On April 14th, 2012, my marriage was as perfect as I ever though a marriage could be- in fact, I was surprised almost every day by another facet to the magic that was our lives together. On April 15th, instead of getting up and going to work with me as usual, with a noon picnic in the park and maybe some countryside exploring in the afternoon, my wife of 5 years was "tired" so I let her sleep. When I got home from work, she was distant and combative. We argued, because I'd never seen her that way and didn't understand. On the 16th, it was more of the same. She slept alot, and was distant and depressed when awake. On the 17th, she started saying and doing things that made no sense. I'd ask her if she was taking anything- she had serious knee problems from a reaction t...

Please identify the following: White Oblong Tablet with imprint Cl 20 on one side, no other imprints on the otherside except a transverse line at the midsection. ## I'm sorry, but I can't find any listings for this in our U.S. prescription drug resources. This leads me to suspect that it may be something that is available over the counter, though there is also a small chance that it may be a foreign medication. Do you happen to know its country of origin? ## methenamine hippurate, 1 gram County Line Pharmaceuticals ## This is correct. It's generic for Hiprex.

Having terrible coughing and coughing and won't let up. takes my breath away and then hard to get air/breath. Would this antibiotic, AmoxiclavK125 help with this infection? ## This is a generic for Augmentin, so that stands for Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid and it will only help if the problem is being caused by an infection. Learn more Augmentin details here. It is not a cough suppressant, so it will not help if the coughing is just due to a cold, or allergy. Have you talked to your doctor?

using to prevent an infection, should ss, be used after the infection is gone.? ## I don't see what the point would be of using an antibiotic, after the infection has already been cleared up. Learn more Bactrim details here. It can be used to clear one up, or to prevent one, when needed, but other use isn't usually recommended. Especially with this one, because it carries some serious risks. Are there any other questions or comments?

My daughter is 5 years old and has urinary reflux stage 3. She has been taking sulfameth-trimeth since she was 2 years old. She always has breakthrough infections. My question is what are the long term side effects of her taking the medication for so long and is it necessary? I'm afraid it might be causing more damage than good to her little body. ## To be completely honest, I'd also be concerned, Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim can cause some nasty problems in a lot of people that take it. Having taken it just once recently for an infection, I'll never take it again. Learn more Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim details here. As to possible long term effects, it may cause kidney, or liver damage, though it is not common. There are other antibiotic options that may be safe...

Best Medication to Treat Pneumonia ## Antibiotics are most commonly used, since bacteria is what causes the initial infection in the lungs. However, there is no particular best one, your doctor will prescribe according to how severe it is as well as their experience on which has worked best for other people being treated for a similar condition. Have you seen a doctor for this? ## i have suffered in pneumonia from childhood still today now iam 22 year old ## I have been seeing doctors since March. The pulmonologist released me because the last x-ray showed no infection or aspiration. I still have some pain and discomfort in my chestand wonder why is it taking so long to get back to normal.

Hey Ive had bladder infection, went to the doctors and they've given me MACRODANTIN CAPSULES 100mg to take 3x a day and its the yellow capsules but seriously been going alot to the toilet to pee, now is this normol to be going to pee alot? ## Well, it could be caused by the medication, or due to the bladder infection itself, so it's a bit difficult to say which one, but yes, it is something you'd experience from either one.

I know I should not drink alcohol, or citrus juices (grapefruit) Are there other foods I should avoid? What about coffee, and yogurt? (a bacterial culture) I have a urinary tract infection and would like to have my morning coffee but fear it may aggrevate the urinary tract. ## Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim, the active ingredient in Bactrim is actually only warned about in conjunction with the alcohol. There are no warnings with using it, when eating or drinking anything else, though you may want to check with your doctor or pharmacist to be certain. As to the coffee, that is the main concern with it, it is acidic and worsen the irritation and pain of a UTI. This medication may cause other side effects, which might include: nausea, drowsiness, diarrhea and skin rash. Are there any o...

Learn more Bactrim details here. I had so many problems with this one that I will never take it, again. Since you haven't completed your course of it, you should call your doctor and ask for an alternative antibiotic.
