Does keflex have sulfa in it? ## Hello, Susan! How are you?

If so, which one did you have a reaction to? Not all are the same.

Just finished 500mg amoxicyillin for tooth infection. It's still here, but now also have a UTI. Prescribed macrobid 100mg. I'm now concerned that I have a major infection brewing. Will this help? ## Help, Mich! How are you? It is most commonly used to treat UTIs. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. There's a chance that some bacteria just traveled through your digestive tract from your mouth to your bladder, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a major infection. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you for the prompt reply! Yes, I think some of the bacteria did travel. I guess what concerned me is that I got the UTI while already taking an antibiotic. I just hope that the macrobid will do the job for all of ...

Does this medicine cause buzzing in the ear? ## Hello, Gail! How are you? No, this antibiotic hasn't been known to cause that from what I've found, but it's difficult to say how a medication may affect any given person that takes it. Its most common side effects include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. What are you taking it to treat?

Odor not usual to normal odor..not much discharge, but there is a fishy smell coming when I am naked down in vaginal Area ## Hi Carealot! Have you been to a doctor and have you been diagnosed with an STI? You need to contact your doctor and get tested. If you do have an STI then your doctor can give you the proper antibiotic. ## @carealot, Sorry to hear about your situation... But Cats is right that your doctor should be able to prescribe you the appropriate antibiotic based on their diagnosis and a closer evaluation. However, I am finding from my own research that certain antibiotics such as (Azithromycin or Doxycycline) are what's commonly recommended by doctors for treating chlamydia. I hope this helps answer your question!

What are the side effects or problems when using alcohol and dairy products with Amox Tr-K Clv 500-125 mg tabs? ## Hi Robert, Based on my research, there are no drug interactions listed between amoxicillin clavulanate potassium and the use of alcohol or dairy products. So in that regard you should be fine taking the two together in moderation. However, it is equally important to know that these types of drugs can effect each person differently, whereas potential side effects may still arise just from using the medication in and of itself. If you don't know how your body reacts to the combination alcohol and antibiotics, it may be wise to lessen your consumption of it for the duration of your treatment. Sometimes the use of alcohol can increase the drowsiness that is often associated...

I am getting loose motions every 2/3 days have taken immodium but it has not helped,I do not get pain in the stomach,no blood in the stool,can I take loom fen,how many per day ## Hello, Dhiren! How are you? No, Lomofen is actually an antibiotic, so it can cause diarrhea as side effect. What type of foods do you eat? If it's only occurring every few days, then there's likely something you're ingesting regularly that's causing it.

I have an infection. I was wondering if (4) 500mg capsules can be taken at once. I remember being prescribed the same dosage of another antibiotic and was instructed to do all at once. It was a chalky metallic tasting pill cant remember the name of it. ## Hello, Curious Cat! How are you? What type of infection? Has it been confirmed by your doctor? A high dosage at once isn't actually harmful, but when it comes to this antibiotic, it is not going to effectively eradicate the infection. It needs to be taken at regular intervals, throughout the day, for the full dosing period. Side effects to this antibiotic may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

I have a sinus infection and want to know if these are still safe to take ## Hello, Ang673! How are you? They don't become dangerous, once expired, but they do begin to lose effectiveness, so they may not properly eradicate an infection, that coupled with the fact that you may not have enough to complete a full course of treatment creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. Thus, it would be best to see your doctor for a new prescription. Side effects to this medication may include nausea, dizziness, non-alelrgic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## No and thank u for replying...i did have enough, it was a full script and I did end up taking them because I needed something at the moment for my infection. It helped infection is gon...

I was prescribed this following eyelid surgery. I apply to stitches 3 times per day for 10 days. I developed blisters on the lower stitches under lower eyelashes. What are allergic reactions to this ointment ? ## Hello, Gabi! How are you? An allergic reaction would occur everywhere you apply it, not just in one spot. Have you consulted your surgeon? That sounds like you may have something else going on. What do the blisters look like?

I am a 63 year old woman. I had a torn cuticle on my 4th toe and did get a small leech, (from a local lake) at that site on my toe. About 2 weeks later that toe became infected and there was a red line going from my toe up to my ankle. After going to an emergency clinic, I was prescribed 10 days of Amoxicillin. The infected toe began to look better and the red line was going away until around the 8th day of treatment. It became very itchy and I did scratch it quite a bit. Now the red line is very wide, goes up past my ankle and I have blotches on my shin---it is all raised, swollen, patchy and very itchy. Today I went to a local clinic and the doctor prescribed ciprofloxacn, and has given me a strong cortisone cream to apply topically. I am very concerned that he is just grabbing at str...

I am so scared to take this antibiotic . Have any of you cut the dose smaller and then gradually worked it up to what it was suppose to be..

I have just been prescribed Bactrim DS and have taken half doses to start with. Taking medication is stressful if you have fear of reactions like I do. Hope you feeling ok. Tanya ## Hello, Katie and Tanya! How are you both? No, it will not work as well if you only take half the dosage. You need to take the full tablet, just as prescribed, in order for it to properly eradicate the bacteria. It may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.
