Sterilization, bacteriostasis, anti-inflammatory. Penicillin is a highly effective and low toxic drug widely used in clinical practice. Penicillin is mainly used to inhibit the synthesis of bacterial cell walls in order to achieve the purpose of sterilization. In addition, pharyngitis, red fever and other diseases caused by hemolytic streptococci can be treated with penicillin. Penicillin can also be used to treat meningitis, otitis media, pneumonia and peritonitis. It can also be used to relieve relapsing fever and syphilis. Penicillin is prone to allergic reactions, so skin tests should be performed before penicillin is used to detect whether the body is allergic to penicillin.
