Humana Prescription benefit Plan told me they will not cover this drug anymore as it is high risk for older patients. What are these risks? I have been taking 100mgs'day for about a year now due to kidney infections from kidney stones and an abcess. I take it as a precaution ( prophylactic) and have not had any problems since. ## It has been found that all of its side effects are more pronounced and common in the elderly, in addition it creates the risk of pulmonary fibrosis. In this case, it is probably best to speak to your doctor about using an alternative medication. Are there any questions or comments?

Hi, I have been taking purbac for about 3 years on and off now for my acne. As soon as my prescription ends I get horrible sore swollen pimples around my chin and mouth. I'm really battling with the purbac though as it makes me bloated. I've also started suffering with a lot of hamstring pain which I think may be related. What do I do now? Are there any over the counter meds or creamsI can use? ## What else has your doctor advised? Purbac contains Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim, it is an antibiotic prescribed under the name Bactrim in many countries. Being on it for so long means that there's the possibility of a rebound effect, when you stop taking it. If that's the case, it may just be a matter of waiting for it to process out of your body and clear up on its own. H...

Is macrobid or the generic ( Nitrofur Macr 100) be related to Sulfer or Penicillin? ## Although this is an antibiotic, It does not contain Sulfur, nor is it related to Penicillin. Due to sulfa allergies, it must be stated on a medication when it contains a sulfur-based ingredient. This antibiotic does have a lot of side effects however, so you may be experiencing one or more of these if you do have any symptoms. You can read more about this drug by clicking on the links below: I would suggest looking into the vast number of natural antibiotic alternatives (in the form of herbs, essential oils, and dietary changes) if you're not getting the results you're looking for from Nitrofurantoin. I hope this helps!

Found a red pill, with black numbering 3147 without the 93. Is this still Cephalexin monohydrate? ## Does it have the word TEVA on it, rather than the 93? If so, then yes, it is the same medication, the 93 was the old logo that Teva Pharmaceuticals used and they have slowly been transitioning them to use the TEVA logo, instead.

I'm taking By mycin 100mg twice a day for ten days only on day one and have heartburn can I take losec or something similar ## By-Mycin contains the active ingredient Doxycycline, which is an antibiotic used to treat various types of infections.

Most of the antacid warnings pertain to calcium based ones, because it can interfere with the absorption of some medications. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can this drug cause the blood sugar to increase? (On insulin pump now.) ## Hi John, Information that I've gathered on this subject notes the following: "Sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim may also increase the effects of drugs used to treat diabetes, such as glipizide (Glucotrol), glyburide (Glynase, Micronase, Diabeta), chlorpropamide (Diabinese), tolbutamide (Orinase), and tolazamide (Tolinase). Very low blood sugar levels may result. Watch for changes in your blood sugar if you are a diabetic."

Check blood sugar levels closely and ask your doctor before adjusting the dose of your diabetes medicine." Referenced from: I would also like to share with you that the inclus...
