'''Benzathine benzylpenicillin''' (]) is a form of ] also known as '''benzathine penicillin'''. It is slowly absorbed into the circulation, after ], and hydrolysed to benzylpenicillin ''in vivo''. It is the drug-of-choice when prolonged low concentrations of benzylpenicillin are required and appropriate, allowing prolonged antibiotic action over 2–4 weeks after a single IM dose. It is marketed by Wyeth under the trade name ''Bicillin L-A''.

=== Chemopreventive ===
A single large 1.2-million-unit dose of intramuscular BPG is given to US military recruits. The Army in particular has a policy to inject all recruits if not allergic, though supply issues and individual base choices have reduced the coverage. A retrospective analysis shows that it reduces the rate of all-cause acute respiratory disease by 32% among Army recruits.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Ball JD, Prosperi MA, Brown A, Chen X, Kenah E, Yang Y, Cummings DA, Rivers CM | title = The role of benzathine penicillin G in predicting and preventing all-cause acute respiratory disease in military recruits: 1991-2017 | journal = Epidemiology and Infection | volume = 146 | issue = 14 | pages = 1854–1860 | date = October 2018 | pmid = 29974837 | pmc = 9506690 | doi = 10.1017/S0950268818001838 | doi-access = free }}</ref>
