oval shaped pink with /4 ZE ## Im just wondering if erythrom eth is a form of penicillin, or augmentin. So basically my question is what exactly is erythrom eth and whats in it? ## I was prescribed Erythrom Eth for an ear infection, it seems to give me a heavy freeling in my chest almost like a misplaced gas feeling.

My mother in law gave meths told me it would help with bladder infection is it ok to take this and tan in the tanning bed also does it contain penicillin ## Although it doesn't appear to be listed as a side effect on most webpages, photosensitivity is actually quite common in patients taking Lupin 500 (Cephalexin 500mg). Statistics show that 33% of males and 66% of females experience this side effect when taking Cephalexin. Ref: ehealthme.com/ds/cephalexin/photosensitivity+reaction That said, it's difficult to say whether or not it's safe for you to go tanning for any significant period of time. I would probably suggest playing it safe, but also would encourage you to listen to your body if you do decide to continue tanning. Maybe just do a few minutes at a time so you can m...

would Penicilina V Potasica be ok to use for a sinus infection ## Hi Ron, Based on my research, Penicillin V is used in the treatment of bacterial infections. If your sinus infection is caused by bacteria, then yes, it could work. However, I have read that sinus infections are usually caused by a virus, and in that case the medication would most likely have no effect. I would seek the advice of your doctor if you try the Penicillin V and nothing happens. If I can recommend anything else, it would be to make sure you avoid mucus-forming foods such as: flour products, eggs, chocolate, fried and processed foods, sugar and dairy products. Those foods would very likely aggravate the sinus infection. Also, drink a lot of water with fresh squeezed lemon. The alkalinity of the water along with ...

This looks like penicillin but it has nothing on the reverse side. It is white and round. It has PVK in capitals, a bevelled score through the middle and 250 under the lineN, but there is nothing at all on the back. ## If you've been searching the pill identifiers online, those are mostly only relevant to the U.S. and since that's not where you are located, this one wouldn't be listed in them. However, with that marking, from what I can find, it is indeed a 250mg Penicillin tablet, that's used to treat various types of infections. Learn more Penicillin details here. However, you can also double check this information with a pharmacy, just to be sure. Where did you find it?

can I'm allergic to penicillin. can I take his medicine? ## This is a Mexican brand name for the antibiotic Erythromycin and it is often used to treat infections in people that are allergic to the Penicillin class of antibiotics. Learn more Erythromycin details here. However, that doesn't rule out the possibility of your being allergic to it, as well, because an allergic reaction to something is always possible. And generally, if someone has had a bad reaction to one medication, they will eventually find a few more that they are also allergic to. What type of infection are you trying to treat?

I have a bacterial pink eye infection. can i use this to get rid of it? if so what is the dosage? ## Hi melinda, Pota-Vi-Kin is a foreign brand name of Penicillin. I'm not sure what dosage of it you have there, but pink eye is almost always viral in origin; meaning that antibiotics won't have any effect on it anyways, since they are only good for bacterial infections and not viruses. (So only if you had a really rare pink eye from susceptible bacteria would this be effective). Have you tried any natural remedies or other medications yet?
