Amoxicillin Forums (Page 15)

My friend says its amoxicillian..i will not take anything with no imprint until im sure what it is. ## Hello, Mary! How are you? That's a very wise stance to have. And no, if there are no markings on it, then it is not Amoxicillin. All prescription tablets that are approved and available in the U.S. have markings on them to enable their identification. If it has no markings, it is most likely just some type of over the counter product and being round and white, that leaves it open to many possibilities. I'll keep looking and post back, when I have information for you. Does anyone else have any ideas what this might be? ## I know people who take small, white pills with a line down the middle. She says it's oxycodone, & I believe it. Her eyes are always contracted. Be safe.

Can this medication be taken with amoxicillin ## There are no interactions listed between the two, since the Potassium is just a nutritional supplement, but you should check with your doctor, or pharmacist to be certain. You should be careful with the Potassium, because it can be very irritating to your stomach, so make sure not to take it without having eaten. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I did not taken pot cl mucro 20meg because of my gastric inflamation please i need advise

I have severe anxiety, I have no clue the pressure in my left ear is an ear infection or what.... I went to urgent Care and the dr said it looked like a little redness and gave me 500mg of amoxicillin twice daily. For ten days. I took one dose and had a rash all the way up my arm, but Benadryl spray on it and it's almost gone. How long will it take for it to get out of my system? ## Britt Why don't you contact the urgent care facility that prescribed the amoxicillin they could probably answer your questions better then we can without benefit of your history and underlying issues..these forums should never be substituted for skilled medical providers. ## @BrittR, According the drug half-life calculator here on MedsChat, Amoxicillin has an estimated half-life of 1.5 hours. So it w...

can i take amoxicillin if i am allergic to penicillin? ## My daughter is allergic to penicillin, can she take amoxicillin? ## Neither of you should take this drug.Notice how both of the spelling ends with (cillin) . Allergies can be deadly, Why would you want to possibly KILL your daughter and yourself. Do yourself a favor and go to your doctor. ( Don't try this at home ) Antibotics should never be self admin. That is how we get SUPER BUGS like MRSA. ## These medications are related, however, not all allergies cross over, some people can safely use Amoxicillin when they are allergic to Penicillin and vice/versa, however, it is a risk. Have you spoken to your doctor or pharmacist about this? Are they aware of the allergy? ## Sorry, I forgot to include the medication link: ## I am all...

I have been diagnosed with periodontitis. My dentist prescribed 500mg amoxicillin 3 times a day for 30 days. Is this normal? I've never had amoxicillin prescribed for more than 7-10 days. ## Hello, Keemo! How are you? Yes, it is usually prescribed according to the type and severity of the infection, so you should take it as directed by your dentist. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Keemo, Although this medication is traditionally prescribed for 7-10 days there are specific conditions that require long term antibiotic therapy. Although we are facing many conditions that have become resistant to common antibiotics, only your prescriber can make that...

Prescribed amoxicillin 500 mg for a uti. After the 9th pill I became dizzy. I have 5 more pills to finish treatment.

It is best to finish your full course of treatment, unless your doctor instructs otherwise. If it becomes severe, you should consult your doctor.

Oval white pill with GGN7 - Is this Amox-Clav 875mg? ## GGN7 is Amoxicillin + Clavulanic Acid 875 mg. This is generic for the Augmentin brand.

Can amoxicillin be taken for a sinus infection? It's 6 months old but it's been in the refrigerator. ## What is the expiration date on this antibiotic? The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. If it has expired, it may have lost some efficacy, so it would be best to see your doctor for a new supply, if an antibiotic is required.

My grandson was given this medicine for an ear infection, because he was teething. He is teething now and bothering his ear again, the same way from before. The med (amoxicillin) is about 2 months old. Is it ok to give him now? ## While teething can, sometimes, cause ear pain, it is usually not indicative of an infection and an antibiotic isn't required, according to the AMA. Thus, it would be best not to give it to him, unless his doctor confirms that he has an ear infection and requires an antibiotic. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. What types of symptoms is he displaying?

The FDA lists the typical allergic reactions as possibly including nausea, swelling, trouble breathing, skin rash, and hives. Is there anything else I can help with?

Will I have an allergic reaction if I take amoxicillin after being allergic to cedax? ## In theory, yes, because it is a different antibiotic, but when people are allergic to one medication, there is always a chance that they may discover there are others that they are allergic to, as well. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have amoxicillin trihydrate powder that was prescribed by my doctor for my daughter that I never used. I kept it in the fridge since may (it expires in 2018). I also have the appropriate amount of distilled water also given to me by the pharmacist. Upon speaking to the pharmacist I was just told the powder was not supposed to be kept in the fridge. Can I still use it?

I got an abscess as a result of a piece of a tooth breaking, and it was close to the root. When I initially went to the dentist, the abscess wasn't too big at all, the doctor gave me 500mg amoxicillin to take 3 times a day, and scheduled me for a root canal in two weeks. I was taking the amoxicillin for 3 days and didn't notice any changes, and the abscess & swelling got bigger and hard and hot to touch. I went back to the dentist to let them know the amoxicillin wasn't doing anything for me, to see if they can prescribe me another stronger antibiotic. They did not prescribe me another antibiotic, but instead told me I need to finish the amoxicillin in order to see any changes, and just prescribed me 800mg ibuprofen to take along with the amoxicillin. What I wanted to kn...

The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Hi there, I've been prescribed this for the start of a flu, I recently went to a dentist for a tooth pain and the dentist has given me Clonamox 500GM caps to take , can I take these at the same time , otherwise I am normally very healthy. Thanks Daniel ## Hello, Daniel! How are you? An antibiotic will not help with the flu, or its symptoms, since it is caused by a virus and antibiotics only treat bacterial infections. Additionally, these both contain Amoxicillin, so there isn't any point in taking both.
