Treatment Summary

Procaine benzylpenicillin is an injectable combination antibiotic. It is a mix of benzylpenicillin, which is naturally occurring and effective against a wide range of organisms, and procaine, a local anesthetic to reduce the pain of injection. Procaine benzylpenicillin is administered by deep intramuscular injection and is slowly absorbed and then hydrolyzed into benzylpenicillin, allowing for a slow release of the drug into the body.

Effectiveness

How Penicillin G Procaine Affects Patients

Procaine benzylpenicillin is an antibiotic used to treat bacteria that are sensitive to penicillin. It works by preventing bacteria from making their cell walls, which makes them unstable and unable to survive. It belongs to a family of antibiotics called penicillins and beta-lactams.

How Penicillin G Procaine works in the body

Procaine benzylpenicillin is converted to penicillin G when it reaches the injection site. Penicillin G attaches to the proteins on bacterial cell walls and stops an enzyme from cross-linking peptides to the peptidoglycan backbone. This eventually causes the bacteria to break apart and die.
