The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Are you sure your doctor told you to take them both? What other medications are you taking? How severe was the bite?

I had a throat infection and chest infection coming on and because I'm travelling I always take some procain penicillin shots with me as they help me recover quickly and faster than the orals. I've used them for about 15 years when I needed to. But this time is life changing and no one understands. I'm hoping there is someone this happened to, to talk to. As soon as I had the shot which was administered into my upper bottom hip area (same spots for years) as soon as pin out I had a rush of blood go through my body to my head, then a ringing sensation in my ears, then felt dizzy and lost all orientation, followed by very very fast heart beats and then loss of breathing. I fell backwards on the bed and started yelling "get me help, I'm dying!" Then I felt like I wa...

I started on amoxicillin 875mg for 4 days, then switched to levofloxacin 750mg for 3 days. Is it safe to go back to amoxicillin? ## Why do you want to switch, again? It really depends on the nature and severity of the infection being treated, so you should take the one your doctor has prescribed for you. The FDA lists the typical antibiotics side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash.

I do not have access to any other antibiotic at the moment but do have some nitrofurantoin. Will it help with what looks like an infection from a cut on my leg? ## It might not, since this one is usually used mainly to treat urinary tract infections. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Have you consulted a medical professional? They should be able to prescribe something that will help and work better for you. Are you on any other medications?

Is Spin SP good for numbness in my feet or not? I seem to have weakened nerves in my feet. ## According to the site 1mg, the drug SPIN appears to contain Sparfloxacin 200 mg manufactured by Lancer Health Care Pvt Ltd. Does that information appear on your prescription label? If so, then it is an antibiotic, so I am not sure if it will help with neurological issues, unless a bacterial infection is the underlying cause. Otherwise, if this does not appear to be the same drug that I am talking about, can you please reply back with the ingredients listed on the label? Also, what has your doctor told you?

If pencillin tablets are kept in fridge and have the gel pac in the bottle, how long will they be good for. My mom has some that have a 2010 date and says they should be okay since kept in fridge. I understand they will have lost some of their potency but will they be toxic? We have both used her antibiotics before past expiration and they worked fine but it has been awhile since I used them and the date has gotten older. ## No, they do not become toxic, but they may have lost most of their efficacy, especially since they were stored in the refrigerator. According to FDA regulations, not only is that too cold for pills, it also creates the risk of moisture increasing how the rate of their degradation. At this point, it would be best to dispose of them, and if an antibiotic is needed, yo...

I found in my little sisters room, it is a white oval pill with the number 93 on one side and the numbers 5195 on the other side. ## The pill you're describing is 500 mg Penicillin V, antibiotic. Brand Name: V-Cillin K® ## What is the name for a pill that is white and oval with 19 on one side and plain on the other? ## Jarred - I don't have a 100% match for you, but I did find a pill with similar markings. There is a round white pill with RE on one side and 19 on the other. This is Atenolol 25mg, used to treat high blood pressure. Does this sound like what you have?

Hi, pls I need ur help very urgently. I think am having toilet disease cos my private part is itching me and whitish mucus is coming out. Also, I'm suppose to start my period yesterday but I couldn't start it, although I had unprotected intercourse wit my partner 2wks ago....My question now is dat, is it an infection dat has affected my period or am I pregnant? ## Hello, Whitney! How are you? I can't answer as to whether or not you're pregnant, the only way to know that is by checking for pregnancy. However, as to your other symptoms, what you've described are listed by the NIH as being the typical symptoms of a yeast infection and, if that's what it is, you'll need an antifungal medication to treat it. Have you consulted your doctor? ## I'm 33 years old ...

It is commonly used to treat these, however, there is no way to say for certain if it will help with yours. It really depends on what is causing the problem.

What is the recommended dosage for a gastrointestinal infection? ## Oflaxacin with Ornidazole vs Levofloxacin with Ornidazole - which combination is better for Gastrointestinal infections? ## I'm not really certain that either is better than the other, because a lot of it is going to depend on the specific type of infection being treated and the person's response to any given antibiotic. One may work better than the other for one person, but not the next. Learn more Ofloxacin details here. Learn more Levofloxacin details here. Learn more Ornidazole details here.

Does anyone know where I could get prescribed samples of this medicine? My dr. had enough for me to last 4 days and I'm supposed to take 3 pills a day for 14 days. I need 30 more pills. I live in Dallas, Texas. Please help. The cost for me to get this med is 400.00 with my insurance which is out of reach for me. ## Hi Bella, You could try asking your doctor for samples. Sometimes doctors carry sample packets of the medications they most often prescribe when they're given them directly from the manufacturer's drug representative to offer to prospective patients. Also, if your doctor prescribed a 14 day course of treatment, I don't see why they would only write you a prescription for 4 days? I think there definitely needs to be an open line of communication between you and...

I just had jaw surgery and developed staph infection (red blotchey acne like white heads) on my chin. I've had this before and taken Bactrim for it in the past. However I've been prescribed 1 pill twice a day for a week. I'm half way through my prescription and I don't see any improvement. Any suggestions? Will it work eventually? ## Hello, Simone! How are you? Has there been any improvement, yet? The general rule with antibiotics is that if they are working, you shouldn't see any worsening after being on them for a full 24 hours and you should start to see improvement after taking them for a full 3 days. If there is no improvement after that time, then you should consult your doctor. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this antibiotic as possibly including nau...

yellow oval tablet ## This is Clarithromycin 500mgs, a generic for Biaxin, this is an antibiotic. ## i was given this for a sinus infection. side effects include this odd taste in the mouth. you take it twice a day (with food) and the taste lasts for as long as you take the pills. ## Yes, that is a common side effect of many antibiotics, as well as many other meds. The worst one I have had is Lunesta, the sleep med, it is awful and you just can't get rid of that nasty taste in your mouth. ## I have taken this for a sinus infection several times. Best thing for it! Hoping to provide perhaps a bit of help on the bad taste subject. Yes, Clarithromycin can give a bad taste in the mouth.
