Bicillin®-5 is a prolonged-release drug, a high concentration of antibiotic in the blood persists up to 4 weeks.
Benzathine benzylpenicillin.
After intramuscular injection benzathine benzylpenicillin very slowly hydrolyses, releasing benzylpenicillin. The maximum concentration of the drug in the blood serum is reached 12-24 hours after the injection. A long half-life provides a stable and long-term concentration of the drug in the blood: on day 14 after the administration of 2,400,000 ME the concentration in the serum is 0.12 μg / ml; on the 21st day after the introduction of 1200000 ME The preparation was 0.06 μg / ml (1 ME = 0.6 μg). Diffusion of the drug in the liquid is complete, the diffusion in the tissue is very weak. Connection with plasma proteins 40-60%. Benzathine benzylpenicillin passes in small amounts through the placental barrier, and also penetrates into the mother's breast milk.Biotransformation of the drug is insignificant. It is excreted mainly by the kidneys in an unchanged form. Within 8 days, up to 33% of the administered dose is allocated.
Benzylpenicillin.
The maximum concentration in blood plasma with intramuscular injection is achieved in 20-30 minutes. The half-life of the drug is 30-60 minutes, with renal failure 4-10 hours or more. Connection with plasma proteins - 60%. Penetrates into organs, tissues and biological fluids, except for CSF, eye and prostate gland tissues. Inflammation of meningeal membranes penetrates the blood-brain barrier. Passes through the placenta and penetrates into breast milk. It is excreted by the kidneys unchanged.
