No, Biocin Injection cannot be taken with penicillin. Because penicillin inactivates the Biocin Injection by combining the beta-lactam ring of penicillin with an amino group of this drug to form amide which is biologically inactive. For this reason Biocin Injection should not be taken with penicillin.
