dr.My name is sreejith age 27 and i had rheumatic fever. I took penidure injection and stopped in my 21st age as per my doctor s advise and started kaypen 250.The problem nowadays it is very difficult to get the kaypen 250 in the market. Therefore doctor please advise an alternative product which is available in the market.Sreejith.
Hi,Kaypen-250 contains Penicillin-V (phenoxymethyl penicillin) prescribed for the treatment of infections caused by susceptible bacteria. It is also used as a prophylaxis against rheumatic fever. Alternate Pencilling formulations like Biogen VK-250 or Penvik-250 or Pentab-250 are equally effective and thus can be used instead of Kaypen-250. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
