was told when a kid,that im allergic to pennacilan.does anyone ever outgrow this condition? also-are there typical symptoms of pennacilan ingestion by someone who is allergic to it? ## Hello, William! How are you? Yes, people can sometimes 'outgrow' allergies, or even develop new ones. However, don't just randomly try some Penicillin to find out, it's likely best if you just stay away from it. It is an antibiotic that requires a prescription, so it's not like you're going to just randomly run into. You're doctor would have to diagnose you with an infection and tell you that need an antibiotic.

My mother was given nitro furmac as result of several UTI infections year after year. Thinking the UTI was worsening and meds weren't working just yet, we didn't realize what was happening.

However I'm glad to hear that you were still able to pinpoint the problem none the less. May I ask how long she's been...

Ip 272. Is a generic for Bactrim DS. Treats all symptoms listed from other comments. The one thing everyone forgot to mention is that it also treats moderate to severe acne and cystic acne. Amazing how my skin cleared up since I have been using the drug. Remember to take In morning and night, preferably with food if you have a sensitive stomach, and plenty of water. I noticed after taking the drug for awhile that I did have joint pain, but other than that it works amazing.. ## @Fiat, It may help with acne as an off-label use, but the only problem I see that could stem from long term use is that, without having an actual infection to treat, this could create antibiotic resistance to the point where if you did have an infection it may end up becoming much more difficult to eradicate than ...

Can this salve be used on your lips? ## Hello, Henry! How are you? This is an antibiotic ointment, so it should only be used if you have a topical skin infection as diagnosed and directed by your doctor. I'd say to stay away from using it on your lips, unless your doctors says it is safe to do so, since it's not formulated for such use and may be dangerous to ingest. Are there any other questions or concerns?

This medication may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, diarrhea and non-allergic skin rash. Is there anything else I can help with?
