Yes, they are not related, at all.

Penicillin is an antibiotic that's used to treat various types of infections.

Learn more Penicillin details here.

You can usually recognize its relatives by that cillin on the end, another example would be Amoxicillin, it is a close relative.


However, Lactulose is a non-digestible sugar that's used to treat constipation.

Are there any other questions I can help with?
