Antibiotic Red Capsule 3147 Teva (Top voted first)

Updated

I was given about 6 of them by a friend for an absess on my arm. Is it safe to take them for an absess? Will it help heal it; possibly make it go away without having to go get it lanced and squeezed at the hospital.

The red capsule you're describing is identified as Cephalexin 500 mg; an antibiotic used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections.

Unfortunately there's no real way of knowing how well you'll end up responding to this drug, since it's common for antibiotics to effect each person differently (with regards to side effects, duration of treatment, and overall efficacy).

This is why it's so important to use a legitimate prescription from your doctor, because they can offer you more appropriate advice after an in-person diagnoses/evaluation. For anyone else to say that 'it is safe and will work', is blindly giving you medical advice that can only be determined by assessing the severity of the condition and understanding your medical history. I know it's not necessarily the answer you may have been looking for, but it really is what it is when it comes to offering medical advice.

You can learn more about this drug on the page for Cefalexin Details

I hope this helps in any way!

It may help briefly but 6 of them won't make the abscess go away. It needs to be drained. If it isn't drained you'll eventually get a fever and the infection will spread. Trust me. I ended up in the hospital for 13 days cause I put off getting an abcess drained in my leg and got an infection in my entire calf. If I had waited any longer I could have lost my leg or the infection could have spread to any of my vital organs. Especially the heart.
