Can two antibiotics be used at the same time? My husband was prescribed Metronidazole 250mg (1pill 3x's a day) and Clindamycin 150mg (2 pills -3x's a day) for a foot infection. ## Those both aren't actually in the same classification. The Clindamycin is an antibiotic, but the Metronidazole is actually an antifungal medications. They are commonly used together, because many people on antibiotics end up getting yeast infections as a side effect. Learn more: ## Can clindamycin be used with azithromycin 250mg?

I chipped my front tooth a while back and now it is killing me. I have taken any and everything I could think of but nothing works. I do have the antibiotic cephalexin but still nothing. ## Hello, Tamika! How are you? How long did you take the antibiotic? It usually requires 7 to 10 days, though you should get some relief in after 3 days of dosing. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. However, the only long-term solution is to see your dentist and have the problem corrected. Even if the antibiotic clears up any infection that's present, it will just keep returning, if you don't have the tooth taken care of. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have very bad teeth. I have missing tee...

How long does it take foe levofloxacin to get out of your system? ## Hello, Tammy! How are you? The FDA classifies this as an antibiotic and lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Did you have a bad reaction to it? It may take about 2 weeks, after you stop taking it, for things to settle down and to feel more normal. ## Hi Tammy, Levofloxacin gets out of your system very quickly... just a few days to a week at the most. If you are experiencing problems from Levaquin, it's because they actually can lead to cellular and DNA damage. This damage is still there even when the drug is out of your system, in the same way that if you spilled acid on your hand, the damage to your skin would still be there even if ...

I was hospitalized for 3 days (Aug. 28th-31st) due to gastro/diarrhea. In the hospital the doctor gave me the following: 1. Seven vials of Erceflora 2. Three (100ml) vials of Levofloxacin 500mg 3. Four tabs of (40mg) Omeprazole. Because I felt itchiness on Levofloxacin, the doctor gave me 2 (500mg) tabs of Metronidazole. For home medication the doctor prescripted the following: 1. Metronidazole - 3x5 days = 15 2. Omeprazole - 1x5 days = 5 3. Erceflora - 3x3 days = 9 I feel dizzy, sometimes vomiting. I don't feel normal just yet. I already consumed the following take-home medications: 1. Metronidazole - 10 (5 left) 2. Omeprazole - 3 (2 left) 3. Erceflora - 5 (4 left) Can I stop or discontinue taking the medicine? Please help! Thanks.

I have a strecthing feeling in both my heels which gives me somewhat of a gait when I walk. It makes me walk slower. I never felt this before. There was nothing wrong with my walking. Please! ## Have you consulted a doctor? Only a medical professional is going to be able to help you discover what is causing the problem and to discover a solution. I am not certain what you are referring to as a stretching feeling. Levofloxacin is not likely to help, since it is just an antibiotic that is used to treat infections.

Is Betamox 500mg safe for swollen ang painful gums? ## Hello, Based on my research, Betamox contains Amoxicillin which is an antibiotic. It is meant to be used for bacterial infections including but limited to: acute otitis media, streptococcal pharyngitis, pneumonia, skin infections, urinary tract infections, salmonella, lyme disease, and chlamydia infections. I would not use this medication to treat swollen and painful gums. If you mix a pinch of salt with warm water and rinse out your mouth with it twice a day, it should help to increase blood circulation in the gums and reduce swelling. I recommend using pink Himalayan salt or sea salt, I wouldn't use table salt unless it's all you have available. Do you know why your gums are swollen? Are you taking any medications that cou...

I was given the above Ceftin for a UTI that another antibiotic did not clear. I had severe diarrhea for a day now have severe muscle tightness from my head down to my feet with pain. When I try to stretch, I get pins and needles. I stopped taking. When will it be created and muscles loosened. I can hardly walk, as lower back is tight , and it radiates down my butt to my leg. What can I do? How can I get relief? ## Those can be normal side effects of this medication, according to NIH reports. Unfortunately, the only thing that is going to help them go away is time. Have you informed your doctor? If an infection is being treated, you will most likely need to switch to a different antibiotic to fully eradicate it. Are you on any other medications? ## cefuroxime creates same problem which t...

I am 70 years old and was likely infected by 2 people coughing in a 1 1/2 hr bus ride in Cuba (poor recycled air). I got a sore throat within 24 hr then, laryngitis & cough for last 8 days & saw the ER MD in FL. Told them I am allergic to Penicillin and have Asthma. Can I continue the Rx & can I take Claritin for my allergies (mold, pollen, dust etc)? Is topical Aloe gel ok for a rash since the rash is systemic? Or should I go back to the ER for a different Rx? Is ok to go in Sun w/ spf 50? I don't recall if Amox was ever prescribed in my life as I always take Tetracycline or Cipro for other infections. ## I didn't find any interactions listed between these medications, but it is always best to double check to be sure. As to topical aloe, that is usually okay, since ...
