Where can I fill a prescription for terramicina in the l.a area? ## Hi Miguel, Just for your own information, Terramicina isn't available here in the US. Terramicina is actually a Mexican version of Terramycin (oxytetracycline hydrochloride). However, Terramycin is reportedly available with a doctor's prescription. So I don't know if you'd have to get a new prescription with an American drug name on it in order to have your Rx filled, but that may be a possibility and something to just keep in mind if you run into any issues. Nevertheless, it sounds to me like your best bet would be to contact a local pharmacy there in LA for more specific details regarding its availability. I hope this helps!

Im trying to conceive and my doctor gave me anaerobyl, Doxytet and ovral, is dat can help me? ## Hello, Thesh! How are you? Anaerobyl and Doxytet are antibiotics, they are only effective at treating or preventing bacterial infections. Their typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Ovral is actually an oral contraceptive that's used to prevent pregnancy. Its typical side effects, as listed by the U.S. FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and PMS-like symptoms. That said, no, none of these will help you get pregnant. Are you sure the doctor understood that you want to become pregnant? ## I had miscarriage so I'm trying again bt nou I cnt fall pregnant again is something wrong wth me lm 28 ## Hi I...

I have a gum infection because I have a bad tooth that needs to be pulled. The dentist prescribed me Amoxicillin 875 mg. I'm just wondering how long will it take for my gums to return back to normal. I've been taking the pills for 7 days and I have 3 days left. ## Hello, Shauna! How are you doing? The general rule for antibiotics is that you should start to see improvement after taking them for a full 3 days. If you still have swelling, it may not be the right one to treat the infection you have and you may need to ask about taking something else. When are you having the tooth extracted? It would be best to do it after the infection has improved, otherwise it may not numb properly. ## As rightlly said by Verwon, at seven days you shud ave had an improvement if not complete heali...

I have a sinus infection and I was taking Amoxicillin to relieve my symptoms but so far it has not gotten better but worse. I was then prescribed Azithromycin 250 by my Dr. Is it safe to switch medication? ## Yes, as long as your doctor has instructed you to do so, it is best to follow their directions. The FDA lists the typical side effects of antibiotics as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. is there anything else I can help with? ## I was taking Amoxicillin for a sinus infection and strep throat.

I recently had a d&c and was given Septra after my surgery for a UTI (that I didn't end up having). That entire week I had symptoms that I thought was just from anesthesia recovery: stiff neck, sore joints, sore muscles. By day 7 of Septra, I broke out in a rash, it was flat red blotches, pin size and needle feeling all over and burning. I was told to stop the drug and given prednisone and Benadryl and zantac. After the prednisone was gone, the burning was back so they put me on Medrol dose pack for 6 days. My face would flare a little here and there but not bad. Yesterday was my last medrol pill and that evening it came back. My skin tints red, you can't notice if I don't mention it. But it feels like a sunburn on my body and face. It's been 12 days since stopping S...

What should the dosage of this med be. Adult female approx 130.lbs. ## The usual Adult dose for an Upper Respiratory Tract Infection is 250 to 500 mg orally every 6 hours for 7 to 10 days. Anatomically speaking, the upper respiratory tract does include the sinuses, so it would be safe to assume that this would be the correct dose for this type of infection. You can read more about this medication here: Is there anything else I can help you with? ## Hi! Thanks for posting! What has your doctor advised? The usual dosage for something such as a sinus infection is 500mgs every 12 hours, but it can vary depending on the severity of the infection, so you should follow your doctor's instructions. ## Should your boyfriend be treated if I am taking Cephalexin? ## Should Keflex be taken away ...

I have a long history of sinusitus and MD has given me antibiotics to use. After 3 days with 1 cephalexin 100 mg p/day. Would swithcing to cephalexin 500 mgs 4x p day get faster results??? Is it a problem stopping one and starting another?? ## Switching can create the risk of your developing C. Difficile, so you should take the one your doctor has prescribed for you. The general rule with antibiotics is that if they are working, you shouldn't see any worsening after taking them for a full 24 hours, and you should see some improvement after taking them for a full 3 days. Has there been any change, yet? The FDA warns that this typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash.

