Penicillins, combinations with other antibacterials (ATC J01RA01) include formulations that combine penicillin antibiotics with other antibacterial agents, often to broaden the antibacterial spectrum or mitigate resistance. These combinations are used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including respiratory, urinary tract, and soft tissue infections. While individual agents may still be used, some specific combinations have fallen out of favor due to resistance patterns or the development of newer antibiotics.
Estimated typical adult values for a standard intravenous dose; no direct pharmacokinetic studies specific to penicillins, combinations with other antibacterials (J01RA01) found.
