GlossaryBenzathine Penicillin

long-acting antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections

Benzathine Penicillin, also known as Benzathine Penicillin G or Bicillin L-A, is a long-acting antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, including syphilis and rheumatic fever. It works by slowly releasing penicillin into the bloodstream, providing prolonged antibacterial activity, which makes it effective for conditions requiring extended treatment.
