I need to know what a round yellow pill is with M on one side and 023 on the other? ## Is there any chance that the 023 is actually D23? I located a round yellow pill with a capital M on one side and D23 on the other. However the letter D is illustrated in such a way that it could easily be mistaken for a 0. This particular pill is reportedly identified as Doxycycline monohydrate (100mg); an antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. For verification, the manufacturer is listed as Mylan Pharmaceuticals. Hope this helps!

Light green, standard shaped capsule, probably about 20 or so years old. Says Mutual 106 on capsule. ## Is it possibly light blue with the marking Mutual 105?

Going to the dentist tomorrow for teeth cleaning, and in the past have taken Kefex( Cephalexin ) 2000mg to prevent any chance of an infection. I am currently near the Mexican border, and have excess to a penicillin called Pota-Vi-Kin. Will this be as effective? ## They are both antibiotics that are used to treat, or prevent bacterial infections. But you should take the one that your doctor, or dentist feels is best for you. Why do you usually take one? Do you have a heart condition? The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including dizziness, headache, diarrhea, nausea, and non-allergic skin rash.

I found a white pill in capsule form with the number 802 printed on the top half. What is it? ## This tablet contains 500mgs of the antibiotic Cephalexin that is used to treat various types of infections. Learn more Cephalexin details here. The name brand for this would be Keflex and, in many cases, it's manufactured in capsule form, it isn't common to see the tablets. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Living in a small town and a drugstore that is really old but very nice and quaint, I'm wondering if the off brand of Keflex with a 802-Cephalexin on it and white capsule is the older one of the off brands or is it just as good as the red and green ones? Also it seems that it takes longer to get meds if needed. I live in the country and the closest pharmacy is 40 mile...

Hi. My doctor gave me a 5day course of betamox and each pill contains 250mg powder. Is it safe to have alcohol while u are on it.? Only 1 or 2 drinks? ## It is best not to drink while taking a prescription medication, since that could cause you to experience more severe side effects, than usual, according to NIH reports. They might include nausea, dizziness, headache, vomiting, and drowsiness. If your doctor does approve of your having a few drinks, please make sure you are not going to be driving or operating any potentially dangerous heavy machinery. Are you on any other medications?

Can i use penicilina pomada on a brown recluse spider bite ## Hi amy, Have you been able to determine if this is in fact the result of a spider bite or are you only assuming this based on the size/condition of the affected area? Reason I ask is because I don't think penicillin will be of any help to you unless the "bite" became infected; and in many cases these "bites" can often be mistaken for a staph infection. Furthermore, the pain and swelling brought on by a spider bite is generally the result of venom and not necessarily an infection, so it may be that need to go see a doctor first who can accurately diagnose the affected area in order to justify the use of an antibiotic with or without further treatment of an anti-venom as well. I hope this helps and wish you ...

I have been prescribed this for repeated UTI and am on a 56 day course. But three weeks in I too have intense itching. I take one tablet at night with some food or milk and two hours later the itching starts. I find ice packs on feet and hands help and have tried taking an antihistamine one hour before but this doesn't seem to help. I have resorted to taking one of my husbands amitriptyline which helps to calm things down, and is easier than standing in a bath or cold water whilst holding my hands under the freezing cold water tap !! Not fun. I also get a shortness of breath, like a tightness in my chest. I am waiting to hear back from my GP as to whether I should stop taking it. ## I think you should contact your doctor immediately, these could be the symptoms of an allergic reacti...
