What is Pencom Injection (Benzathine Penicillin) used for?

Pencom Injection (Benzathine Penicillin) is an injectable form of penicillin that is prescribed to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections that may be severe or life threatening. The medication destroys or slows the reproduction of bacteria cells making it easier for the immune system to control or destroy the infection. It may be used to treat rheumatic fever, otitis media, or infections affecting the skin, soft tissues, respiratory tract, sinuses, or urinary tract.

How should I use Pencom Injection (Benzathine Penicillin)?

Collect the prescribed amount of solution into the syringe, inject it into a vein or muscle, and press the plunger slowly to allow the medication to disperse.
