Benzathine Benzylpenicillin

Benzathine Benzylpenicillin is a white crystalline powder, odorless and insoluble in water. It is stable under normal storage conditions and is used as a long-acting antibiotic due to its benzathine salt formulation, which enables the slow and sustained release of penicillin in the body.

Applications:

1. Medical Use:

Primarily used for the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases caused by penicillin-sensitive bacteria.
It is indicated for conditions such as:

• Syphilis.
• Rheumatic fever.
• Streptococcal infections (e.g., streptococcal pharyngitis).
  Thanks to its prolonged action, a single intramuscular injection can provide antibiotic coverage for several weeks.

2. Research and Development:

• Used in pharmacological studies to investigate the mechanisms of action and bacterial resistance to beta-lactams.
• Valuable in the development of controlled-release formulations.
