis, renal failure.

Contraindications for use

Hypersensitivity to benzylpenicillin and other drugs from the group of penicillins and cephalosporins. Endolumbar administration is contraindicated in patients suffering from epilepsy.

Side effects

From the side digestive system: diarrhea, nausea, vomiting.

Effects due to chemotherapeutic action: vaginal candidiasis, oral candidiasis.

From the side of the central nervous system: when using benzylpenicillin in high doses, especially with endolumbar administration, neurotoxic reactions may develop: nausea, vomiting, increased reflex excitability, symptoms of meningism, convulsions, coma.

Allergic reactions: fever, urticaria, skin rash, rash on mucous membranes, joint pain, eosinophilia, angioedema. Cases are described anaphylactic shock with a lethal outcome.

Dosage and administration

In / m, in / in (except novocaine salt of benzylpenicillin), s / c, endolumbally (only sodium salt of benzylpenicillin), in the cavity, intratracheally; in ophthalmology - instillations into the conjunctival sac, subconjunctival, intravitreal.

With the / m and / in the introduction: for adults - 2-12 million IU / day in 4-6 injections; with community-acquired pneumonia - 8-12 million units / day in 4-6 injections; with meningitis, endocarditis, gas gangrene - in / in 18-24 million units / day in 6 injections.

The duration of treatment with benzylpenicillin, depending on the form and severity of the disease, ranges from 7-10 days to 2 months or more (for example, with sepsis, septic endocarditis).

Overdose

Symptoms: convulsions, impaired consciousness.

Treatment: drug withdrawal, symptomatic therapy.

Interactions with other drugs

Probenecid reduces the tubular secretion of benzylpenicillin, resulting in an increase in the concentration of the latter in the blood plasma, and an increase in the half-life.

With simultaneous use with antibiotics that have a bacteriostatic effect (tetracycline), the bactericidal effect of benzylpenicillin decreases.

Precautions for use

In / in, endolumbally and into the cavity is administered only in a hospital setting.

It is necessary to use benzylpenicillin preparations only as directed and under medical supervision. It must be remembered that the use of insufficient doses of benzylpenicillin (as well as other antibiotics) or too early termination of treatment often leads to the development of resistant strains of microorganisms. If resistance occurs, treatment with another antibiotic should be continued.

Benzylpenicillin novocaine salt is administered only in / m. In / in and endolumbar introduction is not allowed. Of all benzylpenicillin preparations, only the sodium salt is administered endolumbally.

In bronchial asthma, hay fever and other allergic diseases, benzylpenicillin is used with caution while prescribing antihistamines.

With the development of allergic reactions in patients, the drug should be discontinued. In debilitated patients, newborns, elderly people with long-term treatment, the development of superinfection caused by drug-resistant microflora (yeast-like fungi, gram-negative microorganisms) is possible. Due to the fact that with long-term oral administration of antibiotics, the intestinal microflora that produces vitamins B1, B6, B12, PP can be suppressed, it is advisable for patients to prescribe vitamins of group B to prevent hypovitaminosis.

If no effect is noted after 2–3 days after the start of the drug (maximum 5 days), it is necessary to switch to treatment with another antibiotic or combination therapy.

Special instructions for admission

Use with caution in patients with impaired renal function, with heart failure, a predisposition to allergic reactions (especially with drug allergy), with hypersensitivity to cephalosporins (due to the possibility of developing cross-allergy).

If after 3-5 days after the start of the application of the effect is not observed, you should switch to the use of other antibiotics or combination therapy.

In connection with the possibility of developing fungal superinfection, it is advisable to prescribe antifungal drugs in the treatment with benzylpenicillin.

It should be borne in mind that the use of benzylpenicillin in subtherapeutic doses or early termination of treatment often leads to the emergence of resistant strains of pathogens.

Storage conditions

List B.: In a dry place, at a temperature not exceeding 20 ° C.

special instructions

With the development of allergic reactions, treatment with benzylpenicillin should be stopped immediately, and, if necessary, symptomatic treatment should be prescribed.

Precautions must be observed in the treatment of patients with cardiopathy, hypovolemia (with inflammation of the circulating blood volume), epilepsy, nephropathy and liver pathology.

When administered in high doses for more than five days, studies of electrolyte balance, kidney and liver function, and hematological tests are recommended.

Patients receiving benzylpenicillin may have a false-positive urine test for sugar.

In patients with diabetes, there may be a delay in the absorption of benzylpenicillin from intramuscular depots.

It is possible to use benzylpenicillin during pregnancy and lactation as prescribed by a doctor.

With prolonged treatment with antibiotics, the possibility of the emergence of resistant strains of microorganisms and fungi should be taken into account.

