A member asked:
A single shot of penicillin for strept of 1.2 million units. how long does it last to cure the strept or start to cure it.

A day: You would be considered not contagious after 24 hours with such treatment. Hopefully you received a combo of short & long acting penicillin because it takes a good 10 days of abx level in your blood to completely eradicate the germ from your system.
