I take 40 mg of methadone daily, have for 2 years. Can I use mupirocin while taking methadone? ## Hello, Lehigh! How are you? Yes, that should be fine, as long as your doctor approves. The FDA classifies Methadone as an opiate, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Mupirocin is a topical antibiotic and its side effects are usually limited to skin reactions, such as redness, dryness and itching. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have been having gum problems for two years, pain, exposed roots, etc. my dentist would treat me by amoxicillin and antibiotic packs implants along with deep cleaning saying "let's see if this works" I keep asking for a referral to a periodontist but she kept saying we are trying to prevent that but all she is doing is maxing out my yearly coverage (I have great dental plan). I switch dentist and explain to him all that has been done and even brought past records but he didn't want to see them and now He is doing the same thing deep cleaning and antibiotics.

Hello, for a year now, I have been suffering from heavy, thick, white abnormal lotion like discharge that came on after taking augmentin. It never itches or burns, but it is extremely uncomfortable to live with. I am 26 and not sexually active. I am not over weight and eat very healthy. I have been to 9 different gynecologists and had swabs and cultures taken and all come back normal with normal ph (4.0). My latest gyno calls it leukorrhea (excessive, thick, chronic vaginal discharge of unknown origin.) She agrees the discharge is much too heavy (as have all the other gynos i've seen) and wants to put me on low dose birth control pills in the hopes that the low estrogen in the pills will dry this up. I'm afraid of this and would prefer to know other people's experience with ...

My prescription clindamycin has an expiration date of four years from today is that right? 300 mg ## Hello, Luna! How are you? Is it in a regular dispensing bottle from your pharmacy, or was it in the original factory bottle? The original factory sealed bottles have a longer expiration date, but that should change once it has been opened. Did you try asking your pharmacist? ## Thank you for your reply, it is a pharmacy bottle not a manufacture bottle. Why would a pharmacist after opening the manufacture bottle not calculate the life span of the clindamycin? ## Can Clindamycin HCL 300 be used one year past the use by date ## I have a bottle of clindamycin hcl 300 mg dated 1/20/12. My husband could not take them when they were prescribed because they made him sick. I have a severe tooth i...

I was given a 10 prescription of bactrim by my doctor for a sinus infection because I had taken it twice before. Around the third day my tongue started burning so I went back to my doctor and because I suffer from acid reflux my doctor thought thats want was causing the burning of my tongue. Well on the 7th day I took bactrim, about 20 minutes later my stomach, chest, mouth, nose and lips started burning like fire! I haven't taken any more bactrim for the last couple days but still feel the burning but not quite as bad. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? Thanks! ## Hello, Paul! How are you? I'm very sorry about what you've experienced. No, that is not something listed among the typical side effects, as listed by the FDA, they usually include symptoms such as nau...

I was on a 10 day cycle of Doxycycline for a tick bite. I was outside some days and had no problem. Mowed grass on day 7. I had on sunblock also. But my hands tingled when I washed them after mowing. Now 5 weeks later I have these symptoms: Tingling hands and feet, all of my skin burns when touched, tongue and inside of mouth burns, esophagus burns, stomach burns, rash on upper chest and face, if I run my finger across my body it leaves a bright red mark for a few minutes, and if I sit for long my back burns and turns red. Dr. prescribed anti-histamines and corticosteroid cream. Neither seem to help much. ## Hello, Patrick! How are you? It's hard to say whether or not this has had anything to do with the Doxycycline. Its typical side effects, as listed by the FDA, usually include na...

I have an abscess in my jaw that I've taken antibiotics for twice already and it just keeps coming back. I haven't had the money to go get it pulled and this time it feels a little different like it's spreading maybe? My neck underneath where it is is very sensitive going down my neck almost like burning sensation?... What should I take? What kind of antibiotics? ## Hello, Kikii! How are you doing? I'm very sorry about the problem you're having. However, it is going to keep returning, regardless of what antibiotic you take and, if this continues, it could put your life in danger or cause an infection in your heart valves. You really need to see a dentist and have the tooth removed, as soon as possible. Antibiotics are only a temporary fix and they do nothing to recti...

My vet prescribed amoxicillin for my dog, and the pills he gave me are thin, circular white tablets with no imprint what so ever. Are prescription medications for animals not required to have any identifying marks on them? ## That is correct, they aren't required to have markings and come from the same FDA approved sources that human pills come from. The typical canine side effects for antibiotics may possibly include nausea, vomiting, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

I've been taking doxycycline for a little more than a week for an STI. Although it seems that my symptoms from the STI are clearing up I am wondering if I am experiencing adverse reactions from the drug. I seem to have a red rash around my scrotal area. The skin seems red and slightly sensitive but not unbearable. Is this caused by the medication? ## Hello, Ken! How are you? As listed by the FDA, antibiotics can cause non-allergic skin rashes as side effects, or it may have caused a yeast infection. If it isn't itchy and there are no hives involved, it's likely not an allergic reaction, but you should have your doctor look at it, to be sure. Other side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can it help with spider bites? I went to doctor today and they gave me this but I don't see anything about helping with bites? ## Bactrim is an antibiotic for infection.

The FDA lists the typical side effects for this antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Are there any other questions or concerns?
