I have pcos and I drank betamox and got bad side effects like difficult breathing rash on my face a lot of sneezing it was the first time this happened although I've used it a year ago ## Have you consulted your doctor? Betamox contains the active ingredient Amoxicillin, which is an antibiotic that's used to treat infections. And as to the reactions you experienced from it, our bodies do change with time, so it is possible to suddenly become allergic to something, even if you took it in the past, without any problems.

Can Tenkorex be used to treat persistant Bacterial Vaginosis? ## The answer to your question though is no, Bacterial Vaginosis has to be treated with medication with anaerobic coverage and Tenkorex (Cephalexin) doesn't have any. In that regard, it may make it worse by killing the good normal flora, causing the bad bacteria already there to over run your vagina. "Two different antibiotics are generally recommended as treatment for BV: metronidazole or clindamycin. Either can be used with non-pregnant or pregnant women, but the recommended dosages differ." Referenced from: cdc.gov/std/BV/STDFact-Bacterial-Vaginosis.htm#Treatment I hope this info helps!

The white pill has a groove on one side and "P 500" on the other. It is white and round. What is it? ## Hi Chris, I found one possible ID for this pill based on the description provided. The pill with this imprint has been identified as Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (500 mg). It is white, but also capsule-shaped or oval as opposed to round. This seems to be the only discrepancy in relation to what you described it as. For further verification, it is Manufactured by Pack Pharmaceuticals, LLC. and the National Drug Code (NDC) is: 16571-0412 Please post back if you can confirm whether or not your pill is an elongated (oval) round shape or simply a perfect circle. Thanks! I hope this helps!

Ok well I was taken to accident&emergency on the 22nd of April because of coughing up blood not involuntary coughing though, my oxygen levels were low and I was placed on a sodium drip. So far I still have no idea what was wrong. I had CT scans, blood tests, sputum tests and an x-ray scan of my chest. Still I am unsure as to what was wrong. They then proceeded to place me on doxycycline which I took as recommended, now it has been five days since I took my last doxy.

If I sit up then I am not so bad albeit every so often I find it hard to breath but then I'm fine again this only seems to happen whilst trying to sleep or laying down. I can only assume I had pneumonia of some form and ...