I have a head cold for which I'm taking Mucinex and Augmentin. Can I take Forskolin along with it? ## According to the University of Maryland Medical Center (umm.edu / drug interaction tool), there are no interactions listed between Mucinex and Augmentin. However, when it comes to natural plant-derived OTC supplements such as Forskolin (coleonol) I'm afraid that Western medical literature doesn't cater to this category of medicine. If in doubt, I would encourage you to get in touch with a naturopathic/holistic physician who can make sense of its mechanism of action to verify Forskolin's safety in combination with these other pharmaceutical-based medications. It might also be best to just wait until you recover from that head cold so you don't have to worry about inte...

Child specialist has prescribed ofloxacin syrup to my 8 month old grandchild 4ml twice a day for a cough & cold. When his mother had given the medicine to the baby, he tried to cough / vomit. Is the ofloxacin is safe for the baby? The taste of the syrup is not good. Please advise. ## As listed by the U.S. FDA, nausea and vomiting can be normal side effects of this medication, it could also cause dizziness, headache and non-allergic skin rash. Have you tried mixing it with juice or apple sauce? It is best to stay away from using dairy products, but unless the doctor states otherwise, it usually okay to mix it with fruits, jello or juices to make it more palatable. ## My 8 month old girl weighs 9kg, has a fever and doctors prescribed ofloxacin 6.5ml 4 times a day. That ofloxacin conta...

Just wanted to know if I can use the G & W 3171 pill for a tooth infection? I have some left over from my doctor and I see a bump growing in my mouth. I'm pretty sure that's the infection forming by my tooth. I'm in a lot of pain and don't have time to go to a dentist. Can I use these in the meantime? Please help. ## Hi Kera, The pill you're describing is reportedly identified as Clindamycin hydrochloride 150 mg, made by G & W Labs with a National Drug Code of 00713-3171. From what I understand, Clindamycin is a potent broad-spectrum antibiotic that I believe if taken correctly could prove useful for a tooth infection. In past experiences I recall receiving Clindamycin, Amoxicillin, Penicillin & even Ciprofloxacin (at different times of my life for tooth ...

Hi my son is 6 years old and has pink eye. I took him to urgent care because I couldn't get into his normal pediatrician before they closed for the day. He has also been having pain behind one of his ears/kind of on his jaw line. I told the doctor this and he checked his ears saying he did not have an ear infection but that he believes it could be mastoiditis. This concerns me but the doc acted like it isn't a big deal. He prescribed eye drops for pink eye and amoxicillin 250mg/5ml suspect 100ml and told me to give him 17.5ml 2x a day. He only weighs 46 pounds. I feel like this is way too much for his age and weight. Is this amount too much or is it normal for his diagnosis? Please help! ## You should give him the dosage the doctor has prescribed. Antibiotics are usually dosed a...

All of sudden I started to feel like my energy is totally gone, very tired, from morning to evening.

I have a abcess tooth wanted to know if keflex 500 mg will take the infection out. ## Hi Jackie, From what I could gather, Keflex (cephalexin) can in fact be used to treat a tooth infection. Apparently the usual adult dose for bacterial infections is listed as being anywhere from 250 to 500mgs every 6 hours; to be taken for up to 1-3 weeks, depending on the severity of the infection. However, these exact figures are generally something your doctor/dentist would determine upon a closer examination. I hope this helps answer your question! ## Does cephalexin help with sinus infection ## I have had a bad tooth infection with pain for some time now..and have been treating it with OTC pain meds.. In the past I used Amoxicillin..it helped..but I heard that Cephalexin can be used for this also....

Thinking I have an abscessed tooth. I have samitrogen on hand purchased in Mexico. Sell by date is Sep 2014. Are these still safe to take? ## Hello Sam! How are you? Unfortunately, I am not sure. Mexico does not regulate their medications like the U.S., so I don't know if that is an expiration date, or if it is still effective for awhile after that. It would be best to see your dentist, so he can prescribe an antibiotic for you, if one is required. Additionally, even after taking an antibiotic, you'll need to have the underlying cause of the infection treated, or it will keep returning. The FDA lists the typical side effects to antibiotics as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and dehydration. Does anyone know how the expirations work in Mexic...
