4.1 Therapeutic indications
Phenoxymethylpenicillin and phenoxymethylpenicillin potassium are
indicated in the treatment of mild to
moderately severe infections associated with micro-organisms whose
susceptibility to penicillin is within
the range of serum levels attained with the dosage form.
Phenoxymethylpenicillin is indicated for prophylaxis against:
• Pneumococcol infection (e.g. in asplenia and in patients with
sickle cell disease).
Note: Severe empyema, bacteraemia, pericarditis, meningitis and
arthritis should not be treated with
Penicillin V during the acute phase.

infections of the upper respiratory tract,
scarlet fever and mild erysipelas.
Pneumococcal infections: mild to moderately severe infections of the

infections of the oropharynx usually
respond to therapy with oral penicillin.
