Question over 5 years ago

Can I take Macmika with penicillin?

Dr. Braj Bhushan Ojha BAMS , Gastroenterology, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Ayurveda, Sexology, Diabetology

No, Macmika cannot be taken with penicillin. Because penicillin inactivates the Macmika by combining the beta-lactam ring of penicillin with an amino group of this drug to form amide which is biologically inactive. For this reason Macmika should not be taken with penicillin. The chances of inactivation of this drug are higher in case of renal failure because in this case concentration of penicillin is higher in the kidney for a longer time as compared to the normal renal function.
