Penicillin V benzathine
Penicillin V is natural penicillin that acts against penicillin-sensitive organisms. Penicillin V is a broad spectrum antibiotic that inhibits the biosynthesis of cell wall of bacteria. Penicillin V Benzathine has activity against streptococci, staphylococci, fusospirochetes, anaerobes, Borrelia burgdorferi, Actinomyces sp. and Bacillus anthracis.

Penicillin V Benzathine is not indicated in history of hypersensitivity to penicillins, cephalosporins and imipenem. Streptococcal infections must be treated for at least 10 days. Suspension contains 15 mg/5 ml aspartame (that is metabolized to phenylalanine in the GI tract) and should not be used by phenylketonurics. Penicillin V should be used with caution in patients with history of GI diseases especially antibiotic-associated colitis. In patients with severe renal function impairment, reduction in dosage or increase in dosing interval is recommended.

Penicillin V benzathine
Bacteriostatic antibiotics may interfere with penicillins. Penicillin V Benzathine may reduce the efficacy of oral contraceptives. Probenecid decreases renal tubular secretion of penicillins. Penicillins reduce the clearance of methotrexate. False-positive urine glucose reactions may occur in non-enzymatic tests using cupric sulfate during penicillin therapy.
