Benzylpenicillin Sodium, also known as Penicillin G Sodium, appears as a white crystalline powder, odorless and hygroscopic. It is highly soluble in water, making it suitable for intravenous and intramuscular administration. While it is mildly flammable, it remains stable under standard conditions. This antibiotic is widely used for treating bacterial infections and holds a prominent place in both human and veterinary medicine for managing serious infections.

Applications:

1. Treatment of Bacterial Infections:

   • Effective against bacteria such as streptococci, staphylococci, and pneumococci.
   • Commonly used in both human and veterinary medicine for skin infections, respiratory tract infections, and urinary tract infections.

2. Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic:

   • Widely applied in hospital settings for treating severe infections.
   • Suitable for managing critical conditions like meningitis, septicemia, and pneumonia.

3. Microbiological Research:

   • Essential for studying antibiotics and bacterial resistance mechanisms.
   • Used in efficacy testing to evaluate bacterial strain resistance.
