Professional:Probenecid may increase the plasma concentrations and half-lives of penicillins. The mechanism is competitive inhibition by probenecid of the renal tubular secretion of penicillins. While this interaction is often exploited to enhance the antibacterial effect of penicillins, toxicity may occur and should be considered if high penicillin dosages are administered intravenously.