In the case of sexually transmitted diseases, if syphilis is suspected, dark field and serological tests should be performed before starting treatment and thereafter for at least 4 months.

drug interaction

Antacids, glucosamine, laxatives, food, aminoglycosides - slow down and reduce the absorption of benzylpenicillin sodium salt; ascorbic acid increases absorption.

With the simultaneous use of anti-inflammatory, antirheumatic and antipyretic drugs, especially indomethacin, phenylbutazone and salicylates, with benzylpenicillin, suppression of the competitive type of excretion mechanism can be observed. Bactericidal antibiotics (including cephalosporins, vancomycin, rifampicin, aminoglycosides) have a synergistic effect; bacteriostatic (including macrolides, chloramphenicol, lincosamides, tetracyclines) - antagonistic. Benzylpenicillin sodium salt increases the effectiveness of indirect anticoagulants (suppressing the intestinal microflora, reduces the prothrombin index); reduces the effectiveness of oral contraceptives, drugs, in the process of metabolism of which para-aminobenzoic acid is formed, ethinyl estradiol - the risk of developing breakthrough bleeding. Diuretics, allopurinol, blockers of tubular secretion, phenylbutazone, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, reducing tubular secretion, increase the concentration of benzylpenicillin sodium salt. Allopurinol when used together increases the risk of developing allergic reactions (skin rash).

Active substance

Benzylpenicillin (Benzylpenicillin)

pharmachologic effect

Benzylpenicillin is active against gram-positive microorganisms (staphylococci, streptococci, pneumococci, the causative agent of diphtheria, anaerobic / able to exist in the absence of oxygen / spore-forming rods, anthrax rods), gram-negative cocci (gonococci, meningococci), as well as against spirochetes, some actinomycetes and others microorganisms. The drug is ineffective against most gram-negative bacteria, rickettsia, viruses, protozoa, fungi.
Benzylpenicillin, when administered intramuscularly, is rapidly absorbed into the blood and is found in body fluids and tissues; in the cerebrospinal fluid penetrates in small quantities. The maximum concentration in the blood is observed after intramuscular injection after 30-60 minutes.

With subcutaneous administration, the rate of absorption is less constant, usually the maximum concentration in the blood is observed after 60 minutes. 3-4 hours after a single intramuscular or subcutaneous injection, only traces of the antibiotic are found in the blood. To maintain concentration at a high enough therapeutic effect level, it is necessary to make injections every 3-4 hours. intravenous administration the concentration of penicillin in the blood decreases rapidly. When taken orally, the drug is poorly absorbed and destroyed. gastric juice and penicillinase (an enzyme) produced by the intestinal microflora. It is excreted mainly by the kidneys.
The concentration and duration of circulation of benzylpenicillin in the blood depend on the size of the administered dose. The antibiotic penetrates well into tissues and body fluids. In the cerebrospinal fluid, it is normally found in small quantities, but with inflammation of the meninges, its concentration increases.

It should be remembered that strains of staphylococci that form the enzyme penicillinase, which destroys benzylpenicillin, are resistant to the action of benzylpenicillin. The low activity of benzylpenicillin against bacteria of the intestinal group, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other microorganisms is also associated to a certain extent with their production of penicillinase.

Antibiotic-induced diarrhea should raise suspicion for pseudomembranous colitis (possibility of emergence of resistant organisms or fungi) and further treatment should be specific to the causative organism. When superinfection occurs, appropriate measures should be taken.
– Allergic:
due attention should be paid to side effects, namely anaphylaxis, urticaria, fever, joint pain, angioedema, erythema multiforme and exfoliative dermatitis.
– Hematological:
hemolytic anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia or eosinophilia.

Due to bacteriolysis, in infections caused by endotoxin-producing bacteria such as salmonella, leptospira or treponema (treatment for syphilis), a Jarisch-Herxheimer (Jarish-Herxheimer) reaction may occur due to bacteriolysis.

Violation of the pumping function of the myocardium.
Rarely, with pre-existing nephropathy, albuminuria and hematuria may occur. Oliguria or anuria, observed in some cases when prescribing benzylpenicillin, usually disappears 48 hours after stopping treatment. Diuresis can be restored by administration of a 10% mannitol solution.

