availbility of spasmo urolong in the u.s ## Hi Lali, Spasmo-Urolong contains the active ingredients: Camylofin + Nitrofurantoin; and only appears to be available outside of the U.S. (particularly in Mexico, from what I can gather). The manufacturer's page is link below for more details: altianpharma.com/site/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=31&category_id=9&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=13&lang=en You may be able to contact them directly on their webpage or ask your pharmacist about obtaining each drug individually. I would see that as a last resort option if you really need it. I hope this info helps!

I AM TAKING AMOXICILLIN FOR UTI. 875 MG TABLETS.ONE EVERY 12 HOURS. I NEED TO CHANGE TO SULAMETHOXAZOLE-TMP. CAN I SUB SULFAMETHOXAZOLE WHEN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TIME TO TAKE AMOX? ## Hi Roy, The answer to your question is yes, as long as you're still sticking to your dosing regimen. A friend of mine had to take both of these medications at once for a staph infection, so I know they don't necessarily interact with one another in that regard. I hope this helps!

I have some amoxicilina 500 mg. july 2008 can it be used ## Hi mary, I honestly wouldn't recommend using any expired antibiotics that are more than a couple months old. That's just me personally. Reason being is that certain ones can actually become toxic after the expiration date, making them more harmful than they are good. If it were any other type of drug I would say yes, as most properly stored medications can last up to 10-15 years beyond their expiration date (according to a study done by Harvard University). Do you have access to a doctor for a new prescription?

My face is hot and my forehead is dry and peeling.Has anyone had any of my symtoms. I have taken stool softeners and am drinking lots of water.Called nurse and she seemed to think it was the anesthesia that is causing my symtoms.After knowing i am not the only one with bad side effects i will stop this horrible antibiotics. ## Actually, that skin peeling may be the sign of a possible serious reaction that does mean you should stop taking it immediately and seek medical attention. Learn more Macrobid details here. Did it clear up when you stopped taking it?

I have been on AMOX TR-K CLV 2 pills a day for 3 days, the morning after day 2 I had pain in my big toe the same type of pain that I get when the Gout act up.

Are you on any other medications?

My 2yr old has strep throat bad and doesnt want to sallow anything. Will erythromycin-sulfisox susp kill this infection or do i need a stronger antibiotic? ## Hi Janet, From what I could gather, Erythromycin is often a first choice antibiotic against strep throat. There are however certain strains that are "immune"; in which case I would simply suggest letting your doctor have the final say as to what medication would be best. Learn More: Erythromycin Details I hope this helps!

Can't raise my arm in the past I have had reaction from other meds ## It isn't a listed common side effect, but if you are having a bad reaction to it, then yes, it can happen. This is Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim and, as a sulfa based antibiotic, it is well known to cause bad reactions in a good percentage of the people that try it. Learn more Bactrim details here. How long have you been taking it?

i can't tell you what it did that made me be marked elergic because my mother died when i was just 11 years old. ## Yes, you would most likely still be allergic to it. Learn more Penicillin details here. If you know who the doctor was the you had back then, or what hospital treated you, then they should be able to provide you with this information. Have you tried contacting them yet?

ive got a bad head cold can i used trimeth sulfa ds for a head cold ## No. Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim is an antibiotic that is used to treat various bacterial infections and, as such, it will not be effective at treating a cold. Colds are caused by a virus, not a bacterial infection. Learn more Bactrim details here. Additionally, improper use of antibiotics creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. What types of symptoms are you having?

I had a ingrown toenail...and they prescribed me sulfameth.....I took my last sulfameth pill last night..can I drink alcohol today? ## I would personally suggest waiting until the drug is completely out of your system; which can take up to 3 or 4 days after your last dose. By now it's been just over a week since you posted this, so you should be good to go at this point in time. Did the antibiotic help with the infection? I have one of these right now in my toe and it seems the only way is to have the toenail cut off at a certain point. Their like mini daggers, which is very unpleasant to say the least Lol!

I am taking macrodantin for a urinary-urethra infection. I have quickly shown a large increase in blood pressure. I also wear an Interstim device for a sluggish bladder. Would this possibly affect blood pressue when taking nitro-fur? ## I can't find anything saying that it does so. Learn more Macrodantin details here. However, have you had any other unusual effects from taking it, such as skin rash, hives or swollen glands? I'm asking because I had a high blood pressure elevation when I had a bad reaction to an antibiotic. It turned out I was allergic to it.

Is it safe to get a flu shot while take nitrofur macr 100 mg? ## I'm not aware of any issues between the two, but since the flu vaccine can change from year to year, it isn't actually tested against medications. Learn more Nitrofurantoin details here. I know that as a heart patient, my doctor has never worried about what else I was taking, when she gave me the shot. You may want to just double check with your doctor to be safe, there's no harm in asking. Are there any other questions or comments?

I am blowing yellow and green stuff and coughing up yellow and green. Can I take ciprofloxacin ## Those sound like the symptoms of a sinus infection. Learn more sinusitis details here. But you should have that medically confirmed. Additionally, are these left overs from another infection? Learn more Ciprofloxacin details here. It so, then you may not have enough to fully eradicate an infection, which creates the risk of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria.

I am on 1000mg of amoxicillin twice a day for 20 days for a deep tissue skin infection at my knee. The infection has cleared up completely and it has been 4 days but I plan to continue take the antibiotics until they are gone. Is it safe to take P6 Extreme along with the antibiotics (amoxicillin 1000mg) ? ## In theory there shouldn't be a problem, since the P6 Extreme is a supplement that's claimed to help boost testosterone, but as such, it hasn't actually been tested for interactions with prescription medications. Additionally, it hasn't been proven to actually work to boost testosterone, either. Learn more Amoxicillin details here. If it were me, I'd err on the side of caution and not take it, until I was done with the antibiotic. Have you tried asking your pharma...

I don't have insurance but I do have an rx discount card. Does anybody know which pharmacy in Los Angeles sells Nitrofurantoin Mono/mac 100mg for the cheapest price...help....it's so expensive without insurance....i paid $44 for 14 tablets at Ralphs and need to find a cheaper price than this. ## Though it can vary some from area to area, I'm afraid that's about the average price for them right now. Learn more Nitrofurantoin details here. This is an antibiotic, so how long will you be taking it? Have you tried calling other pharmacies in the area? You may find it a few dollars cheaper, but I doubt there will be a significant difference.

My son has acne on his chest and back. He is going to join the Army and we have been told that the acne can disqualify him. Our doctor has prescribed Amox/Clav. He has his physical in 2 weeks. What are the chances of the acne clearing up by then. Hoping for a huge miracle here!! ## It really depends on the type and severity of the acne, for some severe forms, yes they would fail him on the physical. Learn more Augmentin details here. The issue, however, is that is usually takes longer than 2 weeks for an antibiotic to clear it up and for it to stay cleared up, the person usually takes a low dose for a long time period. And is there any special reason the doctor prescribed this antibiotic, a generic for Augmentin? Usually the preferred one is Doxycycline. Learn more Doxycycline details h...

This is an antibiotic good for getting rid of mucus, leading to a chronic cough. It has been successful several times for me and saved me a doctor's vi$it. Take two the first day and one each day following for five days. ## Thank you for your post, I really hope it's beneficial to someone. There is one important thing to remember though, as an antibiotic, Cephalexin is not effective at treating the viruses that cause most common colds that may cause such mucous to be a problem. It will also not treat allergies, which could be another reason for one to be full of mucous. Learn more Cefalexina details here. As an antibiotic, it is only effective against bacterial infections and improper use of it may lead to the development of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Thus, one does have to ...
