What is Bicillin L-A?

Bicillin L-A is a brand-name penicillin injection administered to patients with bacterial infections that require lower-dose, continuous penicillin treatment. The active ingredient in Bicillin L-A is benzylpenicillin (or potassium g penicillin) and is a natural penicillin. Bicillin L-A is highly effective at killing a wide range of bacteria that cause pneumonia, meningitis, anthrax, diphtheria, syphilis, Lyme disease, gonorrhea, listeria, rat-bite fever, blood infections, erysipeloid (bacterial infection of the skin), and others.

Penicillin drugs kill bacteria by interfering with their ability to form a cell wall. As the bacteria cell walls deteriorate, the cell contents spill out and the bacteria die.

Bicillin L-A is administered as a deep intramuscular injection by a physician. The dose will depend on the severity of the underlying infection.

What are the side effects of Bicillin L-A?

The most common side effects of Bicillin L-A are temporary site reactions to the injection such as pain, redness, and swelling. Other common side effects include nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, dizziness, and feeling tired.

Mental and mood changes are very rare and include confusion, agitation, and possibly hallucinations.

Bicillin L-A allergies are common, particularly in patients who have previously been exposed to penicillin. Allergic reactions include hives, rashes, itching, swelling, and difficulty breathing. The most serious allergic reaction is anaphylactic shock, a dangerous and potentially fatal drop in blood pressure. Seek emergency medical help if you notice signs of an allergic reaction after a Bicillin L-A injection.
