Im have been taking clavamel forte 500mg/125mg twice daily for the last few days. Yesterday I was playing sports and noticed my hamstrings were extremely tight. I eventually had to stop after 10 minutes. Would this be an effect of clavamel? ## Hi, Robbie! Sorry about the problem you've been having. In some rare cases an antibiotic can cause tendon problems and you should contact your doctor immediately to have this checked out. It just isn't something you want to risk, having a tendon rupture or suffer permanent damage could cause many problems down the road. Learn more Clavamel Forte details here. Have you had any other symptoms?

can alcahol be used while takingSMZITMP DS 800-160 ## Hi Tom, It's actually NOT recommended that you have any alcohol while you are taking Trimethoprim. Reason being is that the interaction can increase your risk of certain side effects such as rapid heartbeats, increased body temperature under the skin, nausea, and vomiting. If you want avoid those risks, it may just be best to play it safe and wait it out through the duration your treatment. I hope this helps!

Have oral Amoxicillin that was my son's. Can I take it. ## HI, Annette! How are you? Why do you want to take it? You really didn't provide enough details for anyone to be able to answer your question and there are several issues at play. Has the presence of an infection been confirmed by your doctor? Because Amoxicillin is an antibiotic that will only treat bacterial infections. Learn more Amoxicillin details here. Additionally, if it's what's leftover from your son's prescription, you may not have enough to complete a full course of treatment, which creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistance bacteria. That's why you're always supposed to finish all of the antibiotic that you've been prescribed, to ensure that the bacteria is fully eradicat...

I didn't have my medication on me for a day and a half. I was supposed to be taking one pill, two times a day. If I restart taking my medicine is it still going to give me the same results, ridding me of my UTI? ## Hi, Aly! How are you? There's a good chance that you'll need a new prescription to make sure that you eradicate the bacteria that has caused the infection. The antibiotic needs to be maintained in your body at a fairly steady level for the required period of time to properly do its work, any break can usually allow the bacteria to reproliferate. Learn more Nitrofurantoin details here. You'll need to call your doctor to see what they say, they may allow you to just continue and finish. The decision may depend on your symptoms.

Please, is the amox tr-k clv 875-125 mg tab allowed to take with b-complex 50mg without possible interaction? I have been taking b-complex for about 2 months. Then, some red rash developed at the lower part of my one leg from about below knee to about above ankle. The rash area is somewhat hot and painful. The amox appears to be applicable since the rash appears to be or is suspected to be bacterial nature. ## Has your doctor diagnosed the rash as being bacterial and prescribed the antibiotic? I'm asking due to the concerns caused by improper usage of antibiotics. If it's not a bacterial infection, then using an antibiotic creates the risk of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. The same risk is present if you don't have enough of the antibiotic to finish a full course ...

I'm in afghanistan working on a project and can't make it home for another 3 weeks. My crowned tooth has become infected and has my jaw swollen. I have taken 3 doses of doxycycline and waiting to take my 4th dose (Every 12 hrs). I have yet to see improvement and the pain can be immense. I have to take (4) 200 mg ibuprofen every 4 to 6 hours to ease the pain. I rinse with salt water and peroxide on a continual basis. When can I expect to see results? Medication is limited and I'm trying to wait until I'm able to go home to see the dentist. As soon as I step off the plane, I'm heading straight to the dentist. Please advise. ## Hi, Chuck!

I take 4 Amoxicillin 500 MG one hour before going to the dentist, is this still necessary? ## Hi, Iris! How are you? I understand why you're asking, many people are never really told why this is necessary. In the case of some heart conditions, a possible poke from one of the dentists implements creates the risk of your developing an infection which could grow into something bigger that sets into one or more heart valves. So really, it's much safer and easier to take the antibiotics before going, rather than end up having to have heart surgery to replace infected valves. :-) Learn more Amoxicillin details here.

Sorry about the problem that you're having.
