Three received 100,000 units every two hours for three injections, seven received a single injection of 100,000 units, and one received 50,000 units every three hours for a period of twenty-four hours. All showed significantly high blood levels one to two hours after the last injection of penicillin. Eight of the eleven patients showed penicillin in the breast milk.
