Hi,
Kaypen-250 contains Penicillin-V (phenoxymethyl penicillin) prescribed for the treatment of infections caused by susceptible bacteria. It is also used as a prophylaxis against rheumatic fever. Alternate Pencillin-V formulations like Biopen VK-250 or Penvik-250 or Pentab-250 are equally effective and thus can be used instead of Kaypen-250.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
