I have a bootle of penicillin v k 500mg And the expiration 5/28/15 can i take one my throat is killing me ## Hello, Mat70015! How are you? This medication does not become toxic, once expired, but it can start to lose effectiveness, so it may not fully eradicate infectious bacteria, if you have an actual infection. It would be best to dispose of it and see your doctor, to determine whether or not you actually have an infection and, if so, to obtain a new supply. 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 developed a fever and was prescribed Taxim-O 200mg by my doctor, along with other medications. After taking it for three days, my fever completely subsided.

What can I do for diahrea I had diahrea now for three days ## Hello, Rolande! How are you? Has there been any change?

I have had a rash on my lower legs for two months. The rash has now on my back and bottom. I have tried everything I can think of to stop the itching. I was prescribed to antibiotics by my doctor and different creams. Nothing has helped. It is now nearly three months with this problem. Will deselex help? ## Hello, Charmaine! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're experiencing. It may help, it is an antihistamine that's used to treat or prevent allergic reactions. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Have you tried changing your laundry detergent? Or trying a different skin soap? It could be something like that causing the rash.

I ordered azithromycin online and it is a white oval with no imprint. Is this safe? ## If there is no imprint, it is difficult to say what it might be, that is one of the hazards of ordering online. We can rule it out as being a U.S. prescription product, because they are all required to have imprints to enable their identification, but if it's from a foreign source, there is really no way to say. Is anyone familiar with this? ## I ordered the exact same. Did you take them? I'm a little leary.

What is a round pinkish pill with imprint HD725? ## This is no longer manufactured, but it does contain Doxycycline, an antibiotic. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, skin rash and diarrhea. ## I think you may be wrong about this one. You are right about it being discontinued, but it is Darvocet not Doxy. Big difference!

Will taking cephalexin 500 4 times a day for 7 days show up as a positive in a drug test? Will be taking drug test 3 weeks after finishing meds ## Will the antibiotic reflex show a "false positive" drug screen? ## I recently took a drug test that was a dip stick put in my pee and I was taking keflex, ibuprofen, lamotragen, clonodine, resperidone and the test came back that I had benzodiazepines in it and none of my meds are benzodiazepines the only thing that would give a false reading would be the keflex I was pissed. So they didn't believe me until a couple days later when they sent it off to the lab when it came back negative for benzodiazepines and still they don't think that it was the keflex that caused it. Unbelievable!

I had a pillar cyst removed from the back of my head and the wound got infected, so the doctor prescribed this med to clear it up. Wow! I have never had an allergic reaction to anything in my life, but this drug knocked me for a loop. I thought I had the stomach flu one day--kept trying to throw up, diarrhea, stiff neck, headache, feverish, affected my vision. I slept the entire day. I stopped taking the med because my stomach wouldn't tolerate anything. The next day, I started to feel better, so started back on the med and the symptoms came back with a venegaence--. that's when I looked up the side effects and called the doctor. I got into the shower after that and noticed I had a horrible rash all over the upper part of my body. It's been almost 24 hours since I stopped ta...

Hi all, so I went on antibiotics last week to combat a sinus infection. At the time I started I had a low fever. Now the sinus symptoms have gone, but I still have a fever, and I am very nauseous and light-headed. Is this normal? Could this be a bad reaction to the amox? Help! ## Hello, Sara! How are you? Yes, those can be side effects of antibiotics, occasionally, they can be just as annoying as the infection you were trying to get rid of!!! You may also experience non-allergic skin rash, headache and diarrhea. If it worsens, you should consult your prescriber. Is there anything else I can help with?
