Mechanism of action:

Penicillin G is an antibiotic of the β-lactam class. It works whit interfering in the formation of the cell wall in growing bacteria. This weakness in the cell wall kills the gram-positive bacteria.

This combination has a synergistic action against broad spectrum of gram-positive and gram- negative bacteria.
