Penicillin V Potassium and Potassium: what the published research says
PubMed indexes 8 records that name Penicillin V Potassium and Potassium together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. Each one is listed below with its study design and, where the abstract states one, the authors’ own conclusion, quoted and linked. This page reports that literature. It does not tell you whether to combine them.
Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.
This page lists published research relevant to Penicillin V Potassium and Potassium. It deliberately does not state whether the combination is safe, whether it interacts, in which direction, at what dose, or how far apart to take them.
A study appearing here is not proof that an interaction exists. Two substances can be named together in a paper that never tested them in combination, and a source listed as background may cover only one of them.
Findings are quoted from each abstract as the authors wrote them. NutriStack has not re-analysed, pooled, or reconciled them, and they may disagree with each other.
NutriStack’s own interaction assessment for this pair is not published here. It has not completed qualified-human clinical review, so it is withheld from search. See the publication gate.
Nothing here is medical advice. Decisions about prescription medication and supplements belong with your prescriber or pharmacist, who can see your full regimen.
The research
8 studies naming Penicillin V Potassium and Potassium.
Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.
International journal of clinical pharmacology and therapeutics · 2007 · PMID 18184536
Comparative StudyRandomized Controlled Trial
“Since the 90% CI for AUC0-t, AUC0-infinity and Cmax ratios were all within the 80 - 125% interval proposed by the US FDA and accepted by ANVISA, it was concluded that the Meracilina formulation (manufactured by AchA(c) S.A.) is bioequivalent to Pen-Ve-Oral (manufactured by Eurofarma) for both the rate and the extent of bioavailability.”
Names both Penicillin V Potassium and Potassium in its title.
European journal of pharmaceutics and biopharmaceutics : official journal of Arbeitsgemeinschaft fur Pharmazeutische Verfahrenstechnik e.V · 1998 · PMID 9885303
Clinical TrialRandomized Controlled Trial
Names both Penicillin V Potassium and Potassium in its title.
“No clinically significant abnormal laboratory test results were found in either treatment group. It is concluded that cefpodoxime proxetil is as effective and safe as penicillin V potassium in the treatment of pharyngitis due to S pyogenes.”
Names both Penicillin V Potassium and Potassium in its title.
The Journal of international medical research · 1982 · PMID 6814968
Comparative StudyHuman subjects
“The mean AUC for the calcium salt mixture was 16.94 mg X h/l (SD 3.31) and for the potassium salt 15.84 mg X h/l (SD 4.76), p less than 0.09. These findings confirm that an aqueous mixture of calcium phenoxymethylpenicillin is equivalent to a mixture of potassium phenoxymethylpenicillin.”
Names both Penicillin V Potassium and Potassium in its title.
Pakistan journal of pharmaceutical sciences · 2018 · PMID 30203751
“In order to conceal the unpleasant smell of pharmaceutical raw materials of Penicillin V potassium, we use β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) as a drug carrier. The Penicillin V potassium β-CD inclusion complex was prepared by saturated aqueous solution method; the characterization of penicillin V potassium β-CD inclusion complex is determined by scanning electron microscopy, Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD), the formation constants of the complexes…”
Names both Penicillin V Potassium and Potassium in its title.
Limitations
What this evidence cannot tell you.
Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:
Selection. These records were found by searching PubMed titles and abstracts for both substance names alongside interaction and pharmacokinetic terms. Relevant work that phrases things differently, or is not indexed in PubMed, will be missing.
No effect size. The quoted conclusions are the authors’ words about their own study. We have not extracted effect direction or magnitude, and a single study’s conclusion is not a consensus.
Population mismatch. Findings in healthy volunteers, animals, or a specific patient group may not transfer to you, your dose, or your formulation.
Absence is not safety. Few published studies means the combination is under-studied, which is not the same as established as safe.

NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers Penicillin V Potassium, Potassium, and several hundred other substances.
The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid, and its per-pair assessments are excluded from search until they pass claim-level review.
