Description
Bicillin C-R 1.2 million units is an antibiotic combination containing penicillin G benzathine and penicillin G procaine. It is used for the treatment of various bacterial infections, particularly those caused by susceptible strains of streptococci, staphylococci, and certain types of pneumococci. Bicillin C-R is commonly used for the management of infections such as syphilis, upper respiratory infections, and certain types of skin infections.
The formulation contains two forms of penicillin, allowing for a combination of immediate and sustained release. Penicillin G benzathine provides a long-acting effect, while penicillin G procaine offers a quicker onset of action. This dual mechanism ensures effective treatment over an extended period, which is beneficial for managing infections requiring prolonged antibacterial activity.
Bicillin C-R 1.2 million units is typically administered by healthcare professionals in a clinical setting, where it is injected intramuscularly. It is essential that the injection is administered properly to avoid irritation or tissue damage.
