Is this a prescription drug. I was told it was a form of penecillian. They are in capsule form 500 mg and are blue and white with no markings on them. Thank You ## it's a copy of a natural antibiotic Ampitrexyl, buy Ampitrexyl it's safe ## Do you have any more information on what is in these? ## Reading the Box it is not Atibiotic it is just a deceiving name if you reed the ingrediets are arboleary. And if it is not to cure infections I think it is a crime to sell it to people that realy need to stop the damage of any infection, they can be complicated and like any other sickness and medication it needs the profesional Dr. medicine trained personel, and to report any person that is selling this or any other medicine that require a Doctor prescription.

does amoxicillin and clavulanate nullify the use of opiates, killing infections in the body being derived from penicillan, does augmentin xr (amoxicillin and clavulanate) stop or cancel out the effects of opiates also taken in combination? ## No, as a matter of fact antibiotics and narcotic opiate analgesics are often prescribed together, since the swelling from infections frequently causes intense pain, until the antibiotics start knocking out the infection. Learn more Augmentin details here. Learn more opiate details here. Have you had some type of problem taking them together?

FOR WHAT INDICATION WE CAN USE Zifi Az PLEASE JUSTIFY ## Zifi-AZ contains the active ingredients Cefixime and Azithromycin, it is an antibiotic that's used to treat various types of infections. Learn more Cefixime details here. Learn more Azithromycin details here. Is there anything else I can help with? ## It is a unique combination of 2 antibiotics acting at 2 different sites (intracellular and extracellular). Therefore, indications such as Typhoid, Lower Respiratory infection and Gynecological infections like PID which are caused due to Intracelluar and Extracellular pathogens are the ideal indications.The clinical success experienced by clinicians would therefore be higher as one will possibly kill pathogens at both the sites. Relapse would also be lower for the reason.

can you take sulfameth-trineth for an absessed tooth ## Sulfamethoxazole + Trimethoprim is an antibiotic and can be used to treat various types of infections, including dental abscesses. Has your dentist instructed you to use it? Only asking because it would be vital that you take a full-coarse of this medication in order to get rid of the infection indefinitely. Otherwise it can come back and become even more resistant to the medication. NOTE: Clove oil is another excellent option as backup for pain relief and killing off the infection.
