Side effects of Penicillin G-Natrium Sandoz 10 Mega I.E. in details
Phenoxymethylpenicillin may produce diarrhoea, nausea and heartburn. Allergic reactions which may include exfoliative dermatitis, other skin rashes, interstitial nephritis and vasculitis, may occur.
A generalised sensitivity reaction with urticaria, fever, joint pains and eosinophilia can develop within a few hours to several weeks after starting treatment. Superinfection by resistant species, such as Pseudomonas or Candida, which do not respond to penicillin therapy may occur. A sore mouth and a black hairy tongue have been reported.
Increases in liver enzyme values have been reported. Care should be taken when high doses are given to patients with renal impairment (because of the risk of neurotoxicity) or congestive heart failure.
Renal and haematological systems should be monitored during prolonged and high dose therapy.
Care should be taken when treating patients with syphilis, as the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction may occur shortly after starting treatment. This reaction, manifesting as fever, chills, headache and reactions at the site of the lesion, can be dangerous in cardiovascular syphilis or where there is a serious risk of increased local damage such as with optic atrophy.
Haemolytic anaemia and leucopenia, prolongation of bleeding time and defective platelet function have been observed. Convulsions and other signs of toxicity to the CNS may occur particularly in patients with renal failure.
Disturbances of blood electrolytes may follow the administrations of large doses of this medicine.
