I have a skin problem and someone adviced me to get purbac tab,can they really work in clear my pimples? ## Hello, Lola! How are you? This is an antibiotic and they can sometimes help with acne, however, this isn't the one that's usually used. It would be best to see your doctor and let them prescribe something appropriate. Taking it, when you shouldn't be, creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria, which can be very dangerous. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headaches, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

My son was perscribe Purbac, 12.5 suppositories and smecta. He is only 8months old and I am feeling unsure about giving him the purbac and suppositories because purbac is for kids between 6 and 12 and the suppositiries said from 2years.

I'm having a brown discharge and the doctor gave me doxytet and purbac, but they are making me feel weak and I vomit. What might be wrong? ## The brown discharge is usually due to old blood that wasn't expelled during your last period and it can be normal to experience a few days of it, after your period. Alternatively, you're natural hormonal balance may be off and that may meed rectifying. Have you consulted a gynecologist? The medications you have ben prescribed are classified by the FDA as antibiotics and the side effects you've experience are normal. You may also experience dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

I DISCOVERED LAST NIGHT I HAVE SHINGLES OUTBREAK JUST ON THE RIGHT SIDE FROM NEXT TO MY NAVEL UP UNTIL MY MIDDLE BUT LUCKILY NOT STILL NOT AROUND MY BACK WILL PURBAC 500MG HELP? ACNE STARTED COMING ON AND I AM 54 NOW WILL IT HELP TO CLEAR IT UP? ## Hello, Rissa! How are you? No, an antibiotic will not help with Shingles, since that is caused by a virus. What have you tried for the acne? If it's due to hormonal fluctuations, which are very common at your age, an antibiotic likely won't help it, either. What has your doctor advised you to use?

I'm. On purbac now one month for my skin, it looks very clean and clear so great, but I've. Since develop extreme constipation, even with normal meds for that, its still very heavy and almost nothing helps. I'm not allergic to anything, is it possible that purbac can cause it as acc to the side effects its normally the opposite nl diarea? ## Hello, Anna! How are you? Yes, there are occasions where a medication may cause the opposite of its normal side effects in some people. Have you tried just adding more fiber to your diet? That's what I found always helped me most, just a fiber supplement, rather than any of the medications.
