Can Penicillin and Streptomycin be used together?!
Question:
Answers:
there is nothing that has been documented stating that they cannot. but its always a good idea to ask the pharmacist. there are many drugs, like tetracycline from your other question, that cannot be taken with penicillin. in these cases they reduce the effects of the penicillin because they are all antibiotics.

Yes. I believe this is for a cardiac problem? Make sure you contact your pharmacist to make sure!
A regimen of a single intramuscular dose of penicillin G-streptomycin was compared with regimens of three oral doses of amoxicillin and two oral doses of penicillin V to prevent Streptococcus sanguis endocarditis in rabbits with experimentally induced valvular heart lesions. Challenge doses of 10(4), 10(6), and 10(8) CFU of a strain of S. sanguis highly tolerant to penicillin and amoxicillin were used. The combination of penicillin and streptomycin was the only regimen tested that provided full protection even against the highest inoculum concentration. A single oral dose of penicillin V (36 mg/kg) or amoxicillin (50 mg/kg), two oral doses of penicillin V (36 and 18 mg/kg with a 7-h interval between doses), or six oral doses of amoxicillin (50 mg/kg followed by 8.5 mg/kg at 8-h intervals) protected recipients of the lowest inoculum concentration; protection diminished with increasing inocula. In contrast, administration of two high oral doses of amoxicillin (50 mg/kg) with a 10-h interval between doses provided full protection against challenge doses of 10(4) and 10(6) CFU, preventing endocarditis in 10 (66%) of 15 recipients of 10(8) CFU. All regimens evaluated were highly effective in preventing endocarditis when rabbits were challenged with 10(4) CFU. The combination of penicillin and streptomycin was the best regimen tested. Administration of two high oral doses of amoxicillin (50 mg/kg) with a 10-h interval between doses led to significantly fewer infections when compared with the other oral regimens when rabbits were challenged with 10(6) and 10(8) CFU.
