REPORT

So I've been taking the Calvepen tablets for 6 days now and have had headaches and stomach pains non stop. Also, my period is a week late and I don't know if the antibiotic could have something to do with it?

What is the dose? Most people you see here are probably on one tab three times daily at a dose of 666mg per tablet. You might be taking 2 333mg tablets 3 times daily which is why you would be on six per day. Look at the box and see if they are 333mg tabs! If they are 666mg per tab speak to your pharmacist as they may have given you the wrong dosage instructions. Hope this helps!

prescribed these for very swollen glans and strepc throat. i have to take 1 tablet 4 times a day for 7 days. i am on my last day now, and teh tablets took a few dys to kick in. however my throat is fine now. i did not suffer any side effects except for being a bit more tired than ususal. i would advise to take a natural supplement such as acidophilus as this helps maintain teh good bacteria as an antio biotic will kill both good and bad bacteria and thsi si why you may feel wrecked after taking them . i found taking acidophilus has helped keep my strength up and i have so far avoided developing thrush which i would normally suffer from while takign an antibiotic.

I have Acute Tonsillitis breaking out in major fever's etc.
still i was perscribed the same medication but only to be taken twice - three time's a day at most.. Seems your on a extreamly high doseage this may be the cause of the side effects.. Maybe you should consult your Doctor again with mentioning the side effects

My daughter was prescribed Calvepen a few weeks ago for an upper respiratory infection. She didn’t start then as she got better, but now she seems to have a chest infection. Could she start the antibiotics now? We don’t want another visit to the gp.

Re: Shivers (# 45)

Sorry to hear about your daughter's reoccurring infections. Calvepen (penicillin) can in fact be used to treat upper respiratory infections. So if this is what was prescribed for her previous upper respiratory infection then I don't see why she wouldn't be able to take it again for the same type of infection. Bacterial resistance is usually caused by only partially treating an infection with antibiotics and not fully eradicating it the first time around. But since she didn't take Calvepen the first time, this should be a non-issue in my own personal opinion.

Do you happen to have any updates on how things went?

Re: ANNE B (# 8)

I finished a 10 day course this a.m. of 666 mg -taking 4 every 6 hrs and taken 1 hr before meals. Given for tonsillitis. Did feel tired but I think tonsillitis causes tiredness. Noticed yesterday that my tongue was sore in one spot with no memory of biting it while eating. This morning I could feel a small lump in my tongue which is why I googled for any side-effects of this drug. I suspect the lump is a side effect caused by the build-up of the antibiotic, and hopefully will subside.

These tablets done nothing for my throat, I had to take a trip back the doctors and I prescribed Klacid Forte 500MG tabs. These seem to be working, still have two days to go.

On these tablets 4 a day for an initial 7 days but could be extended for a second week I was told. They were subscribed for tolsillities, swollen glands and general flu like symptoms. Took about 12hours before they began to kick in. On them 3 days now and glad to say they are working. Am tired but have no dizziness!

Rachel-- count out how many pills you have total. If taking them 6 times a day equals less than 5 days, it might be wrong. I'm not a doctor, but 6 seems like a lot.

Have also been prescribed them, 4 a day for 5 days. This is my third antibiotic in a month and a half. The doctor refuses to give me an antibiotic for more than 5 days, and I swear that's why I'm still sick. Does anyone else think 5 days is a little short?

This medication is unavailable in the U.S. and I am sorry to say that other countries do not regulate their prescription drugs as strictly as the FDA does. That said, finding information on them is very difficult, since there are no databases which list them all, like there are for U.S. prescription drugs.

The only thing I can suggest is that you try asking your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
