Not true about penicillin G is______________?

Correct answer: D. More concentrated in prostatic secretions and intraocular fluids

  • A. Destroyed by gastric acid
  • B. Very active against sensitive gram positive cocci
  • C. Used for treatment of meningococcal meningitis
  • D. More concentrated in prostatic secretions and intraocular fluids

Explanation

Penicillin G is acid-labile, active against susceptible Gram-positive cocci, and used for meningococcal meningitis. It penetrates prostatic and intraocular fluids poorly, so the statement that it becomes more concentrated there is false.
