Diagnosed with syphilis in remote location
Dear experts I have been diagnosed with syphilis primary and i am in remote location where the availability is only of Penicillin G Potassium 800000u tablets and have been asked to have them twice daily on empty stomach for 10 days. I just wanted to check if they really work as I read online generally Benzathine Penicillin is preferred medication. I dont trust the medicine department here as they are mostly ngo diven. Please help with following questions.
1) Will this clear my infection and if the duration said for tablets is correct.

Penicillin is the most used remedy for syphilis, except in those people who have any kind of allergy to this antibiotic. They wouldn't have given them to you if they were not useful. Follow their instructions closely, and go periodically to talk to them as they may want to test you again to see how the infection is oing on.
All the best.
