I have occasional IBS, also diverticulitis. Is there a gentle diarrhea stopper I can use while I am travrlling for a couple of weeks other than immodium ## Jm. Ercefuryl is an intestinal antiseptic not an antibiotic. It is safe to use and has no harmful side effects. .It is highly effective against intestinal bacterial infections. The other highly effective medication is neomycin which is an antibiotic and you would need a doctor's prescription. .

I am taking the sulfamethoxazole for a pain by my side and lower back for 3 days. Now I am done taking the pills but my vagina is uncomfortable. Is that a reaction from the pill? ## Sulfamethoxazole is an antibiotic, so there is a chance that it may have caused a vaginal yeast infection, as a side effect and, if it did, you will need treatment for that. Have you consulted your doctor? ## Lately, I have been experiencing vaginal pain during urination. Which type of medicine can I take for relief? ## Is there any medicine for treating vaginal pain during a 9 month pregnancy? Please advise.

Can I chew one of these pills? The box doesn't say it has to be swallowed and I have a lot of trouble swallowing pills and tablets... ## It really depends on the formulation of the tablets and I don't know what that is, just from what you've posted. Are there any markings on them? Since it is not a time released formulation, unless your doctor or pharmacist has specifically instructed otherwise, you can crush them and mix them in something like a spoonful of apple sauce to make it easier to take them. Just stay away from taking it with dairy products, since that can affect the absorption of the medication and bear in mind that if they aren't intended to be chewable, it is still going to taste awful. This is an antibiotic, so you may experience side effects, such as: naus...

I bought 100 amoxicillin caps about 3 years ago and stored them in a dark place and I was curious if they would still be good to take. ## does amoxicillin expire ## don't use it. amoxicillin goes bad a year from when you bought it. ## Actually, no, it does not go bad, it just loses efficacy, so it is not as strong or as potent as when you first bought, starting from about 18 months past the manufacture date. You should never self-diagnose or self-treat with antibiotics anyway, there are so many other conditions that will not respond to them, so they have no effect, and you of course run the risk of developing an antibiotic resistant strain of something with overuse, so please see your doctor. ## First of all, why do you just have the drug sitting around? Did you take it and not fini...

I was on amoxicillin for 12 days and then I took my last dose in the morning before I went to take a routine blood work and the Dr got the results on Wednesday and he said my enzymes were high in my liver which totally alarmed me. He sent me in for an ultrasound and everything looked normal! Can this antibiotic cause high liver enzymes? And how long does this antibiotic remain in your system? I stopped my last dose on Tuesday of this week. ## Your liver enzymes may be raised any time you are sick, it is your liver that does the most work detoxifying the body, and removing bacteria, or viruses, according to NIH reports. If things were normal via the ultrasound and no other abnormalities have been found, there is not likely a problem. But I am not a doctor, so I can only tell you what cur...

My doctor said some people may not be allergic to the amoxicillin but to the capsule it is put in, as these are made cheap with added 'E; numbers. I had swollen lips and tonge, short of breath when I took them and thought I was allergic to penicillin, after what my doctor said, I tried amoxicillin again, I took it out of the capsules and added the powder to a drop of fruit juice and guess what I had no reaction whatsoever to amoxicillin. Why dont they use veggie capsules, instead of these cheap capsules with toxic 'E' numbers added to them? ## When you experienced these side effects, did you go back to the doctor? What did they do to help you? ## I took amoxicillin clavulanate 875mg for three days and it made me very sick to my stomach. I have been off it for 24 hours. How l...

I bought some Penicillin from a friend who came from Mexico with the tittle Penicilina Penimina 500mg, but I have been searching for this Arantiz Pharmaceuticals all over the internet and it does not provide any results, the lab address on the bottle, after I google it, shows what looks like a home in at Calle Teotihuacan 1585, Pinar de la Calma, 45080 Zapopan, Jal., Mexico, can anyone confirm if this is an actual pharmaceutical company in Mexico? ## Mexico really does not regulate their medications, like the U.S., and Canada, so unfortunately, there is no way to be sure what you have actually received. I did find them listed on various Mexican mail order pharmacy sites, but that's all I can really tell you about them. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this antibiotic as pos...
