Benzathine phenoxymethylpenicillin (rINN), also called penicillin V benzathine (USAN) or benzathine penicillin V, is a penicillin. The benzathine component is a diamine that stabilizes the penicillin component and prolongs its sojourn when injected into tissues, thus improving its pharmacokinetics.
