<p>For the treatment of mild to moderately severe bacterial infections, if these are due to penicillin susceptible pathogens and respond to therapy with oral penicillin, such as:</p>

<ul>
	<li>infections of the ear, nose and throat regions, e.g., tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, otitis media, sinusitis.</li>
	<li>infections of the lower respiratory tract, e.g., bronchitis and pneumonia, bronchopneumonia.</li>
	<li>infections due to beta-hemolytic streptococci of group A, e.g., scarlet fever, erysipelas, rheumatic fever.</li>
	<li>skin infections, e.g., pyodermia, furunculosis, phlegmon, erysipeloid, erythema migrans, insofar as the micro-organisms are penicillin-susceptible.</li>
	<li>lymphadenitis and lymphangitis of bacterial origin.</li>
	<li>infections of the buccal cavity, gums or jaws, e.g., inflammatory infiltrates, delayed dentition stages II and III, antral fistulae, secondary bacterial infection with Gram-positive pathogens following virus-induced gingivitis or stomatitis.</li>
</ul>

<p>For prophylaxis of scarlet fever; also to prevent recurrences of rheumatic fever. For prophylaxis of infection after dental and oral surgical procedures or dental extractions in certain high risk patients (e.g. with congenital cardiac defects, artificial heart valves, rheumatic endocarditis). In some cases, combination with another appropriate antibiotic may be indicated.</p>
