Penicillin. Penicillin is a common antibacterial drug and also belongs to the beta-lactam class of antibiotics. It is primarily used to treat infections caused by streptococci, such as hemolytic streptococcus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Therefore, for patients with dacryocystitis, penicillin may be selected for treatment under the guidance of a physician.
