Hi, I had my third c section on October 16th, bled heavily, as I had after my other two births, then it stopped. My period started on xmas eve and has continued ever since, and I'm still bleeding, all different days, heavy, then it almost stopped, then clots, different colours, I had a scan done before Xmas due to my uterus being very high at my six week check, this scan was clear, They had suspected retained products but this was since ruled out. My doctor put me on primolut and two antibiotics for two weeks, but the bleeding continues, They have now decided it's 'hormonal' and put me back on primolut for the next 3 months, on a one a day dosage. Even though I asked why I'm none the wiser what is happening to me or why, I've never heard of someone bleeding this ...

Are cephalexin green and red capsules the same? ## The same as what, exactly? There is a green and red Cephalexin capsule that has the marking SQUIBB 181 on it and it contains 250mgs of Cephalexin. So, if you are asking about the dosage, then no, because it only contains half the dosage of the 500mg capsules. Cephalexin is an antibiotic and may cause side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, skin rash and diarrhea. ## Pill identity please. Could this be cephalexin 250 mg... It's a bright pink oval tablet with AT250 on one side and >> on the flip side. ## Diego - did you start another thread about this? Regardless, what you are describing appears to be Azithromycin 250 mg manufactured in Canada. This is also an antibiotic, but different than Cephalexin.

I was prescribed by my doctor to take 1000mg at one time for an infection. I got the pills in MX and each bottle says 500mg and contains 6 capsules. Is each pill 500mg or all 6 pills together 500mg? Do I take it all at once or how do I administer these? ## Hello, Kristy! How are you? That means that each pill contains 500mgs of Azithromycin, so two would equal the 1,000mgs that your doctor prescribed and you should take it according to his dosing schedule.

TRIMETHO/SULFA 161-899 mg tab (QLT) expired 4 years ago. Is it safe to use? ## Hello, Marmol! How are you? This antibiotic doesn't become toxic, once it expires, but it does start to lose efficacy, so it may not work as well as it did, when new, which creates the danger of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. Thus, it would be best to dispose of it and see your doctor, if you feel you have an infection and need an antibiotic.
