prescribed by Dr ## what are the side effects of this med and how does it affect birth control ## Ive taken this medication for UTI. This medication caused me alot of health pulmonary complications such as bronchitis, shortness of breathe, coughing, wheezing and fever. ## @deldre, Based on my research, the antibiotic Nitrofurantoin is used to treat various types of infections. BID means it is supposed to be taken twice daily. According to healthtap.com you should use a back-up method of birth control (ie. condom)while taking Nitrofurantoin. Even though there is little evidence supporting a massive increase in pregnancies with antibiotic use, it is better to be safe than sorry. Use the back-up method during the run of your antibiotic and continue for one week Common side effects may incl...

My son is taking this to help get rid of his double ear infection. He doesn't seem to be bouncing back to his normal self as quickly. He is sleeping a lot more and his appetite is really low. Any suggestions?? He is on day 5to out of 10the days and is 20 months... ## Hi Brooke, Based on my research, "excessive tiredness & lack of energy" are listed as severe side effects of Amoxicillin, where it recommends contacting your doctor immediately. Loss of appetite however is a more common side effect that shouldn't involve too much concern in my opinion as long as he is open to eating or drinking something every now and then throughout the day. With that said, it may be best to pay a visit to his doctor in order to confirm that he should continue taking the medication. If ...

can this be taken for infection for a tooth? ## I am out of my doctors area. I have an abcessed tooth. Can I take amox/kclav875/125 ## Amoxicillin with Clavulanic Acid, the generic for Augmentin is an antibiotic and should only been taken if an actual infection has been confirmed present. Taking it when it isn't needed, or if you don't have enough to take a full course of treatment, could cause you to develop antibiotic resistant bacteria. Additionally, if you do have a dental abscess, this will not help with the underlying problem, so you will still need to see a dentist as soon as possible, or the infection will just reoccur. Are there any other questions I can help with? You can learn more Augmentin details here.

WHITE & OBLONG ## Just to add some information to this post, while the information provided isn't enough to identify a pill and verify what it is, I can provide information on the stated antibiotic. Ciprofloxacin is used to treat various bacterial infections, which means it is not effective against the viruses that cause illnesses such as the cold or flu. And it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Are there any questions? Feel free to ask! There are more Ciprofloxacin details available here for anyone needing more information.

YOU TAKE IT FOR ONLY 5 DAYS. YOU START WITH TWO AND THEN TAKE THE REST ## ok ## nothing ## Were you possibly referring to a Z-Pak? It's an antibiotic that is available in a 5 day dosing pack, which contains the active ingredient Azithromycin. Since it is an antibiotic, it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. However, I am not aware of anything at this time that's called a V-Pack, nor have I found any record of there ever being one. There are more Z-Pak details available here for anyone needing more information.
