Hi, can Purbac dbl strenght worsen my flu? This is the second time I am using it for flu and it seems to worsen all my symptoms- is it possible that my body has become amune to it? ## Hello, Roach! How are you? Well, first of all, Purbac is an antibiotic, which only works to treat bacterial infections. However, the flu is caused by a virus, so you shouldn't be taking this medication to treat your symptoms, because it isn't going to do anything……except cause those side effects that are making you feel worse. Learn more Purbac details here. Taking an antibiotic inappropriately creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistance bacteria, which could have serious health consequences in the future.

I have a yeast infection and u unary tract infection Can I use this drug for both ? ## Hi, Kisha! Sorry about the health issues, I hope they clear up soon. And no, this is an antibiotic that treats bacterial infections, so it will not treat a yeast infection. These medications can actually cause them by killing off the beneficial bacteria in our bodies. Learn more Bactrim details here. And it may not be the right medication to clear up your urinary tract infection, or you may not have enough if you only have leftovers from a prior infection. You should see your doctor for a proper diagnoses and antibiotic, if needed.

IS OVRAL G STOP 100% PREVENT PREGNANCY ? ## Nothing is 100%, 98% w/proper use which means you must take at same time every day, never miss a pill or that can raise your risk for pregnancy and certain antibiotics and medications can make the pill ineffective so if you take as instructed and are careful than you should be ok, but why not add a condom if you are this scared of pregnancy? I have a darling son conceived on birth control, 25 years later, I couldn't tell you why, but I was married and he had been a most treasured blessing. Use the internet to educate yourselves, you can google ANYTHING. Good Luck! ## They are over 99% effective, if taken properly, but as was already stated, there is no 100% prevention method. You have to take them every day, around the same time, without m...

Can i take amox clav for dogs to treat my tooth ache its hard to get to hospital. ## Hello, Travis! Sorry about the toothache. You're going to have to see a dentist. There are some medications that are made for canines, which aren't manufactured to human standards, so it may not be safe for you to take, additionally, if you don't have enough to finish a full course of treatment, it creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. And while an antibiotic can help with the infection, it will not fix the underlying cause of the infection, such as a deep dental cary, so it will just keep returning, until you see your dentist and have it corrected. Is there anything else I can help with?

my Dr just gave me a prescription for amoxicillin two 500 milligram pills every 12 hours that equals out to 2000 milligrams of amoxicillin a day for strep throat for 10 days. My throat is also very swollen I just thought that seems excessive though. ## Hello, Clueless! How are you feeling? That is pretty high, but it does have to be adjusted for the severity of the infection and there are occasions where 1gram or 2grams a day may be necessary. Learn more Amoxicillin details here. Double check with your doctor to be certain, but it might be an appropriate amount for this with as bad as you said it was. The side effects will likely be more severe and can include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Are there any other questions or concerns?

Hi i went to the clinic next to were i stay,and i explain my problem to the nurse that my virgina is itching then the nurse just gave me a tablet which is written fixime 400g,but she did not explain to me how it works. can you please assist me on that. ## Fixime contains the active ingredient Cefixime, which is an antibiotic that's used to treat bacterial infections. Learn more Fixime details here. The problem I'm seeing, however, is that if she didn't do an exam, then this might not be the right medication to help you. Vaginal itching is usually caused by a yeast infection and that requires an antifungal medication. Taking an antibiotic like Fixime could just make it worse, because they can actually cause yeast infections. Did she do an exam or anything?

Can you use it after it's expiration date? ## Hello, Cin! How are you? Medications tend to lose effectiveness over time and the problem that creates with an antibiotic is that it may not be quite strong enough to eradicate the bacteria that's caused an infection, which means that they are actually given the opportunity to develop resistance to the antibiotic and that has the potential to create serious health problems for you. It really is best to see your doctor for a new prescription. Learn more Ciprofloxacin details here. Antibiotics may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Can doxycycline hyclate 100mg cause depression (because of the bad effect on the stomach). I was on it for a while (large dose) until my gut could no longer take it. I went off of it (for a UTI), when I felt better. I went back on it. From that point on I have had problems. Recently I was prescribed it for another UTI. I bravely took it & before the fourth dose my gut just plain went crazy. I cannot get a good feeling between my head & gut. I had all kinds of GI exams, all came out well for an 80 year old. I'm a hurting! ## The depression is most likely a combination of everything, not just due to the antibiotic. As to the GI issues, this antibiotic can be pretty rough on the stomach and generally, people over 65 are much more sensitive to medications and their side effects....
