The most commonly used drugs to prevent rheumatic fever recurrence

Long-acting penicillin is characterized by its effectiveness, persistence of action, high safety and individual adjustment. 1. Effectiveness of long-acting penicillin Long-acting penicillin can effectively kill streptococci, reduce the chance of streptococci infection, and thus reduce the risk of rheumatic fever recurrence. Streptococcal infection is the main cause of rheumatic fever. By regular use of long-acting penicillin, the growth and spread of streptococcal infection can be greatly inhibited. 2. Persistence of action It is called long-acting because it can maintain long-term efficacy in the body, which makes patients do not need frequent medication, usually an injection at intervals, which facilitates patients to adhere to treatment and improves treatment compliance.3. High safety In the case of rational use, long-acting penicillin has relatively few adverse reactions. Of course, a small number of patients may experience local pain, redness, etc., but they are generally mild and can be relieved by themselves. Doctors will closely monitor the patient's reaction during use to ensure safe treatment. 4. Individualization Although long-acting penicillin is a common drug for preventing rheumatic fever recurrence, the specific dosage and frequency of use may need to be individualized according to the specific conditions of the patient. For example, patients with specific underlying diseases or previous allergies need to be more carefully evaluated and formulated. At the same time, doctors regularly evaluate the effectiveness of prevention so that treatment strategies can be adjusted in a timely manner.
