Now the UK Government has confirmed we have a penicillin shortage, by insisting there's no penicillin shortages while telling us not to use any we may have already at home.... are they trying to reverse psychology us into doing just that?
"Psst got any PenV?"
Aye £20 a bottle.

I'm lucky - I don't live in England, I live in Luxembourg so the penury of Penicillin won't affect me - oh and I'm allergic to the bloody stuff anyway! Whenever I say that to a doctor who wants to give me some, they almost audibly groan as apparently being allergic to Penicillin is extremely fashionable right now (like allergy to gluten) and seldom 'real'. However in my case , it is real! If I take oral Penicillin I come out in a hideous urticarial rash and if I'm injected with it intra-muscularly, I go into shock, my blood pressure collapses and so do I.

Same. Penicillin V will initially start as copious vomiting, then rash, then lack of breathing in me.
Caphalexin too.

@Paulos_the_fog @Elemjay1 Me to , was given it years ago for an infection , rash all over , luckily there are other antibiotics that work !
