Hello When you were a child ,at that time you may got streptococcus infection in your throat and this may have infected your heart and knee joint known as rheumatic heart disease and rheumatoid arthritis . The penidure is a long acting benzathine penicillin and most effective against streptococcal infection . For the prevention for rheumatic heart disease and knee ( rheumatoid arthritis ) , your doctor prescribed this drug . It was advised 6 lac/ month ( once ) deep intramuscular . Hope I have answered your question. Till date this is the best treatment for these infections.
