What is Pfizerpen?

Pfizerpen is a brand-name prescription penicillin antibiotic. Penicillins are highly effective at killing a wide range of bacteria responsible for pneumonia, meningitis, anthrax, diphtheria, syphilis, Lyme disease, gonorrhea, listeria, rat-bite fever, and blood infections.

Pfizerpen is prescribed to patients who need either a rapid or a high dose of penicillin. The active ingredient in Pfizerpen, penicillin g potassium or benzylpenicillin, kills bacteria by interfering with their ability to form a cell wall. As the bacteria cell walls deteriorate, the cell contents spill out and the bacteria die.

Pfizerpen is administered as an intramuscular injection or an intravenous infusion by a healthcare professional. In certain circumstances, Pfizerpen may be injected directly into the lung cavity or spinal canal.

What are the side effects of Pfizerpen?

The most common side effects of Pfizerpen are temporary site reactions to the injection such as pain, redness, and swelling. These will pass in a short time. Otherwise, penicillin causes few side effects at normal doses. However, a significant number of people are allergic to penicillin (anywhere from 0.7% to 10% of the population), so patients will be monitored closely when given a Pfizerpen injection.

The most common longer-term side effects include skin rashes and itching. The most serious side effects of Pfizerpen include potassium poisoning or heart failure (at continuous high doses). When Pfizerpen is used to treat spirochete infections (syphilis or Lyme disease), it can cause a life-threatening condition (Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction) when the body fills with the contents of dead bacteria. You will be monitored after the injection for fever, chills, headache, and low blood pressure.

Pfizerpen allergies are common, particularly in patients who have previously been exposed to penicillin. Allergic reactions include hives, rashes, itching, swelling, and difficulty breathing. The most serious allergic reaction is anaphylactic shock, a dangerous and potentially fatal drop in blood pressure. You will be monitored carefully after the injection for any allergic reaction.
