SAPG Publishes Revised Guidance for the Management of Acute Dentoalveolar Infections

The Scottish Antimicrobial Prescribing Group (SAPG) and its dental sub-group have published a revision to the antimicrobial prescribing guidance for the management of acute dentoalveolar infections.

The change is a simple one which means that Penicillin V is now the preferred 1^st choice over Amoxicillin for the management of acute dentoalveolar infections.
