Flu? reaction to prescription, concercend husband! ## It could be either or, but I'd be giving strong suspicion to the Bactrim, if it were me.

If You have a sinus infection can drops be used in nose ## Since it's not formulated to be used in the nasal cavity, I wouldn't suggest doing so, when you do that, you do end up swallowing some of the substance you squirt/spray in and there may be an inactive ingredient in this that shouldn't be ingested. Learn more sinusitis details here. For a sinus infection, you should see your doctor for an appropriate antibiotic. How long have you been having the symptoms of it?

That would be enough to almost do a complete course, which would usually be 2 a day for 10 days, so 20 tablets, but you shouldn't take them unless a doctor has told you to and the presence of an infection has been confirmed.

Hi, can i use prednisone after i used ic ciprofloxacin hcl 500 mg for 10 days? ## My findings state that there are potentially unsafe interactions between these two drugs. So as long as you're not taking the two drugs together, then in my opinion you should be fine.

This may be more likely to occur in older adults over 60 years of age or those who have received a kidney, heart, and/or lung transplant. Tendon rupture can occur during or up to several months after finishing ciprofloxacin treatment and may require surgery or result in prolonged disability. Talk with your doctor before using these medications together. Stop ta...

If I want to take a few drinks while on this medication, should I skip a dose just this one time? I have a wedding to go to. I was given this medication to treat pneumonia. ## Amoxicillin with Clavulanic Acid, the active ingredients in Augmentin, is an antibiotic. And drinking while taking it may cause worsening of the side effects, such as nausea, dizziness and drowsiness. The way I usually explain it is by saying consider one drink to be the same as having 2 and so on. No you shouldn't skip a dose, but you do need to be careful and let someone else do the driving.

Can I use ibilex 500 as antibiotic for bee or wasp sting. Swallen foot ## Hi jimmy, It sounds like you are having an allergic reaction to the sting. An antibiotic probably won't work unless there is an infection. Have you tried applying calamine lotion or any antihistamine creams? If you're interested in a natural alternative, applying calendula cream to the stung area may be able to reduce swelling and itching. Calendula also has antiseptic properties, so it could possibly help to prevent an infection. I hope this helps!

Was prescribed sulfameth/trimethoprim 800/160 for infection in thumb. Was to take it for 10 days but on 8 day developed an itchy rash - should I continue to take it. I am not allergic to any medications. Can I take benadryl to help? ## No, once you get the itchy rash from this it means that most likely you are allergic to it and things will only get worse if you continue taking it and there is the risk of your developing much more dangerous reactions. Learn more Bactrim details here. Benadryl may help in the meantime, until it starts to clear up, if it's safe for you to take it. But you also need to contact your doctor and let them know, they may wish to prescribe an alternative antibiotic. Learn more Benadryl details here. I had this happen to me early in 2012, I developed the rash...

I've been taking this drug 2x a day, since 6/1/2011. It was prescribed to treat an infection,of the prostate or lower organ, not sure. Since starting on med, I initially realized a change in how I felt. Glands in my neck shoulders and,up through my head felt sore. I felt giddy or antsy! My fist night on taking drug, I felt uneasy and,only slept a few hours! Next, I felt chills and then started experiencing serious intermitent acheing pain, mostly in my left arm and deltoid muscle shoulder! Since starting on the med, I've had episodes of heavy sleep, chills, waking up in the morning bed clothes soaked, T-shirt and pillow from a fever or chills!I've got about another few days of pills before I use them up! My history is heart problems. Heat attack diagnosed at age 32. Right co...

Taken sulfameth trimethoprim 800/160 tabs started 3 days ago went to ER my hands & arms small bumps as if a insect bite had some sting. While there they gave me a shot of Bactrim DS 800/160. And taken the pill form. My question why am I still itching? And I take Rx on time ## What did the ER doctor say caused the bumps and itching? Bactrim is an antibiotic and it is commonly used to prevent or treat infections. However, if the bumps, stinging and itching were caused by an allergic reaction to something, then this will not treat that. In addition, it can cause a non-allergic skin rash as a side effect. ## I just came from the Dr regarding the Sulfameth. .took it 3 days ago and i got all these tiny bumps all over me!! my skin got blotchy.. I asked pharmacist he said its nothing to wor...

I can only speculate here, but perhaps the moon logo you're describing is simply a W? This is identified as Levofloxacin 750 mg; a broad spectrum antibiotic of the fluoroquinolone drug class.

Is there an interaction between sulfameth/trimethoprim 800/160 tabs and methotrexate 25mg/ml inj, 2ml mdv ## My findings state that there are potentially unsafe interactions between these two drugs.

This can cause pale skin, easy bruising or bleeding, unusual weakness, mouth sores, nausea, vomiting, black or bloody stools, and urinating less than usual or not at all. If you take both medications together, tell your doctor if you have any of these symptoms. You may need a dose adjustment or special test to safely take both medications.