Name:

Name: Benzylpenicillin sodium salt (Benzylpenicillin Natrium)

Indications for use:
It is used for diseases caused by microorganisms sensitive to benzylpenicillin: lobar and focal pneumonia (pneumonia), acute and subacute septic (associated with the presence of viruses in the blood) endocarditis (inflammation of the internal cavities of the heart), wound infections, purulent infections of the skin, soft tissues and mucous membranes membranes, purulent pleurisy (purulent inflammation of the membranes of the lung), peritonitis (inflammation of the peritoneum), cystitis (inflammation Bladder), septicemia (a form of blood infection by microorganisms) and pyemia (a form of sepsis, in which microbes are brought into the blood stream internal organs where secondary abscesses develop - cavities filled with pus), acute and chronic osteomyelitis(inflammation bone marrow and adjacent bone tissue) different forms angina, diphtheria, erysipelas, purulent inflammatory diseases in obstetric-gynecological and otorhinolaryngological practice (treatment of diseases of the ear, throat, nose); with inflammatory diseases of the eye, meningitis (inflammation of the meninges), scarlet fever, gonorrhea, blennorrhea (acute purulent inflammation of the outer shell of the eye), syphilis, anthrax, actinomycosis (fungal disease) and others infectious diseases.

Pharmachologic effect:
Benzylpenicillin is active against gram-positive microorganisms (staphylococci, streptococci, pneumococci, the causative agent of diphtheria, anaerobic / able to exist in the absence of oxygen / spore-forming rods, anthrax rods), gram-negative cocci (gonococci, meningococci), also against spirochetes, some actinomycetes and other microorganisms . The drug is ineffective against most gram-negative bacteria, rickettsia, viruses, protozoa, fungi.
Benzylpenicillin, when administered intramuscularly, is rapidly absorbed into the blood and is found in body fluids and tissues; in the cerebrospinal fluid penetrates in small quantities. The maximum concentration in the blood is observed after intramuscular injection after 30-60 minutes. With subcutaneous administration, the absorption rate is less constant, usually the highest concentration in the blood is observed after 60 minutes. After 3-4 hours, after a single intramuscular or subcutaneous injection, only traces of the antibiotic are found in the blood. In order to maintain the concentration at a level high enough for a therapeutic effect, it is necessary to make injections every 3-4 hours. With intravenous administration, the concentration of penicillin in the blood decreases rapidly. When taken orally, the product is poorly absorbed and destroyed by gastric juice and penicillinase (an enzyme) produced by the intestinal microflora. It is excreted mainly by the kidneys.
The concentration and duration of circulation of benzylpenicillin in the blood depend on the size of the administered dose. The antibiotic penetrates well into tissues and body fluids. In the cerebrospinal fluid, it is found normally in a non-cordial amount, however, with inflammation of the meninges, its concentration increases.
It should be remembered that strains of staphylococci that form the enzyme penicillinase, which destroys benzylpenicillin, are resistant to the action of benzylpenicillin. The low activity of benzylpenicillin against bacteria of the intestinal group, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other microorganisms is also associated to a certain extent with their production of penicillinase.

