Penicillin has very large margin of safety. Usual adult dose of procaine penicillin is 600,000 I.U. (International units) per day. The adult dose of penicillin can be given up to 24 million I. U. of crystalline penicillin per day in meningitis. The first dose of penicillin, that was given to the patient as trial dose was only 5000 I.U. few times per day. It was given during second world war. The most wonderful thing that this small dose did work. The patient started to improve. Later on died of infection, only because the stock of penicillin got exhausted.
