Benzathine Penicillin G + Dihydrostreptomycin + Procain Penicillin G

Benzathine Penicillin G + Dihydrostreptomycin + Procain Penicillin G is a combination of antibiotics for veterinary use. Benzathine Penicillin G and Procain Penicillin G belong to the class of drugs known as penicillins, which inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis. Dihydrostreptomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis.

 

  • Benzathine Penicillin G + Dihydrostreptomycin + Procain Penicillin G is indicated for the treatment and control of certain bacterial infections in animals.
  • It is commonly used to treat respiratory tract infections, mastitis, foot rot, and other bacterial infections in cattle, sheep, swine, and other animals.
  • The dosage of Benzathine Penicillin G + Dihydrostreptomycin + Procain Penicillin G should be determined by a veterinarian based on the specific bacterial infection being treated, the animal species, and the severity of the infection.
