Bp Injection is a narrow-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic which belongs to the class of drugs known as penicillins. It works by preventing the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall by binding to specific proteins (penicillin-binding proteins). In the absence of a cell wall, the bacteria becomes vulnerable and dies. It also kills the bacteria during the stage of their active multiplication. It is effective against penicillin-susceptible bacteria such as staphylococci (barring the penicillinase-producing strains), streptococci (groups A, B, C, G, H, L, and M), Streptococcus pneumoniae, Treponema pallidum, and Neisseria meningitidis.

The dose of Bp Injection may vary depending on the type of bacteria and severity of the infection. Oral Bp Injection should be taken empty stomach because the presence of acid and food can affect its absorption from the stomach or take it as advised by your doctor.
