Phenoxymethylpenicillin
For Throat & Skin Infections
Classic penicillin V. Still the right choice for strep throat.
In brief…
Phenoxymethylpenicillin (penicillin V) is the oral penicillin of choice for streptococcal throat infections, scarlet fever and mild skin infections. It’s been used for over 70 years and remains the first-line treatment because streptococci have never developed resistance to penicillin. Simple, cheap and effective.
