Question |
While giving Inj Penidure/Pencom(benzathine Penicillin) I/M for prevention of recurrence of Rheumatic fever ,the needle often gets blocked and the whole of solutin can not be injected due to its high density. Even recommended amount of distilled water and using 22 Gauge needle fails to solve the problem. What is your experience and suggestion about this practical problem? sincerely Dr. J.S. CHUGH

Answer |
It is due to clogging of the penicillin sediment in the needle. Make sure to shake the vial properly so that no sedmiment remains. If it persists, one may divide and give penicillin at 2 different sites.
