Xgen 5 MU Benzylpenicillin (Penicillin G) Sodium Injection - 1 Vial
Acute, life-threatening bacterial infections such as meningococcal meningitis, severe pneumonia, or rapidly spreading sepsis require an antibiotic that floods the bloodstream instantly. Xgen 5 MU delivers high-potency, rapid-action parenteral therapy. Containing highly soluble crystalline Benzylpenicillin Sodium (Penicillin G), it achieves massive peak serum concentrations immediately upon IV administration, shattering bacterial cell walls to halt deadly infections in emergency clinical settings.
How to Use / Operate
Must be reconstituted with sterile water for injection. Administered by a qualified doctor or nurse via slow Intravenous (IV) injection, IV infusion, or deep Intramuscular (IM) injection. Due to rapid renal clearance, it must be injected frequently (every 4-6 hours) to maintain therapeutic levels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Xgen 5 MU Injection used for?
It is a heavy-duty hospital antibiotic used for the emergency treatment of severe systemic infections, including meningitis, endocarditis, and acute sepsis caused by susceptible bacteria.
Is this the same as Benzathine Penicillin?
No. Xgen (Penicillin G Sodium) acts instantly but clears from the body very quickly. Benzathine Penicillin acts slowly over weeks.
Important Clinical Considerations
Strictly contraindicated in patients with a history of penicillin anaphylaxis. Contains significant sodium; use with extreme caution in patients with severe heart failure or renal dysfunction. Monitor for signs of neurotoxicity (seizures) if administering massive IV doses.
