I am taking Eryko-250, I am also taking Oralcon contraceptive pills. I have been told that antibiotocs cancel out the function of the pill, is this true? Will my pill still work? ## Eryko contains the active ingredient Erythromycin and yes, it can reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives. Learn more Erythromycin details here. Thus, while you are under treatment with it, it is best to use some other back up form of contraceptive, such as condoms, until you have finished your course of treatment with it and taken the active birth control tablets again for a full 7 days. Are there any other questions or comments? ## No that's all I needed to know. Thank you for your feedback!

Hi there. I've been taking 200mg Trimethoprim for 9 months once a day and was lucky enopugh to have no side effects.

can you take sulfameth/th/trimethoprim 800 160 with meloxicam 7.5.. I am taking it for a sinus infection and cough, but my costachondritis has flared up and wanted to take meloxicam ## My findings state that there are in fact interactions between these two drugs.

How fast should amox K Clav 875/125mg take to heal an oral infection? I need to rule out tonsil cancer. If the antibiotic does not work it is more likely to be cancer. ## Or it could just be an antibiotic resistant bacteria, so you'd need to try a different stronger one to treat it, or it could be recurrent tonsillitis, which may require removal of the tonsils. I had many tonsil infections over the years and the possibility of cancer was never mentioned to me, but I did end up finally having to have them out when I was 20. Learn more Augmentin details here. As to the antibiotic, there shouldn't be any worsening after 24 hours, if it's working and then you should start to see improvement within about 3 days. What other antibiotics have you tried? Have they done throat cultures?
