I have a UTI, I am going crazy, my Dr. can't get me in for four days and there is no way I can take any more of this. I have Amoxicillin 875/ Clav K 125 Tab (whatever that means) that I was prescribed for a sinus infection that went away on its own. Can I use this for my UTI? I have the full prescription right here. Ugh that would be a God send. Cranberry is only keeping some of the pain away. ## Amoxicillin with Clavulanic Acid, the active ingredients in Augmentin, is an antibiotic that is used to treat various types of infections, however, it may not actually help in the case of a UTI. Overuse has caused it to become ineffective for treating these types of infections in a large percentage of people, which is why it is no longer the first choice antibiotic for treating them. The do...

I take suboxone everyday. I want to know if I take ampicillin for a tooth infection will there be any interaction that might hurt me? ## I didn't find any problems, or interactions listed, but it is always best to double check to be sure. The FDA does warn that you may experience side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and GI upset. The Suboxone also carries the risk of being habit forming. How are you doing taking them both? Are you on any other medications?

I have been given doxycycline against Lyme disease, but I suspect I have a jaw abscess/head infection as the jaw is very painful my headaches are localised as well as inflamed nerves and my head feels as if it has pus at the base. Will doxycycline work for abscess and head infections or do I need to get different treatment? ## It is a broad spectrum antibiotic, so it can help with various types of infections. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. However, if you have an abcess, it is very important to consult a doctor to discover what has caused it. If you don't, then the underlying cause could remain, and may cause the infection to return. How advanced was your Lymes? that can cause such sympt...

How long after taking clacee will the side effects stop? Specifically the vaginal burn and foul taste in my mouth? ## Hello, Celeste! How are you doing? Has there been any change? Antibiotics can sometimes cause oral and vaginal yeast infections as a side effect, so you may need an antifungal medication to properly treat it, if that's what has happened, according to the NIH. Did you experience any of the other side effects that are listed by the FDA, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and diarrhea? ## I got palputations .Is that normal?? Terrible taste in my mouth

In the corner of my eyes is sore with redness ## @gonzo, Terramicina or "Terramycin" in english terms is an antibiotic marketed in several forms, including an ophthalmic ointment for treating eye infections specifically in animals such as horses, cattle, cats, dogs, etc... Every article of information I'm finding on the ophthalmic ointment points back to its veterinary applications, but nothing concerning human use. So with that said, I think it may be best to double check with your doctor before attempting to use it on yourself. Chances are that it might be just fine, but these days it's worth getting a professional opinion as well. Active Ingredient: Oxytetracycline Terramicina Origin: Mexico Indications: A broad spectrum antibiotic used to treat a wide variety of bact...

I am taking ibilex 500 cap, 2 tablets twice a day for an abscess on the back of my neck. How long before I should feel some relief. ## Hello, Elizabeth! How are you? I'm sorry about the abscess. The general rule with antibiotics is that if they are working, you should see no worsening of your condition after being on it for a full 24 hours and you should start to see improvement after taking it for a full 3 days. The active ingredient in Ibilex is listed as being Cephalexin and the FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## My doctor prescribed ibilex 500mg as an antibiotic for chest/head cold symptoms and I am looking for more information please.

Just need fast relief. ## Hello, Sandra! How are you feeling? To know if an antibiotic is working, you shouldn't see any worsening of your condition after taking it for 24 hours and improvement should start after being on it for 3 days, so yes, that's a little to soon to expect a change. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Learn more Amoxicillin details here. Is there anything else I can help with? ## How long can amoxicillin be left out of fridge and still be ok to take?it has never been put in the refrigerator.

I found these pills in an unmarked bottle. Are they an antibiotic and if so, for the treatment of what? ## Yes, Belcher Pharmaceuticals lists these capsules as containing 500mgs of Cephalexin, this antibiotic is used to treat various types of bacterial infections. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, headache, and non-allergic skin rash. NDC code: 62250-0802 It should only be taken, if your doctor has confirmed the presence of an infection, since taking them when they are not actually needed could result in your developing antibiotic resistance, and that may put you in serious danger in the future. Where did you find them?

I have chronic prostatitis for over years. My pain in testicles and lower back get severe these days. What medicine is efficient for curing chronic prostatitis? ## Hello, Jackson! How are you doing? I am sorry that you're in so much pain. Have they discovered the cause? There are 2 types of chronic prostatitis, one that is due to a bacterial infection, and the other isn't.

Good day, I have tonsillitis and the Dr prescribed Purmycin. In 2015 I had same and was given Betamox 500 and Betaclav 1000 by a different Dr. How effective are these Purmycin tablets as it feels like I'm getting worse.

Accidentally took double dose of Bactrim DS. Is this harmful? ## Hello, Jack! How are you?

However, it is always best to inform your doctor of what happened, just in case.
