Everytime I get flu I use purbac as it helps with my cough otherwise if I take a cough mixture I develop bronchitis. I been hiv positive for 23 years now. Is it a good thing to take it or not ## Since you're HIV positive, developing an infection, even just bronchitis could be very risky, so most doctors do prefer to prescribe this antibiotic as a preventative. Thus, it should be okay to take, as long as your doctor approves. 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?

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Why did the doctor say they were prescribing it?

If I have this medication for my dog. Is it interactive with humans? Can I take it? I have a tooth ache that is so bad with infection my face is swollen. I can't see a dentist for 6 days. I'm trying everything from garlic, ginger, peroxide, Apple cider vinegar, etc to help and nothing is helping. Also is there penicillin in this drug? I am allergic. Thank you for your help. ## Hello, Rene! How are you feeling? I'm very sorry about the infection, they are miserable! As to this medication, unfortunately, I can't speak to the safety of your taking it. Many medications that are prescribed for canines are the same as those prescribed for people, but not all. Are there any markings on it that would enable me to check? No, it doesn't contain Penicillin, it contains Cephalex...

I only took two of twenty tablets, bloody urine and bloody stools, really screwed up my plateles and lots of boodwork that had always been normal, regarding bloodwork, after four month still new doc trying to cure after effects ## Hello, Tom! How are you? If you only took 2 tablets, then it's not very likely that adverse effects would still be lingering months later. Thus, I really think you may have something else going on that isn't related to this antibiotic. Just because your blood work used to always be normal, doesn't mean that you may not develop a health condition that changes it, so it's no longer normal. What type of doctor are you seeing for this? ## I'm on plavix 75mg and I was wondering if Augmentin 875mg would cause a side affect to my blood thinner tha...

I first had blister-like sores on my vaginal lips and now I have a very sore bump like next to my rectum. It's so painful so I decided to start myself on betamox 500 and metazol 200. Will this help? ## Hello, Lelethu! How are you? I'm sorry about the problems you're having. No, these are only effective at treating bacterial infections, since they are antibiotics. The FDA lists their typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. However, if you had blister-like sores, then that's usually caused by the herpes virus, there is no cure for it and antibiotics won't treat it, it will eventually clear up on its own, but you may suffer recurrent outbreaks. It would be best to have this checked out by your doctor t...

Hi am Hiv positive, my CD4 count is 175, am taking tribuss and purbac started last week and it makes me dizzy, nauseas and caused me diarrhea my concern is I just had a surgeon removing haemorroids so a runny stomach is a hustle for me, how long am I gonna experience this ## Hello, LouLou! How are you? Diarrhea is a very common side effect of the Purbac, but it may continue as long as you are taking it. Other side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and non-allergic skin rash. You may want to speak to your prescriber about ways you can minimize it. There may be a medication you can take, or different foods you can eat to alleviate it. Is there anything else I can help with?

I use the 400mg and it makes me have no control over my blader. I had blader infection, blood in my urine. The docter prescribed it, one once a day. ## Hello, Maria! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problems you're experiencing. It is more likely that the loss of bladder control is due to the infection, rather than the medication. The FDA lists the typical side effects of antibiotics as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. It can be normal to have urinary leakage or loss of control, when you have a severe UTI. Has it improved at all, yet?
