Does anyone use Probenecid in addition to their antibiotics?

My doctor just prescribed it in order to keep the bicillin(through weekly injections) in my system longer.

I tried to do a search, but found limited information.

I did find some info that suggested that probenecid prevents abx from reaching the blood/brain barrier//

any information would be greatly appreciated..

Peace...cathy

I was given probenicid when I took one of the meds...can't remember which one now.

Same doctor prescribes plaquenil to be taken with my Biaxin.

As I recall it helps with intracellular penetration. My recall isn't the best...so maybe someone will tell us more or correct me!
