In terms of differences, eukaryotic cells are much larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells. On average, a typical eukaryotic cell is about 1,000 X larger in volume than a typical prokaryotic cell.
This means both drugs (amoxicillin and penicillin) can treat a wide variety of infections. However, unlike amoxicillin and penicillin, the routinely prescribed drug, metronidazole, has a more selective action towards anaerobic bacteria. These bacteria are the ones causing the signs and symptoms of bacterial vaginosis.
Quick Answer. Penicillin normally takes a few hours to about 5 days to take effect; however, it doesn't relieve pain. Penicillin is a combination of antibiotics that only protects the body from bacterial infection or treats the body against current infection. Penicillin normally inhibits the new bacteria, but it does not work when bacteria replicates.
