Penicillin Medications

Penicillin medications are widely used antibiotics that treat various bacterial infections, including strep throat, syphilis, pneumonia, and cellulitis. They work by inhibiting the construction of bacterial cell walls, ultimately causing the bacteria to die. Penicillins are effective against many Gram-positive bacteria and some Gram-negative bacteria. These medications can be administered orally or via injection. It's important to complete the prescribed course to ensure full eradication of the infection and to help prevent antibiotic resistance. Consulting with a healthcare provider is crucial for proper use.
