I am concerned about starting Keflex because I just finished taking Amoxicillin. Will this be ok? ## Did you find out if it was okay to start taking this? On the drug info page it says to let your doctor know if you are taking any other antibiotics while taking keflex. But technically if you already stopped taking the amoxicililn then you might be safe to take keflex. Sometimes you might be prescribed a different antibiotic so that the bacteria don't build a tolerance in your body to the original one you were on. But it is definitely best to triple check with your doctor about this.

have to take doxycycline hycl 100mg cap blue oblong tablet says mutual 105 on it. Was paying 10$ for 90 then it went up to 50$ now they are charging 299$ suddenly. Isn't mutual 105 generic? Is this pricing right or am I getting robbed? ## Have you asked the pharmacy about it? It is normal for prices to fluctuate, a lot of it depends on what their supplier is getting it for, as well as your location and etc. There are also some cases where they may have a certain medication under contract, so they can offer it for a very cheap price for a certain period of time. This is often true of medications that are on $4 and $10 lists. Then once that contractual agreement has run out, they have to charge more. For example, Walgreens does this with their program, you pay to join it, but then you...

I was prescribed this antibiotic & Docycycline Hyclate 100mg cap 3days ago for my eczema which got infected (because I was scratching). On the 2nd day I have been taking both meds (BID every 12 hrs for both), I noticed that I developed rash & what looks like hives on my neck. Today, my upper chest has some kind of prickly heat rash like a baby's bum.
