I have cephalexin 500 mg from the year11/19/14 is it still good as I have no insurance. Can I still use it ## Hello, Elizabeth! How are you? If it is a pharmacy supplied bottle, or a container other than the original factory sealed one, then it expires on year from when it was dispensed to you, as noted by the FDA. It doesn't become toxic, once expired, but it does start to lose efficacy, so it may not work as well as it did, when new and may not completely eradicate infectious bacteria. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. It would be best to consult your doctor. Is there anything else I can help with? ## It's the 219 light green oblong shaped imprinted with the number 218 on both sides. Tha...

for what that people taken a godex capsule ## I was unable to retrieve a significant amount of information regarding Godex, due to it's production being outside of the US. Godex is a mixture of PMC (diphenyl-dimethyl-dicarboxylate) and Hepadif. Each of these ingredients have been used for managing chronic liver disease in Korea and other countries. Based on clinical trials I have researched, it is suggested that 6 capsules of Godex per day (PMC 150 mg + Hepadif 900 mg/per day) is the optimal dose for Korean patients with chronic liver disease who show elevated serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level. If you have any more questions or concerns, please post and I will be happy to assist you. ## my mother is taking this med and i want to know more about it.some said it's a vitam...

However, it would be best to see your doctor for a formal diagnosis and to have them prescribe an appropriate medication, if one is n...

Can you take cipro for a sore throat? ## Hello, Ed! How are you? Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic that is used to treat various types of bacterial infections, so it will only help, if the sore throat is caused by a bacterial infection. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## It sounds as if you might be trying to diagnose having an infection and taking an antibiotic without the help of a doctor. Please, in no case should you EVER take Cipro without a confirmed infection and a doctor's prescription. These drugs are extremely powerful and can be dangerous enough to cause lifelong disability. Please read the page on the Introduction to the Fluoroquinolone Anti...

I wish to know the use & side-effects of this drug. ## i wnt to know the pharmacology of ciprobay 500mg. thanks ## Ciprobay is an antibiotic in the Fluoroquinolone Class of antibiotics. You can see an 'Introduction to Fluoroquinolones' here and see why you should be extremely cautious about taking these drugs and be certain that your doctor is prescribing them for a confirmed infection that should be treated with the Fluoroquinolone antibiotics. These antibiotics have many 'black box' warnings on them, and should not be taken for 'presumed' infections, and should not be the first line antibiotic for 'simple' infections such as sinus infections or urinary tract infections.

I'm taking doxycycline 100mg (2/day for 10 days) to prevent infection from a sting ray encounter in SW Florida's gulf waters. Potential bacterium: Staph', Strep', Vibrio. I've read that recovery from this type of injury is long, slow, and often with set backs. I thought it was looking better after first 5 days, but then the ankle (site of puncture) has gotten more swollen & a bit warm. Ultrasound revealed NO barb. Only drainage was clear and just in first 2 days. Tomorrow is 10th day of antibiotic. Should I start another round or wait & see? I have 2 prosthetic hips - so I need to be careful of infection. Orthopedic doc says to culture drainage, if any happens, and adjust antibiotic to those results. ## Yes, they can be taken that way, if your doctor deems it...

It doesn't have to be taken at exactly precise intervals, but you should try to keep it as close to the 12 hour spacing as possible, from now on.

The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects of this antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.
