I've just been prescribed Penicillin Gk 5mu Inj, 1 Vial to treat an infection. I'm a bit nervous because I've never had an injection for antibiotics before. Can anyone share their experiences with this specific type of Penicillin? Also I'd like to know how to manage some of the side effects I've read about. For example, how do you tell the difference between normal diarrhea and C. diff-associated diarrhea (bothered me before)? How do I watch for signs of an allergic reaction? And what should I do if I experience muscle or joint pain? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!
