Pharmacokinetics of intramuscular versus subcutaneous administration of Benzathine Penicillin G

Benzathine penicillin G (BPG) has been in use since the 1950s for treatment of skin infections, bacterial pharyngitis, syphilis and prevention of recurrent episodes of acute rheumatic fever (ARF)

Subcutaneous infusion of high-dose benzathine penicillin G is safe, tolerable, and suitable for less-frequent dosing for rheumatic heart disease secondary prophylaxis: a phase 1 open-label population pharmacokinetic study

Since 1955, the recommended strategy for rheumatic heart disease secondary prophylaxis has been benzathine penicillin G injections administered intramuscularly every 4 weeks. Due to dosing frequency, pain, and programmatic challenges, adherence is suboptimal. It has previously been demonstrated that BPG delivered subcutaneously at a standard dose is safe and tolerable and has favorable pharmacokinetics, setting the scene for improved regimens with less frequent administration.
