Quality of benzathine penicillin G: A multinational cross‐sectional study

SERUM PENICILLIN LEVEL A FTER INTRAMUSCULA R INJECTION OF 1,200,000 UNITS OF BENZATHINE PENICILLIN G IN CHILDREN WITH RHEUMATIC FEVER

The most accepted method of secondary prophylaxis in rheumatic fever (RF) has been an injection of 1,200,000 units of benzathine penicillin G (BPG) every 4 weeks, but recurrences have been reported in some patients despite such a prophylaxis program. The WHO recommended BPG injections every 3 weeks in high risk patients and situations due to some published data in favor of inadequacy of on...

Benzathine penicillin G in the control of gonorrhea.

A single dose of benzathine penicillin G is as effective as multiple doses of benzathine penicillin G for the treatment of HIV-infected persons with early syphilis.

BACKGROUND Treatment guidelines recommend the use of a single dose of benzathine penicillin G (BPG) for treating early syphilis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected persons. However, data supporting this recommendation are limited. We examined the efficacy of single-dose BPG in the US Military HIV Natural History Study. METHODS Subjects were included if they met serologic criteria f...

Factors associated with loss of penicillin G concentrations in serum after intramuscular benzathine penicillin G injection: a meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND An interval of 3-4 weeks between intramuscular injections of 1.2 million units of benzathine penicillin G as prophylaxis against group A streptococcal infection is recommended by health organizations for patients with pediatric rheumatic fever and heart disease. METHODS We reviewed the literature for evidence of the persistence of serum penicillin G during the first 4 weeks after t...

Electrochemical Investigation of The Effect of Penicillin G Benzathine as a Green Corrosion Inhibitor For Mild Steel

In this paper, the effect of penicillin G benzathine (PGB) drug as a green corrosion inhibitor on mild steel in 1.0 M hydrochloric acid solution has been investigated using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The inhibition efficiency (IE) was found to increase with increasing inhibitor concentration. Potentiodynamic polarization measure...
