Have had continuous UTI for 5 months Each time bacteria was resistant to amoxicillin The doctor gave me amox tr k clv 875 125 to use one month after current uti med finished..as a prophylactic...I thought you took a prophylactic right after you finished the med on the last uti infection to prevent it starting again ## Hello, Margaret! How are you? For the best outcome, it is always best to follow your doctor's instructions. He may want you to take a break from them, for a bit, to see what happens, though only your doctor can explain their decision. However, I wonder if perhaps they meant for you to stay on it for a month, rather than waiting a month?

I am taking 875 mg of amoxicillin-clav 2x a day. Very dizzy and upset stomach the first day , then diarrhea. The worst of it is the ringing in the ears and anxiety close to panic feeling. I want to break in half to start weaning off so the anxiety won't be so bad maybe? Been taking for 4 days. Please help. ## Hello, Colleen! How are you? Those can be normal side effects in some people that take this antibiotic, as listed by the FDA. You may also experience non-allergic skin rash and headache. However, there is no need to taper off, but you need to make sure to see your doctor so they can prescribe a different antibiotic to eradicate the infection being treated. A full course of antibiotics needs to be finished to fully eradicate the infectious bacteria. Is there anything else I can ...

Recovered from the virur on day 7 by sipping home made soup, whiskey with warm water, lemon and honey and taking a tsp of cod liver oil as couldn't swallow pills. Completely recovered now.

Both my daughters are prescribed liquid amoxicillin every 12 hrs. But I gave them at 9:30 pm, so the next dose is 9am... But I can't give it too them because they are at school. Is it OK if I give it too them, once they get home from school & eat dinner. I worry because my dosing time is off, will the medication, not be as effective. Please I would appreciate your insight & thank you.... ## Hello, Star! How are you? It is best taken twice a day, as prescribed, but it doesn't have to be precisely 12 hours apart. Thus, you could give it to them in the morning, before they go to school and then in the evening, before bed.

Is it ok to mix this medicine with chocolate milk. My child hates the taste of this medicine! ## Hello, Rachelle! How are you?

I am prescribed 4 500mg ic amoxicillin to be taken all at once before any procedure. I wasn't aware that getting a tattoo was considered a procedure so I took them the next day but only took 3 and forgot the fourth one until three hours later. Is this bad because they werent taken all at the same time? I have a leaky valve and a murmur which makes and potential infection more life threatening. So naturally im very concerned. I have no signs of infection but will the antibiotic still work correctly? ## Hello, Anna! How are you? No, taking one a few hours later shouldn't make a huge difference. However, in the future, you should always check with your doctor about what is considered a 'procedure' requiring you to take the antibiotic to be safe. The FDA lists the typical si...

I starting feeling nodes in my neck area. What causes this? I've never felt these before. Would amoxicillin help? ## Hello, Abe! How are you? Usually, when the nodes are swollen and noticeable it is due to your body fighting off some type of infection or illness. In most cases, no treatment is necessary, because they are doing what they are supposed to and will return to normal, once the lines passes. An antibiotic isn't recommended, unless your doctor prescribes it, because the illness could be viral, in which case an antibiotic will not help. The FDA lists the side effects of antibiotics as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thanks Verwon, I was getting concerned.

Hello can you help me I am on amoxicillin 3 times a day for a abscess in my mouth I have took 3 already and thought the pain mite of eased by now but it has not is this the right medication for me ## Hello, Cheryl! How are you? This is an antibiotic to help clear up the infection, but it will not relieve the pain. However, the pain will ease, as the infection clears up, but it usually takes about 3 days for the antibiotic to start working. If the pain continues past 3 days, then you will need to see your doctor or dentist, again.

I have been taking Amox/k 875 for 5 days with little relief. Can I take Acetaminophen or Aleve with this medicine? ## Yes, you can take either of those with it, as long as your doctor approves. However, if you've had no improvement after 5 full days of taking it, then this may not be the right antibiotic to treat your infection. Have you informed your doctor? You may need to switch to a different one. The FDA lists the typical side effects of antibiotics as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

What is an antibiotics that start with the letter A ## Hi Patricia, Amoxicillin is the first antibiotic that comes to mind, starting with the letter A. But Ampicillin, Actinonin, Actinomycin, and Azithromycin are just a few other names that I'm aware of as well. Are you trying to recall something that you may have taken in the past for an infection? ## Yes I'm trying to remember what I took. It caused me to break out in a rash from head to toe. I want to make sure I add it to my allergy list.

I have andxity and need to know if this will make it worse ## Hello, Denise! How are you? No, it shouldn't and I didn't find any interactions listed between then, but you should always double check such information to be sure. The Amoxicillin may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## This is true of ALL antibiotics, thought outpatients should stay away from Cleocin Oral and the Cipro, Levaqin family of drug. (I can NEVER spell flouroquinolones properly) and chloramphenicol (Chloromycetin). The Levaquin family can be used safely in the larger, short-term doses. On the other matter, I assume you've been taking both drugs all along. That's dangerous. Xanax (alprazolam) and Suboxone (opi...

I have an STI. Will Betamox help to treat the STI? If not, what will help with the treatment? ## I want to no about beta mox was given for flu but am very itchy on my private parts ## Hello, Sana! How are you? The FDA lists Betamox as containing Amoxicillin, it is an antibiotic that's used to treat bacteria infections. It can be used to treat some STIs, but not all, so you shouldn't take it, unless your doctor has told you it is the correct one to help. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Sweet, antibiotics can also cause yeast infections as a side effect, so you likely need to see your doctor again, so they can prescribe an antifungal medication to clear that up.

I take a very high quality probiotic that kept away thrush, I then was prescribed amoxicillin after I had suffered a few days of a flu, so I stopped my probiotics for the length of the antibiotics. The thrush has returned. I've completed the antibiotics, had enough for 1 weeks dosage. I've upped my probiotic & am eating extremely healthy, should the thrush clear up. I suffered with it for almost 3 years then these probiotics did clear it up. I'm in a lot of pain please help. ## Hello, Taz! How are you? Antibiotics can cause thrush, as a side effect and stopping the probiotic while taking them may have allowed it to get out of control, again. Other side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Ha...

I have 11 yr old, weighs 130, can I give amoxicillin 500mg? I have some from when I had throat infection. Her throat is hurting and currently no insurance ## Hello, Nena! How are you? You really need to get her to a doctor, if she's still not feeling well. Before you give an antibiotic, you need to be sure that it's an infection and, if it is, you have to make sure you have enough antibiotic to fully eradicate it. The general dosage at her age is 20 to 50mgs per kilogram of body weight, every 8 to 12 hours. The FDA classifies this medication as an antibiotic and lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.
