Phenoxymethylpenicillin is an antibiotic used to treat mild to moderate bacterial infections, such as tonsillitis, pharyngitis, or skin infections. It belongs to the penicillin class and works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, thereby killing the bacteria.

The medication is taken orally, usually in the form of tablets or suspension, and should be used as directed by your doctor. It is important to complete the full course of treatment to prevent the development of bacterial resistance.

Side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, allergic reactions, or, in rare cases, severe reactions such as anaphylactic shock.

Patients should inform their doctor about any known allergies to penicillins or other antibiotics to ensure the safe use of phenoxymethylpenicillin.
