Re: Mega dose of penicillin (Selexid)

[Guest guest]

Hello Marika,

I have been on extended IV Vancomycin and Garamycin in the past and

tolerated it quite well except for some weight loss. Once for replacement Aortic

Valve protection and once for a pneumonia blood infection. These are very

powerful antibiotics and more expensive than Penicillin.

Selexid is a long acting penicillin of first choice of urinary lower tract

infection. The V and the G are IV because they are toxic to the liver and need

to be diluted.

One of my kids just did a 5 day round of IV vancomycin without any

side effects.
