I am taking this medication for a UTI. I have been on it for a day and a half. This morning I was suddenly wakened by a loud sound in my ears (sounded like birds chirping), and a stinging pain across my face, down my spine into my arms and legs - worse on my left side than on my right. I sat up and walked around and it finally subsided, although it was hard to walk at first. It felt like my muscles didn't want to respond. I laid back down, as I was very tired, and in about a half hour it happened again, only worse. I am now up and looking for answers. Could this be from the nitrofurantoin? ## Hi, Sally! I'm not sure, it's hard to say. Some people have experienced some very odd side effects from antibiotics, it's happened to me, so I have to say that it is possible. What ...

Can Clindamycin cause mild hot flashes, and feeling of sweating? I looked at side effect list and it is not listed. ## Hello, Bec! How are you? Yes, it's normal for most medications to cause those types of symptoms and very commonly reported. The FDA lists the other side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

I took some clindamycin about 5 hours ago on an empty stomach and got nauseous. I ate a very small amount of food and then drank some moringa tea. Is the two able to mixed? Will i have some bogus side effect??? Help me please!! Im scared because now my stomach is hurting. ## Clindaymycin is an antibiotic that is used to treat various types of bacterial infections, and the FDA does warn that it may cause nausea, and stomach pain as side effects, along with dizziness, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. Ref: Clindamycin Information As to the tea, it has not been evaluated for potential interactions with prescription medications, so I am unable to find any information on that for you. Have you discussed this with your doctor? Are you on any other medications?

This was prescribed for our dog. He has had hip surgery as well as treating eye infections. He's a Westie and has lots of health issues. I found these in a baggie with his name on it. ## Hello Pepper, I believe what you have there is a Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (also known as a MAO-I) which was previously the commonly used drug for use in dogs for the treatment of canine cognitive dysfunction and pituitary-dependent Cushing’s disease. This drug is FDA approved but not regularly used anymore due to the discovery that it has adverse effects with multiple common dog foods and other various drugs given to dogs. I'm not sure if your dog has any of the above listed diseased but this is what the drug was intended to be used for. It may be that they were given in conjunction wi...

I stopped using injection for prevention 2 months back and I haven't seen my periods since I stopped. A few days back I took Anaerobyl 400mg for a smelly discharge and vaginal rash. Now I am wondering if it's possible that I could be pregnant? Also, ever since I took the pills I've had diarrhea. What should I do? ## Diarrhea can be a normal side effect of antibiotics, as reported by the U.S. FDA, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and non-allergic skin rash. Things should improve in a week or so, after finishing your course of treatment. As to your period, it may take a few months for your body to balance your hormones back out on its own, so things return to normal. The antibiotic can also delay your period. Are you on any other medications? ## Can Anaerob...

I have been using Cefadroxil as treatment for a staph infection in my hip replacement joint for a year. Is this medication dangerous for my body? Previously, I've had a 6-week course of Cefazolin administered through a PICC line. I am trying to understand the potential dangers this could pose to my health. ## The risks caused by the infection are far greater than any risk associated with the antibiotics used to combat it, severe out of control infections can be deadly. It would be best to take it as prescribed by your doctor. Ref: Antibiotic Information Are you on any other medications? Has there been any improvement of your infection?

I have been on this medication for three days and I am experiencing the worst stomach pains. Has anyone else ever experience this? ## Stomach cramps is a side effect of this RX but its a less common side effect. I have a few stomach cramps but I find that it goes away if you snack on something before and right after you take it. It works for me when I have cramps. You may want to try it. =) ## Yes, you should definitely try to avoid taking this on an empty stomach, like Kristina suggested. But the FDA does list the common side effects of Doxycycline as possibly including nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.

I take some Alaxan FR and Amoxicillin when I am at my first weeks of pregnancy, is there any effect for my baby? Could someone help me what to do? ## Alaxan FR is reported to contain Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen [1]. Acetaminophen is generally considered safe to take during your entire pregnancy. Ibuprofen should be taken with caution and avoided in the third trimester [2]. Diclofenac is also an NSAID like Ibuprofen and should be avoided in your third trimester as well [3]. Since you are talking about multiple NSAID drugs, you should definitely work with your doctor to ensure that any medications you are taking fall within safe levels during your pregnancy. Best wishes!

3 days on a sulfur drug and I can't sleep and have difficulty urinating since taking it. I quit after 5 days, but it is still hard to sleep and I still have a problem urinating which were both ok before taking this drug. It was prescribed to cure a sore beneath my nose caused by pneumonia and excessive nose blowing, which was cured by a prescription ointment. ## What medication was it? Was it an antibiotic containing Sulfamethoxazole, and Trimethoprim? It can sometimes cause side effects like you've described, as well as nausea, dizziness, headache, and non-allergic skin rash. Ref: Bactrim Information Typically, the go away a few days after finishing your course of treatment, but if they do not, you should consult your doctor.
