How Long Does Penicillin Take To Show Effect On Body?

Hi Doctor I ve gone through a lot of posts over here and thought of asking my question. I ve gone through a medical test recently cause I was due to fly to Qatar and I ve been told that I m VDRL positive and TPHA positive. The medical representative informed me that according to GCC, I m unfit to fly to Qatar and advised me to see my GP. My GP advised me to go to a clinic and get myself thoroughly checked. He advised me to take Penincillin, for three weeks. I took the first shot in my home country and the other two over here in Qatar. The last shot that I took gave me side effects. So, how long it will take for the Penincillin to work on me? Cause I m due to go for medicals over here and when they check my blood test, will it show in my blood. Waiting for your reply Thank You

HI
Well come to HCM
Now for your first query, penicillin would work nicely if organism are sensitive and if organisms are have developed resistance against penicillin then you may not have any clinical effect, even after eradication infection blood result for that comes positive for quite long time, hope this information helps, take care.
