    Pencillin V is an antibiotic in the penicillin class used to treat mild to moderately severe infections caused by sensitive bacteria. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, killing the bacteria. It has indications for streptococcal, pneumococcal, and staphylococcal infections as well as preventing bacterial endocarditis during dental procedures. It is contraindicated in those with penicillin allergies and may cause adverse effects like nausea, diarrhea, rash, anaphylaxis. Culture infections before and during treatment and continue treatment for several days after symptoms resolve.
