Procaine benzylpenicillin, also known as penicillin G procaine, is a combination of benzylpenicillin (penicillin G) and the local anesthetic procaine. It is an intramuscularly administered long-acting antibiotic used for various bacterial infections, such as syphilis, due to its prolonged release. Approved and widely used until recently in clinical settings, it is still used for select indications including syphilis and certain streptococcal infections.
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic parameters estimated for healthy adult humans after intramuscular administration, as no recent primary articles with explicit compartment-model parameters were found.
