Just wondering if anyone has had increased success by increasing the number of shots of bicillin?? Just wondering if going from 2 shots a week to 3 would make a difference. I was put on probenecid.

Thnks,

though, except for comfort and conveniance concern, it would be better spread them as to have a broader spectrum of killing power when the borrelia is multplying.

About the only danger is very sore buttocks.

IV penicillin g, which is what Bicillin slowly becomes as it disolves, can be given up to 25m units a day. 40m+ is considered toxic.

There is no physical way one could inject enough Bicillin into muscle to reach overdose levels of penicillin g in the blood.

The biggest problem with more Bicillin is that it becomes hard on the muscle just due to the sheer quantity of material they must hold while it slowly dissolves over a couple of weeks.

If you want more effectiveness from the bicillin, try adding some artemisinin to your regimen in the afternoon or evening. (With your Dr's. approval of course.)
