The government has proposed to impose MIP on Penicillin-G (Pen-G), with possible extension to 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) and amoxicillin. Penicillin-G is not a standalone product. It is the upstream 'mother molecule' for a wide range of essential antibiotics, feeding into intermediates such as 6-APA, GCLE and 7-ADCA, and into high-volume formulations including amoxicillin, ampicillin, multiple cephalosporins and widely used combinations.
