Penicillin and Cyclosporine are two different names for different drugs. There is no other similarities between them aside the fact that they are both medications. This shows, there are a lot of differences between them. Penicillin is a common antibiotic drug which is most times used in treating infections. It can be used to treat different cases of infections; rheumatic fever, scarlet fever and other types of fever can be treated by using penicillin. Infections caused by bacteria can be cured with penicillin.
Patients are usually advised to use 125-250 mg of penicillin after every 9 hours for 10 days. Cyclosporine, on the other hand, is mostly used during organ transplant to reduce the power of the immune system of the body, so there won't be any form of problem or complication during the operation. It is used during organ transplant like liver transplants and kidney transplants. Always stick to your doctor's prescription because, cyclosporine usually comes with a serious side effects.
