If someone has an allergy reaction to sulfa can they take Amox tr-k clv 500-125mg tan is a white oblong shaped tablet ## Hi adriana, Are you able to provide the imprint on this pill? There's really too many different types of drugs and manufacturers to pin point every pill that contains sulfa, but with the imprint I can lookup and contact the manufacturer of this pill, regarding your concern. The link below lists a few medications that notably contain sulfa, but there are a lot of mixed answers floating around the net that pertain to Amoxicillin: For future reference I would just clarify with your doctor and/or local pharmacy that you have an allergy to sulfa; this way your current and future prescriptions won't contain any. I hope this helps!

So I just got prescribed this antibiotic for a dog bite and I have used amoxicillin before but it has never worked for me for anything I have used it for. Since this drug has it in it, will it even work for me? ## Did you discuss that with the prescribing doctor? They really don't know what does, or does not work for you, unless you tell them, or they have your full medical records. And exactly what do you mean by saying it doesn't work for you? This one, which contains Amoxicillin with Clavulanic Acid is a generic for Augmentin.

Took macrobid x 9 days and allergic reaction. ## Macrobid is an antibiotic drug and like most antibiotics when stopped, it will stay in your system for about a week, but a lot depends on the dosage and also your metabolism; so it could be a little more or less. It is common for a doctor to prescribe a 7-10 day course for an antibiotic; and from what I've read, most antibiotics will continue to fight off bacteria for 4-10 days (about a week) after use. Regarding the allergic reaction, information that I've gathered states the following: "A serious allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, tro...

That is not proper storage conditions and can cause degradation of the med...

How long a treatment of Nitrofur Mac Cap100 Mg is reguired for urinary tract infection? ## Hi Mary, Listed below is information regarding the proper dosing and length of treatment for a UTI: "The recommended nitrofurantoin dosage for treating UTIs in adults is 50 to 100 mg four times daily, continued for at least three days after the infection has cleared.
