Penicillen is an antibiotic. This means it can only kills bacteria . It would be ineffective if you had a virus, like a cold or influenza. However, penicillen is only effective on organisms that have cell walls, as this it's their target. Luckily, this is the case for most bacteria.
Penicillen is normally prescribed by your doctor.
