my son has recently gone to America from India and is 18 years of age. He suffers from tonsil infection very often.So his doctor has prescribed Ceftum 500. now he had the same sore throat with throat pain and nose block. Is it safe to take the medicine in America? people are saying that the same medicine may have adverse effect due to change of weather and environment. is that so? ## Hello, Poppy! How are you? No, it's his body that matters, not the outer environment and it's actually usually safer to take a drug that's approved and available in North America than it is to take one anywhere else, because the U.S. and Canada have much stricter regulations and quality control in place. Ceftum contains the active ingredient Cefuroxime and the side effects listed here are the sa...

Green capsule with powder form inside. In a baggie with omoxicilyn ## Hi, Christy! How are you? If there are no markings, then we can rule it out as being a U.S. prescription product, because they are all required to have imprints to enable their identification. That means that it's either an over the counter product, which is the most likely choice, or it could be a foreign medication. I'm assuming that you meant the other was the antibiotic Amoxicillin? Learn more Amoxicillin details here. Was it of U.S. origin?

isamox-clav 875 mg suitable for treating abcessed tooth? ## This is a generic for the antibiotic Augmentin, it can be used to treat various types of infections. It may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Learn more Augmentin details here. However, you shouldn't take it, unless your doctor or dentist has confirmed the presence of an infection and prescribed it to treat it. Doing otherwise creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. Additionally, there has to be some underlying cause for a tooth to abscess, such as a deep cary and that must be corrected by your dentist, or the infection will just keep recurring. Is there anything else I can help with?

Those sound like the symptoms of a yeast infection and, if that is the case, no this is not the correct medication. One of the ingredients in this medication is Norfloxacin, which is an antibiotic and it can actually cause or worsen a yeast infection. Learn more Norfloxacin details here. Have you consulted your doctor? A yeast infection is fungal in nature and will require an antifungal medication by itself, without the addition of an antibiotic.

IS THIS FOR AN EYE INFECTION ## Hello, Maria! How are you? Ampitrexyl is actually an over the counter natural product that's claimed to treat bacterial infections, but as with other supplement/herbal products, this hasn't actually been proven. If you do have an infection, it would be best to see your doctor for a proper antibiotic and not rely on this one. Infections left untreated can become systemic and life threatening. Are there any other questions?

My doctor gave me a perscription for ciprofloxin for a uti. I am on gildess fe 1/20 birth control and i am afraid the cipro will make my birth control less effective. I have been seeing mixed reviews so i need help please! ## Hi, Mandy! How are you? Yes, there is a chance that it could alter the efficacy of your contraceptive. This antibiotic can sometimes cause your liver to not process/absorb as much of the estrogen in them, which makes them less effective at preventing pregnancy. Learn more Cipro details here. Thus, it is best to use a backup form of protection while you are taking it and for 7 days afterwards. Is there anything else I can help with?

can you have a beer while taking these tablets ## Hi, Bruce! How are you? It is best to abstain from alcohol, when taking any prescription medication. However, if your doctor says it is safe for you to have a drink or two, on occasion, or if you chose to do so anyway, you should be aware that it can cause worsening of the side effects. Thus, you may experience more nausea, dizziness and drowsiness than usual, this effect will basically make one drink affect as if you'd had two and so on. Learn more Bactrim details here. So please, for your own safety, make sure that you aren't driving or operating any heavy machinery. Is there anything else I can help with?

How long does terramicina take effect on a stye??? ## Hi mike, From what I've read, this medication can be used for eye infections. However, I do believe there is a separate US brand of Terramycin "eye ointment" that is specifically geared towards these types of infections. As to how long it works, Terramycin has an estimated half life of 6 to 8 hours; after which, it's effects can begin to dwindle. There are also a couple of other alternative treatment options for stye's that are thought to work just as well or better. One simple approach that is suggested, is to take a clean wash cloth and soak it in vinegar or water as hot as you can stand. Then press the wash cloth against the stye, holding it there until it cools. Some people recommend doing this several times d...

what medicine I can take for pain if I am taking sulfameth trimethoprim ... please answer fast this pain is killing me ## Hi javier, Based on my research, sulfamethoxazole + trimethoprim does not list any drug interactions between it and various pain medications (such as oxycodone, opana, norco, etc). So in my opinion you should be just fine taking a narcotic along with the antibiotic. However, you should always consult with your doctor first before making any kind of adjustments to your current regimen. I hope this helps!
