Pentids 400 Tablet

Pentids 400 Tablet is an antibiotic tablet that contains Penicillin G 400 mg in each tablet, as labelled. It belongs to the penicillin class of antibiotics and is used to treat susceptible bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Pentids 400 Tablet works only when the infection is caused by bacteria that respond to penicillin.

How it works: Penicillin G kills susceptible bacteria by blocking the bacteria from building a strong cell wall, which causes the bacteria to break apart and die. In tablet form, Pentids 400 Tablet is taken by mouth so the medicine can be absorbed and carried through the body to reach the infection site.

Pentids 400 Tablet is the higher sibling strength compared with Pentids 200 Tablet, so it may be chosen when a doctor wants more antibiotic per tablet. This does not mean it is a stronger fit for everyone; the right strength depends on the infection being treated, the severity of symptoms, and the patient’s age and other medical factors.

• Bacterial throat and respiratory infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Certain dental infections
• Other penicillin-sensitive infections as prescribed

• Swallow Pentids 400 Tablet with water unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it exactly at the times prescribed to keep a steady amount of antibiotic in your body.
• You may take it with food if stomach upset occurs, unless your prescriber gives different instructions.
• Finish the full course even if you start feeling better before it is done.
• Do not double the next dose if you miss one; follow your doctor’s or pharmacist’s directions.
• Do not share this antibiotic with anyone else, even if their symptoms seem similar.

Each Pentids 400 Tablet provides Penicillin G 400 mg per tablet, which is a prescribed dose unit rather than a one-size-fits-all daily dose. Depending on the infection, a doctor may have you take it once daily or in divided doses; the maximum per day is set by the prescriber and depends on your condition, age, kidney function, and response. Because this is a higher-strength tablet than Pentids 200 Tablet, it should be used only as directed by a clinician.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