Benzylpenicillin sodium salt method of administration and dosage:
Before prescribing a product to a patient, it is desirable to determine the susceptibility of the microflora to it that caused the disease in this patient. Benzylpenicillin is administered intramuscularly, usually deep into the muscles. Benzylpenicillin sodium salt is administered intravenously (stream or drip) at serious illnesses(sepsis / blood infection with microbes from the focus of purulent inflammation /, meningitis, etc.).
With intramuscular and intravenous administration of benzylpenicillin sodium salt, single doses for moderate infections (diseases of the urinary and biliary tract, soft tissue infection, etc.) are usually 250,000-500,000 IU; per diem - 1,000,000-2,000,000 units. In severe infections (sepsis, septic endocarditis, meningitis, etc.), up to 10,000,000-20,000,000 units per day are administered; with gas gangrene - up to 40,000,000-60,000,000 IU per day.
For intravenous jet administration, a single dose of benzylpenicillin sodium salt (1,000,000-2,000,000 units) is dissolved in 5-10 ml of sterile water for injection or isotonic sodium chloride solution and injected slowly over 3-5 minutes.
For intravenous drip, dilute 2,000,000-5,000,000 IU in 100-200 ml of isotonic sodium chloride solution or 5-10% glucose solution and inject at a rate of 60-80 drops per minute. When administered dropwise to children, a 5-10% glucose solution is used as a solvent (30-100 ml, depending on the dose and age).
Endolumbarally (into the spinal canal) benzylpenicillin sodium salt is administered for purulent diseases of the head and spinal cord and meninges. Depending on the nature of the disease, adults are prescribed 5000-10,000 IU, children - from 2000 to 5000 IU. Dilute the product in sterile water for injection or isotonic sodium chloride solution at the rate of 1000 IU per 1 ml. Before injection (depending on the level of intracranial pressure), 5-10 ml of cerebrospinal fluid is removed from the spinal canal and added to the antibiotic solution in equal proportions. Enter slowly (1 ml per minute), usually once a day for 2-3 days, then proceed to intramuscular injections.
Subcutaneously, benzylpenicillin sodium salt is used for chipping infiltrates (seals) 100,000-200,000 IU in 1 ml of 0.25-0.5% novocaine solution.
In the cavity (abdominal, pleural / cavity between the membranes of the lungs / etc.), a solution of benzylpenicillin sodium salt is injected at a concentration of 10,000-20,000 IU per 1 ml for adults and 2000-5000 IU per 1 ml for babies. Dissolve in sterile water for injection or isotonic sodium chloride solution. The duration of administration is 5-7 days, then they switch to intramuscular administration.
For children, benzylpenicillin is prescribed in different daily doses: at the age of up to 1 year - 50,000-100,000 IU per 1 kg of body weight, over 1 year old - 50,000 IU / kg. In severe infections (meningitis, sepsis, severe forms acute pneumonia) the daily dose can be increased to 200,000-300,000 U / kg, and in exceptional cases (for health reasons) - up to 500,000 U / kg.
The daily dose is divided into 4-6 injections.
For lung diseases (chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, lung gangrene, etc.), penicillin aerosol is often used: a single dose for adults is 100,000-300,000 units. Dilute in 3-5 ml of distilled water; apply 1-2 times a day; duration of inhalation - 10-30 minutes. In suppurative processes in the lungs, a solution of the product is also injected intratracheally (into the trachea) after thorough anesthesia (pain relief) of the pharynx, larynx and trachea. Usually 100,000 units are used in 10 ml of isotonic sodium chloride solution.
In diseases of the eyes (acute conjunctivitis / inflammation of the outer membrane of the eye /, ulcer of the cornea / transparent membrane of the eye /, gonoblenorrhea / acute purulent inflammation of the outer membrane of the eye caused by the causative agent of gonorrhea - gonococcus / etc.) is sometimes prescribed eye drops containing 20,000-100,000 IU of the sodium salt of benzylpenicillin in 1 ml of isotonic sodium chloride solution or distilled water. Enter 1-2 drops 6-8 times every day.
As ear drops or nose drops, solutions containing 10,000-100,000 IU per 1 ml are used.
Solutions of the product are used immediately after preparation, avoiding the addition of other drugs to them.
Treatment with benzylpenicillin, depending on the form and severity of the course of the disease, can last from 7-10 days to 2 months. and more (with sepsis, septic endocarditis, etc.). If after 3-5 days after the start of treatment there is no effect, it is necessary to switch to the use of other antibiotics or to administer benzylpenicillin together with other antibiotics or synthetic chemotherapeutic products.

Benzylpenicillin sodium salt contraindications:
Benzylpenicillin and all other penicillin products are contraindicated in penicillin hypersensitive patients suffering from bronchial asthma, urticaria, hay fever and others allergic diseases, as well as people with hypersensitivity and unusual reactions when taking other antibiotics and other medicinal products.
Epilepsy is also a contraindication to endolumbar administration.
The drug should be administered with caution to patients with an indication of allergic reactions in history (case history).

Benzylpenicillin sodium salt side effects:
Benzylpenicillin sodium salt and other penicillin products can cause various side effects. Some patients, especially those with increased susceptibility, have a headache, an increase in body temperature, urticaria, a rash on the skin and mucous membranes, joint pain, eosinophilia (an increase in the number of eosinophils in the blood), angioedema (allergic) edema and other allergic reactions; cases of anaphylactic shock (an allergic reaction of an immediate type) with a fatal outcome are described.
In case of severe allergic reactions, epinephrine, glucocorticoids, antihistamine products (diphenhydramine, etc.), calcium chloride are prescribed. The enzyme product peniiillinase is also used. With severe allergic reactions prescribed prednisolone or other glucocorticosteroids.
At the first signs of anaphylactic shock, measures should be taken to remove the patient from this state (administration of adrenaline, diphenhydramine, calcium chloride, use of cardiac drugs, inhalation of oxygen, warming, etc.; immediately after removing the patient from the state of asphyxia / lack of breathing / and shock enter 1,000,000 penicillinase).
The use of very large doses of penicillin, and especially with endolumbar administration, can cause neurotoxic effects (nausea, vomiting, increased reflex excitability, symptoms of meningism / the appearance of symptoms of meningitis in a sick person without the presence of an infectious agent in the cerebrospinal fluid /, convulsions, coma / unconsciousness /). Endolumbar injections must be carried out with great care.
When prescribing benzylpenicillin and products containing penicillin, it is necessary to find out if the patient had any complications (toxic-allergic reactions) during the previous use of penicillin.
In connection with the possibility of fungal lesions of the mucous membranes and skin, especially in newborns, the elderly and debilitated patients, it is advisable to prescribe vitamins of group B and vitamin C during penicillin treatment, and if necessary, nystatin or levorin.
