| Consult your pharmacist. | Penicillin is an antibiotic used to treat and prevent a wide variety of bacterial infections. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. This antibiotic treats only bacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections (e.g., common cold, flu).

| Add Carbenicillin review | Add Penicillin review I have taken Penicillin VK for tooth infection. This medication works very effectively for the infection. I have seen many comments on this drug with people saying they are still in pain. Pen VK does not treat the pain of the tooth infection it just takes care of the infection. I would be better to ask your dentist or doctor for a pain medication to take with the Pen VK. The only time Pen VK gives pain relief is when the infection is gone. just started, can't say if its doing what it should. only on my second day and already having bad issues with diarrhea and my throat is really sore. had to miss work, and taking the pill every 6hrs is annoying. I will have to talk to my dentist to see if there is something else with less side effects.. I was prescribed this medication after an attempted root canal,which the doctor broke my tooth,and I ended up getting surgery from another doctor. It was for infection,and worked good in that respect. It was not for pain. | |||
