With the introduction of Broxil® capsules and powder for oral suspension, a narrow-spectrum penicillin is again available in Belgium (pheneticillin potassium as active ingredient). It is used in the form of capsules (250 mg and 500 mg) or as powder for suspension (125 mg/5 ml) for the treatment of infections caused by streptococci and some staphylococci. The spectrum is similar to that of penicillin V, that has already disappeared from the Belgian market for some time. In that respect, pheneticillin can be seen as an alternative to the unavailable Penicillin V.
