Pen VK (active ingredient: penicillin V potassium) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Bacterial Infections: Pen VK is used to treat infections caused by susceptible bacteria, including streptococcal pharyngitis (strep throat), tonsillitis, and mild skin infections.

Pen VK belongs to a class of drugs known as penicillin antibiotics, which work by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and ultimately eliminating them from the body.

Penicillin comes in the form of tablets to take by mouth as directed by your doctor. When taken by mouth, Penicillin should be used on an empty stomach either one hour before or two hours after meals.

For optimal results, take Penicillin at consistent intervals. To help you remember, take it at the same time every day. Finish the full prescribed amount even if you feel better after a few days, as stopping the medication too soon could cause the bacteria to continue to grow and lead to the return of the infection.

The prescribed dose of penicillin varies for adults and children. The recommended dose of Penicillin varies for adults and children based on the type of infection being treated. For adults and children over 12 years old, the recommended dose is between 1 to 4 grams daily that is divided into 3 to 4 doses. However, for children under 12 years old, the recommended daily dose is based on their body weight, ranging from 25 mg to 100 mg per kg of body weight and is divided into 3 or 4 equal doses.
