Yes, Fortified Procaine Penicillin can treat pneumonia caused by bacteria (Streptococcus pneumoniae). Fortified Procaine Penicillin works in pneumonia by preventing the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall by binding to specific proteins (penicillin-binding proteins). In the absence of the cell wall, the bacteria becomes vulnerable and dies. It also kills the bacteria during the stage of their active multiplication.
