User Reviews for penicillin V potassium oral

I have been on this medication for approx 72 hours. My throat is slightly less painful but not much! I now have painful sores in my mouth. I usually respond to medication earlier than this. Anyone else experience the same?

Im still in pain, swelling still there i feel like a ginny pig.

I've been on Pen Vee-K for over a month for abscesses and am waiting to see an oral surgeon. Besides the yeast infections, I have had changes in my hair, including thinning and some mild hair loss. Has anyone else experienced this?

I was given this for Strep throat. At first my throat was not bad but it got worse as the week went on and after 6 days my throat is so bad that I can barely eat applesauce and talk. Penicillin does not work for me.

I have a bad abscess on both sides of mouth and I'm dizzy, can't think straight and now I'm starting have have chest pain if I move to much. This med sucks!!

Took this after having a root canal to try and remove a tooth abscess. This has a slightly bad taste but it's nothing compared to Metronidazole! Started on penicillin, but it was not reducing swelling from the infection, so added Metronidazole. Couldn't tolerate Metronidazole after 4 days (7th day of penicillin), so have to go back to the endodontist for other treatment options. Penicillin does not appear to have helped my infection. As a side note, another reviewer mentioned "Penicillin VK" - K is an abbreviation for Potassium, so Penicillin VK is the same thing as Penicillin V Potassium.Read More Read Less

Have had alot of trouble with my bowels. Alot of diaherra and upset stomach. Lots of stomach cramps.

caused some dizziness, slight rise in blood pressure.

second round for tooth infection, making me sick to my stomach this time.

In February dentist prescribed for infected tooth. Did not clear it after 10 days. He did root canal anyway, more Penc VK. Two more weeks of agony. Caused sinus inflamation, headache, upset stomach,general body ache. More dental work in Sept. prescribed for preventive care, same symptoms after 2 days. Stopped taking, switched to Amoxicillin. Much improved. Will not take ever again.

unfortunately it didnt work for me. the dentist had to give me some medicated mouth wash to help with my infected gums. i was hopeing the penicillin would help but it never really stopped the swelling.

I took this because of an infected tooth that was to be extracted. I am prone to sinus problems, but this made my sinus flare up really bad. I coughed a lot with lots of mucus, my face also became very puffy.The tooth still aches to some degree. As I was coughing so much and unable to sleep, I quit taking it. Within a few hours the cough is almost gone along with mucus. Took it for 9 days--tooth is still very tender and unable to be extracted until infection is cleared. It does taste awful--I always had a small of something sweet to make the taste go away. I will not take this stuff again!Read More Read Less

i have taken it 5 days and my pain is worse than ever.

worked get for strep

Given this medication prior to and after a tooth canal. It didn't seem to work, as swelling followed for several days after the procedudre. Dr. says I should have seen results in 48 hrs. Now on Clindamycin.

this medicaction was prescribed for my 2 year old. she has strep throat. however, she hates the taste and refuses to swallow it. i was just wondering if anyone knew of anyway to make it easier for her to take but still be effective.

I have only been on this medication for a day and I feel so much better.... It works.
