HOW IS "PEN VEE KAY" TRANSCRIBED?
The correct way to transcribe this is as
penicillin V potassium. Some MTs often transcribe this as "pen
VK" which is at best a slang form, as no such drug exists. Then, there are
other MTs who often transcribe this as "Pen-Vee K" which has been
discontinued.
According to Saunders Pharmaceutical Word Book and Ask Dr.
Stedman's - penicillin V potassium is the preferred and correct way of
transcribing "pen vee kay."
