It is very soluble in water and sparingly soluble in alcohol. Potency of penicillin G potassium is usually expressed in terms of Units. One mg of penicillin G potassium is equivalent to 1440-1680 USP Units (1355-1595 USP Units for the powder for injection). After reconstitution, penicillin G potassium powder for injection has a pH of 6-8.5, and contains 1.7 mEq of potassium per 1 million Units.
