can i take calcium 600mg, 300 mg magnesium with 625mg amoxicillin ## Calcium can sometimes affect the absorption of certain antibiotics. I haven't been able to find anything specific on Amoxicillin, but I'd suggest separating them by several hours to be safe and you should also double check this with your doctor or pharmacist, just in case I'm on the wrong track. Learn more Amoxicillin details here. Is there anything else I can help with?

you feel drowsy, you can't avoid to sleep ## From what I could gather, Taxim-O is a brand of Cefixime. This medication may cause the following side effects: upset stomach diarrhea vomiting mild skin rash headache itching hives difficulty breathing or swallowing wheezing vaginal infection I haven't found anything specifically relating to sleep problems or feeling drowsy, but if you sense that this side effect is becoming too bothersome or severe, I would definitely recommend contacting your doctor as soon as possible to see about other possible alternatives to Taxim-O. I hope this helps!

My friend just recently found out she has ghonorea. A close friend gave her the RX692 capsule. She doesnt like hospitals so can she take it. ## Hi, Niko! If she doesn't like hospitals/doctors, how does she know it's gonorrhea? While it may be a possibility, there are also several other possibilities and only a doctor that does an exam and testing is going to be able to give her a definitive diagnosis and provide the proper treatment. And if she only has one capsule, or a couple that were left overs from someone else's prescription, she isn't going to have enough to clear up such a dangerous infection. This is a 150mg Clindamycin capsule and it's not usually used to treat gonorrhea, unless it's the injectable form. Learn more Clindamycin details here.

Meaning he said its a greater risk not to take it than to takeit....im kinda nervous about it but i know im in great hands. Has anyone else took this while pregnant???? ## That's not actually what they category means. Pregnancy category C means that it isn't known whether or not there is any risk to the baby, because studies haven't been done and they haven't been able to gather enough real world information on it. Yes, not treating an infection would be a greater risk, but there are other antibiotic choices that are considered safe for use during pregnancy. Learn more Bactrim details here.

I had it in about the same spot 4 to 5 yrs ago and it has apperared again in the same general area.Need to knowasap thanks. ## Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim, the active ingredients in Bactrim, is an antibiotic that's used to treat various types of infections. However, if you just have leftovers from a prior prescription, then you likely won't have enough to finish a full course of treatment and will need to see your doctor for a new prescription, otherwise you run the risk of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. It may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. However, if you develop hives you should see...

I've been prescribed sulfameth/trimethoprim 800/160 for a suspected bacterial infection along with ibuprofen 800 for pain. I take them with meals twice a day, except for the ibuprofen. I only take that when the pain is unbearable. I'm experiencing side effects such as cramping, upset stomach and diarrhea. ..as expected. Should I take pepto bismol to help with the belly issues? Also, my family and I have noticed that I have become very grumpy since I started the meds. Is this a cause of the meds or simply from dealing with the pain? Side note- the issue for treatment is testicular pain, which makes me sick to my stomach by itself. ## Hi, Bo! Very sorry that you're so miserable, that's terrible! And my guess is that the medication is most likely contributing. Since it is s...

Very sorry to read about the problem you had with this medication. Since it's a sulfa based antibiotic, it is actually fairly common for such things to occur. Approximately 3% of the population ends up being allergic to it. I am, however, very glad that you were able to get to urgent care so fast to get proper treatment. How are you feeling now?

I woke up this morning with a skin rash on my arms, stomach, and thighs. So far I have taken 5 sulfamethoxazole tmp ds tablets. One pill twice a day. I know rash is a side effect. I have one pill remaining, is it ok to take the last pill ## Not being your doctor, I cannot tell you if it is ok to take the pill(s) or not. However my opinion is if this is your last pill, you should finish taking it as prescribed by your doctor; unless the side effects become more severe or if your complication has been taken care of already by the medication. Based on your description of the rash it sounds like it is severe, but it is really up to you if you feel the need to contact your doctor for advice. Again, your decision should probably be based on whether or not the side effects are too much for you...

I am searching for a dentist, however in the meantime I addled my doctor to prescribe penicillin for a very painful broken tooth. The dentist had previously prescribed me 500mg worth 1000 as the initial dose. My doctor prescribed 250mg and after 3 days it is not working. My question is, can I double up the 250mg to make 500mg? working.My quotation is can I double up the 250mg to make a 500mg? My doctor doesn't usually prescribe penicillin therefore ## An antibiotic will only help if the pain is due to an infection and, in this case, that may not be what's causing it. It could just be due to the broken tooth being sensitive and that isn't going to resolve, regardless of how much antibiotic you take, until you see a dentist to have the tooth fixed. Is it aching constantly, or ...
