Actions and SpectrumÂ
pheneticillin kills bacterial effects by interfering with the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. By inhibiting the transpeptidase enzyme responsible for cross-linking the peptidoglycan chains in the cell wall. pheneticillin binds to and inhibits penicillin-binding proteins (PBP).

Pregnancy consideration:Â
Pregnancy category: N/AÂ
Lactation: Excretion into human milk is unknown Â
Pregnancy Categories:        Â
Category A: well-controlled and Satisfactory studies show no risk to the fetus in the first or later trimester.Â
Category B: there was no evidence of risk to the fetus in animal studies, and there were not enough studies on pregnant women. Â
Category C: there was evidence of risk of adverse effects in animal reproduction studies, and no adequate evidence in human studies must take care of potential risks in pregnant women.Â
Category D: adequate data with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite the potential risk, and used only in emergency cases for potential benefits.Â
Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh the risks over benefits. Hence these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women.Â
Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this category.Â
Pharmacology Â
pheneticillin binds to and inhibits enzymes known as penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). These enzymes are involved in the cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains in the bacterial cell wall. Â
The inhibition of PBPs weakens the cell wall, making it susceptible to osmotic pressure, ultimately leading to bacterial cell lysis and death.Â
PharmacodynamicsÂ
None Â
PharmacokineticsÂ
Limited information available on ADME.Â
AdministrationÂ
pheneticillin is available for oral use in the form of capsule and powder for suspension.
