What is the main therapeutic benefit of penicillin V compared to penicillin G?

Show Answers

Improved and consistent absorption when taken orallyEnhanced ability to withstand penicillinase enzymesReduced rate of elimination through the kidneysWider range of antibacterial activity

Explanation

Penicillin V is preferred over penicillin G primarily because it is absorbed more reliably when administered orally, making it more effective for oral therapy. The other options, such as resistance to penicillinase, slower renal clearance, or broader antibacterial coverage, are not the main advantages of penicillin V.
