This medication almost killed me, it gave me diarrhea so severe I ended up in the ER. My doctor gave me antibiotics and wanted me to continue taking Alevian Duo but nothing would stop the diarrhea until I decided to stop taking those awful pills, 24 hours after that I was OK. Months after that my doctor said we should try again and in less than 8 hours after the first pill of Alevian Duo I was feeling awful cramps and had the worse diarrhea. I would never take it again! ## Hello, Tummy! How are you doing? I'm very sorry about the experience you had. Not all medications work well for everyone that tries them, so I have to agree, if it caused you that severe of a problem, you should likely stay away from it. Have you tried any alternatives? ## I am having pain in my right side for the...

I had a sever upper respiratory infection over 3 months ago. Found out I had fluid in my ears. My ears were ringing so loud. Took the regular amoxicillin til it was gone. Sent back a second time, was prescribed claritin & nasal spray. Neither worked. Went back a second time because was told I had fluid behind eardrum. Was prescribed amoxicillin- clav 500 Was feeling well for 2 days. Now, I have this constant hissing noise in left ear. Also, my ear is like stereo! Everything is LOUD ## That could be due to the infection, and it being cleared up. Have you informed your doctor of the issue? Has there been any change? The typical side effects of Amoxicillin with Clavulanic Acid may include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.

How long do the side effects of Fortaz last after you stop taking it? ## Hi Mary - I did not find specific information as far as how long you could be experiencing side effects after stopping the drug. I know from my own experience that it can be weeks in the case of other antibiotics. You might consider calling the manufacturer Teligent Pharma at 856-697-1441. DailyMed also has a pretty detailed list of possible adverse effects. May I ask what you are experiencing?

My 19 month old son has had osteomyelitis in his left hip and he has been on IV Fluxocillin for 7weeks and on oral Keflex 250mg four times daily for 6weeks. Iam worried that such doses might leave his immune system exposed. Does anyone haeve any suggestion as to how to rebuild his immune system after the course of antibiotics. ## At this time he would be at far greater risk if he didn't have the antibiotics. The typical side effects of Flucloxacillin, and Keflex, may include nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. As to rebuilding his immune system, he may benefit from some probiotics, though you should check with his doctor, before giving him anything, to make sure it is safe. How much longer will he be on these medications?

I am pregnant and I have UTI my doctor says i am resistant already to many antibiotics and she prescribed me a vial one and aside that its expensive I'm afraid it might affect my baby,i want to medicate myself in herbal ways,Is Sambong re-leaf forte safe for pregnant? ## Well, when you are pregnant, it is really safest to follow your doctor's advice and instructions.

I hevent seen my menstruation for six years.I went to de Dr n they gave me anaerobyl 400 , ciplex , doxycycline and ferrous and folic acid , can all this tablets help ? Please give advice on what more can I use to bring back my menstruation iv been trying to conceive n its difficult. ## Hello Shima! How are you? Has there been any change? How old are you? It really depends on why you haven't experienced a period in so long. If it is due to menopause, then there isn't really anything you can do to change that. However, it could be due to several other medical conditions, and resolving such an issue will require getting the relevant condition under control, if so. Are you on any other medications?

My physician ordered Augmentin but insurance only paid for the generic. I have a sinus infection and have been on amox tr-k clv for 4 days now. I have not had any relief yet. It didn't help and I wonder why? I feel that generic meds are not working for me. I know that all generic drugs are chemically made different than the Brand drug in this case Augmentin. Would the brand have worked better? My concern is this terrible headaches I am still having around my eye socket (has not improved after 4 days on the generic drug). Should I not have some relief by now on the generic drug? ## Hello, Mary! How are you? I'm sorry that you're so ill. According to the FDA, generics have to work in the same manner and be bioequivalent, so they are considered the same. And the general rule is...

I used this medication on my little girl for pink eye and it really helps but now she has a kind of rash under her eye that comes and goes. It's been like this all day. Is it normal? What should I do? ## This is an antibiotic ointment and most antibiotics, whether used topically or taken orally, can cause a non-allergic skin rash as a side effect. Have you consulted her doctor? In most cases, it will go away, shortly after she finishes the treatment regimen. ## People, this terramicina is for the eyes. I think you're confused with vitacilina that's used for diaper rash. ## Where can I purchase one of these creams? My daughter has had a bad sty for a week and someone told me this cream was golden to help with stys. SOMEONE HELP please!

Hi. My name is Jana. I've got an abscessed tooth and I've been taking Sulfamethoxazole. They belong to my husband cause my insurance hadn't kicked in yet, but I was wanting to switch to Amoxicillin. Would it be dangerous to switch? ## Your dentist would be the most qualified person to decide that, they may feel it best for you to continue the Sulfamethoxazole, or they may feel a different antibiotic would be more beneficial. Have you already scheduled an appointment? Typical antibiotic side effects may include: dizziness, drowsiness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash.
