In advance Thank you. Linda ## Did you show the classic symptoms of it? The most predominant, which usually identifies it is the bullseye rash, though to be honest, it really doesn't look much like a bullseye. Did they also run the blood test for it?

My friend in USA has great difficulty swallowing large antibiotic caps; I suggested she asks her doctor to prescribe half the dosage and double the quantity of pills. My friend misunderstood and asked the PHARMACIST who said there are no smaller sized ones. I believe there must be lower doses and she could double the amount of caps. Please help, anybody who knows about USA antibiotics! ## half the dosage of a capsule does not equal to half the size of it. Injection may be better and faster solution ## MAHDI is correct, a lower dosage doesn't necessarily mean a smaller size. Amoxicillin is an antibiotic, so it is very important that the proper dosage be taken for the right length of time to treat or prevent an infection. However, there are liquid suspensions available, as well as che...

I am allergic to amoxicillin, and my doctor gave me augmentin. I did not know this antibiotic contained amoxicillin (and I am guessing he overlooked it), and it almost killed me. If you get this, make sure you are not allergic to any of the cillin drugs~ ## Yes, Augmenting contains Amoxicillin with Clavulanic Acid and should not be used if you are allergic to any of the ingredients. The safest thing to do is to make sure that your pharmacy records your allergy in their computer system, that way all medications will be checked against this information and if they find something that isn't safe for you to take, they will not give you the prescription and will contact your doctor for an alternative. I am sorry to hear you had such a problem, but in the future, make sure that you do wha...
