RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR PEN-VEE K | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
4 | Root Canal/tooth infection | Made me a bit spacey and occasional ringing ears but is doing the job. | I haven't had any of the usual side effects which, to be honest, rare for me. I don't mind the spaciness too much and the ringing in the ears is just occasionally. | F | 41 | 7 days 500 mg 1X day | 7/11/2012 | 3 | Dental infection | Literally none at all except sleepiness... | I tolerated this drug very well, but unfortunately when I went to get my root canal the penicillin had not killed the infection and I couldn't get numb enough. | F | 31 | 7 days | 5/23/2007 | 1 | Tooth infection | Horrible itchy rash, hives, difficulty catching my breath at times, extreme fatigue | F | 42 | 6 days 500mg | 9/25/2014 | 3 | strep throat | throat slightly better, diarrhea for the past 24 hours of taking it though also loss of appetite | F | 20 | 4 times | 4/18/2006 |
PEN-VEE K (PENICILLIN V POTASSIUM): Penicillin is an antibiotic used to treat and prevent a wide variety of bacterial infections. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. This antibiotic treats and prevents only bacterial infections. It will not work for virus infections (such as the common cold, flu). Using any antibiotic when it is not needed can cause it to not work for future infections. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
