Following breast cancer, severe infection @ mastectomy site, 3 celulitis infectiions, all within 11 months, my Infectious Disease doctor prescribed 500mg tab of Cefuroxime. Have been taking this for 10 years. Is this ok? This was after heavy duty IV antibiotics in hospital & @ home. I haven't had any kind of infection since then. Any side effects to this? ## Hello, Eileen! How are you? Yes, this is often done, if someone has had severe problems with infections, or is particular prone to them. You should continue it, as long as your doctor deems is necessary. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

my tooth was decayed and I was in some pain. I visited a local dentist who suggested me to go for a root canal. He asked me when I can start the treatment and gave me Mox 500mg yellow capsules and some pain killer. The dentist is a young doctor who seems to be competent but I would like to know whether for what purpose this Mox 500mg is for. I am slight confused as I have read some comments about it. Does it help to prevent the tooth from further decay. ## This contains the active ingredient Amoxicillin, which is an antibiotic and it's used to treat various types of infections. Learn more Amoxicillin details here. Basically, when you have a tooth that has gotten bad enough to require a root canal, it has an infection in it, so an antibiotic has to be used to eradicate the infection....

I'vI've had recurrent UTI infections on and off for the past 30 years. Levofloxacin saved me from the torture once I got a prescription over 15 y.o ago. If the infection is not severe I take 250 mg for 3 days and that does the trick. It works amazingly fast snd usually after the first dose I feel an instant relief from suffering of urinary infections. Very rarely I had to go through a week routine of 500 mg. Never had any problems. No tendon ruptures or other side effects and I'm a still active former ballet dancer who takes strenous classes 4-5 times a week. ## Awesome! I"m so glad that's it worked so well for you. Have you experienced any of the typical side effects that the FDA lists, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea or non-allergic skin rash? Has you...

I have bactrim that expired 4 months ago is it safe to take ## Hello, Jean! How are you? Yes, all medications start to lose efficacy once past their expiration date and may not work as well as they did, when new. The issue this creates with antibiotics, such as Bactrim, is that it may no longer properly eradicate the bacteria, which could cause it to become drug resistant. Learn more Bactrim details here. It would really be best to see your doctor for a new prescription, if you suspect that you have an infection. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hello I have some antibiotics that has expired last month on the third is it safe to use them

Is there anything that works naturally as antibiotic ; such as a leaf or something, in case things get bad!!!! ## Yes frederick there are plenty of natural antibiotics and with a bit of searching you might just find something to supplement your existing diet. Of course i am not saying to stop the meds that a doctor has put you on, but look into a few things like oil of oregano, other probiotics such as yogurt or culturelle supplement, etc. And there are tons of other essential oils with antiseptic properties. Does this help at all?

I'm suppose to take this medicine for 3 days twice a day. Is that enough time to clear up my UTI?? ## Hi diamond, According to Wiki, the usual adult dose of nitrofurantoin for a urinary tract infection can be 100 mg two times daily, or 50 mg four times daily for seven days. However, in less severe cases, the dosage can actually be prescribed for as little as 3 days. That should be plenty of time to clear up a UTI if it really is acute. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Nitrofurantoin Details I hope this info helps! ## can a 63 lbs dog take 100mg cap of nitrofurantn ## Can you take azothromycin and nitrofuranton at the same time

Six days ago I had hip replacement surgery. I was given three bags of antibiotics by IV. How long does it remain in my body before being excreted? ## Hello, Joan! How are you?

How long does Macrobid remain in your body after you stop taking it? It's causing itching after three days of use. ## Hello, Sam! How are you? Did you experience any other allergic reactions, such as a skin rash, swelling, or trouble breathing that the FDA lists? It may take a week, or so, before things settle back down and the reaction goes away. Have you consulted your doctor? If you need an antibiotic, then you most likely need to switch to a different one.

Taking penicillin 3 times a day ## Hello, Lorena! How are you? The key, according to the NIH, is to keep it in your system, at a steady level, but it doesn't have to be exactly precise. Thus, there is no need to set your alarm and take one in the middle of the night. One in the morning, when you get up should be fine, then one later in the day and the other at bedtime, unless your doctor states otherwise.
