does anyone know if you can drink alcohol while taking cefuroxime? ## The reason you are warned not to drink while taking Cefuroxime is because it can aggravate the side effects. It could cause them to be more severe, you may get bad bouts of nausea, drowsiness and dizziness. If you drink a lot and/or you are driving, this can cause a severe and dangerous problem. Are there any other questions? ## so what if i dont have any side effects on this pill... would the alcohol still affect me? ## Can I drink alcohol 2 days after taking cefuroxime 250 mg ?

Hi my name is ne ne I'm taking Amoxicillin 875 Augmentin for a urinary tract infection my doctor told me to take one pill a day for two weeks.

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'm taking cefdinir for an ear infection. Also i have 5 teeth that need cut out and I also have a bad abscess. Can I take penicillin too for the abscess? ## Hello, Teresa! How are you? You should take them both, if your doctor/dentist has instructed you to do so. Multiple antibiotics are often prescribed to treat particularly severe infections, or those caused by differing bacteria. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Has there been any change?

Dr prescribed this for my wife n I to keep us from getting sick while going thru ivf, but since I started taking it my gums hurt. Is that a side effect? ## Hello, Mark! How are you? The FDA does list it as being known to sometimes cause pain and sores in the mouth as side effects. It can also cause an oral yeast infection, which could cause your gums to be sore. Other typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. It would likely be a good idea to have it checked out, as you may need to switch to a different antibiotic. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am taking amoxicillin 875mg pills for 14 days. About how long does it take after the 14 days of antibiotics are completed for it to be completely out of my system? ## Hello, Fred! How are you? 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. It only takes about 2 days for it to be excreted from the body, but some side effects may linger longer. Is there anything else I can help with? ## since taking amocixillin 500 i noticed that my urine was color brown or slightly dark is that normal? i stopped taking it but my urine is still discolored. Is that because the amox is still in my system? thanks.

I am on day 4 of this 10 day antibiotic and have started noticing symptoms of a yeast infection. I'm wondering if I can take monistat 1 or 7 while on the prescription or if I should call my doctor and wait till after I'm done. ## Yes, you can use Monistat, unless your doctor feels you should not do so. But many women get yeast infections from antibiotics, so they are often advised to use it, or their doctor will prescribe something to help prevent one from occurring, such as Fluconazole. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Monistat as possibly including irritation, spotting and discharge. Is there anything else I can help with?

My name is Bonnie. I took 3 Diphen/Atrop pills 2.5 mg and my eyes started burning and had blurred vision. I stopped taking it but my eyes did not get better. I went to an eye Dr and they did extensive testing and said my problem is puckering macula bilateral , dry eyes and presence intraocular lens, unspecified visual disturbances. I was wandering if this drug could have caused it. Because of Cipro the tendons broke in both hands and had to have them operated on. Thank You ## Hello, Bonnie! How are you? As reported by the U.S. FDA, though it is rare, this medication has been known to cause blurred vision and changes in near vision, which tend to continue, as well as other eye problems, including pinpoint pupils, inhibition of the iris sphincter muscle and inhibition of the ciliary muscl...

Liquid penicillin - The date on it is 04-2015. My throat is almost swollen shut. Can I give my self a shot of this? My insurance is not effective until april. I also have runny nose, fever etc. ## Hello, Rhonda! How are you? I'm sorry that you're sick.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of antibiotics as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. It would be best to see your doctor or go to your nearest urgent care. Is there anything else I can help with?

How long does it take for ceftin to get out of your system? I'm on a diet and waiting to cleanse and want to make sure I'm ok to do so. ## Hello, Kakes! How are you?

The FDA classifies this medication as an antibiotic and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Additionally, you should be informed that such cleansing isn't actually proven to do anything, or to be of any benefit.

I had my tooth removed, and was given Doxytet. Does this pill have penicillin? As I am allergic to penicillin. ## Hello, Raja! How are you? It is in a different antibiotic class, but that does not mean that you may not also discover that you are allergic to it. That's usually how it works, if you're allergic to one medication, you'll discover more that you're allergic to.

someone please tell me the shelf life of sulfamethoxazole when being stored in a cool place. I've had this since 10/2013 it's now 2016 Can I take this now????? ## Hello, Pamela! How are you? If it is in bottle as dispensed by your pharmacy, it has an expiration date of one year, from the date you received it, because those bottles expose it to the elements that cause degradation. If it is in the original factory sealed bottle, then it is good for approximately 4 years, from the date you received it. If it is expired, it loses efficacy and could cause you to develop antibiotic resistant bacteria, so you should dispose of it and see your doctor for a new prescription, if an antibiotic is required. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, head...
