Penidure Injections are just injections with Penicillin G Benzathine. This injections may be useful if your mother suffers from Rheumatic Fever but not from Rheumatoid Arthritis. In a certain diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis according to the criteria of ACR/EULAR 2010, injections with Penicilline are not raccomanded since this is not an infection but an inflammatory condition, thus antibiotics like penicilline would not ease the disease.
