Amoxici

Can you drink alcohol while taking this medication? ## I'm not that sure, but I wouldn't take the chance. talk to your doctor ## Since alcohol is a blood thinner, it will effect how fast the drug moves through and then out of your body, making it so you might not receive the correct dosage, for instance, if you are supposed to take 2 a day, but you drink alcohol, you could end up with a med that lasts only 9 or 10 hours, instead of the 12 it should, which could affect how the drug works for you. This can also vary depending on how much alcohol you drink and your own metabolism, so it is always better to stay away from it when you are on a prescription medication.

I have bad kidneys, plus Parkinsons disease, plus have had both knee replaced. I took Amoxicilina 2000mg daily for two years straight. I never felt better, I lost 75 lbs. quite couldn't figure out whyI was losing all this weight all of a sudden then I decided it was time to go off the pills, within three months I gained 50 lbs and started feeling terrible. What is the catch? ## Amoxicillin is nothing more than an antibiotic and that is a very high dosage and a very long time to be taking it. Why were you on it for so long? It should also not cause weight loss, like that. Have you spoken to your doctor about this?

Can an infected tatoo be treated with amoxicillin ## Hi sunny, To answer your question, Amoxicillin can be used to treat "certain" skin infections. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. However I'd still recommend having it checked out by a doctor to make sure that you're using the most appropriate treatment option at the correct dosage and duration. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Amoxicillin Details I hope this helps!

what is the shelf life of amoxicillin 45 ## These contain 500mgs of Amoxicillin and, if they have been dispensed in a pharmacy bottle, then the normal shelf life is 1 year from when you had it filled. After that year, they start to lose effectiveness. If they are in the original factory sealed container, their shelf life may be longer. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Could you please provide a citation that shows there is a minimum of one year of shelf life after the prescription is filled?

While using amoxicilana 500 mg, can I take Alchahol or Wine ## Hi, Mathew! How are you? Alcohol can cause worse side effects than usual, so you may experience more severe dizziness or drowsiness than normal. Learn more Amoxicillin details here. That means that one drink will likely affect you as if you'd had 2 and so on. It's best not to imbibe, while taking it, but if you feel must, make sure with your doctor that it's safe for you to do so and be careful not to drive or operate heavy machinery. Are there any other questions or concerns?

I have a prescription for amoxicillin 875 mg twice a day for uti.. It upsets my stomach a bit so I wondered if I can break them in half and take them 4 times a day. Maybe it will help with my stomach irritation. ## Hello, Sixcharm! How are you? No, it would be best to take them as prescribed, but you can try taking them with a meal, rather than on an empty stomach. Just avoid dairy foods, which can sometimes affect the absorption of some medications. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

Have oral Amoxicillin that was my son's. Can I take it. ## HI, Annette! How are you? Why do you want to take it? You really didn't provide enough details for anyone to be able to answer your question and there are several issues at play. Has the presence of an infection been confirmed by your doctor? Because Amoxicillin is an antibiotic that will only treat bacterial infections. Learn more Amoxicillin details here. Additionally, if it's what's leftover from your son's prescription, you may not have enough to complete a full course of treatment, which creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistance bacteria. That's why you're always supposed to finish all of the antibiotic that you've been prescribed, to ensure that the bacteria is fully eradicat...

My son has a horrible cough for days now following an up and down temp. I have a few 500mg of Amoxicillin capsules from my recent dental root canal fun times. Is it alright for me to break the capsule and put a small dosage into his juice/food? He gets bad anxiety at the doctors office I'd like to spare him the upset if it's something I can take care of at home. ## Hello, Ally! How is your son doing? No, that's never a good idea. He may not have an infection, if he does this may not be the appropriate antibiotic to treat it, you could end up giving him too much or too little.. there are just too many risks involved. It would be best to see his doctor for a proper diagnosis and prescription, if necessary. The FDA classifies this medication as being an antibiotic and it's ...

I have been prescribed Amoxicillin Tr K Clv and after four days, I have a bad case of diarrhea, so bad that I can't control loosing my diarrhea, as a result, I will not take the rest of the pills. Should I contact my doctor?? ## Yes, because if you have an infection, it does need to be properly treated. Diarrhea, however, is a normal side effect of most antibiotics and usually sets in after a few days of treatment, once they start working. Have you contacted your doctor, yet?

I started taking my antibiotic and percocets 10 is there any problem taking them on da same day ## Hello, Luis! How are you? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between these two medications, but it's always best to double check to be sure. However, I can also tell you that these are often prescribed together, to treat an infection and the associated pain. The FDA lists the typical side effects of antibiotics as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Percocet is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?
