Mexican Penicillin

I am in Merida Mexico, I do not speak Spanish. I have developed a boil. In Canada I have been prescribed Flucloxacillin and Cephalexin at differing times in the past. What would that be called in Spanish? Is it available? ## just in case anyone else finds themselves in this odd and most unlikely position. I went to a Dr. who was trained in the U.S. he told me that Mexico does not have antibiotics of that type or strength. He prescribed POSIPEN which is Dicloxacilina.. a form of penicillin. One every 10 hours for 7 days.

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?

hispanic antibiotic penicillin substitue??? ## what is ampitrexyl for ## Hi, I've been ill with cough and sore throat symptoms so far the medication that I've been taking has somewhat reduced it, but doesn't go away. A family member gave me these capsules by the name of Ampitrexyl 500 mg, a Mexican natural herb antibiotic. I'm allergic to penicillin would this herb contain penicillin? Thanks. Albert ## It does not contain any penicillin. If you are on blood pressure medicine or blood thinners do not take as it can lower blood pressure and thin blood. There is info on the main ingredient andrographis/andrographitis on WebMD. Hope it helps. ## Estoy usando ampitrexyl desde hace 6 días,tengo tos con flema, no me ha dado ningún resultado positivo este medicamento,e...

Going to the dentist tomorrow for teeth cleaning, and in the past have taken Kefex( Cephalexin ) 2000mg to prevent any chance of an infection. I am currently near the Mexican border, and have excess to a penicillin called Pota-Vi-Kin. Will this be as effective? ## They are both antibiotics that are used to treat, or prevent bacterial infections. But you should take the one that your doctor, or dentist feels is best for you. Why do you usually take one? Do you have a heart condition? The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including dizziness, headache, diarrhea, nausea, and non-allergic skin rash.

I bought some Penicillin from a friend who came from Mexico with the tittle Penicilina Penimina 500mg, but I have been searching for this Arantiz Pharmaceuticals all over the internet and it does not provide any results, the lab address on the bottle, after I google it, shows what looks like a home in at Calle Teotihuacan 1585, Pinar de la Calma, 45080 Zapopan, Jal., Mexico, can anyone confirm if this is an actual pharmaceutical company in Mexico? ## Mexico really does not regulate their medications, like the U.S., and Canada, so unfortunately, there is no way to be sure what you have actually received. I did find them listed on various Mexican mail order pharmacy sites, but that's all I can really tell you about them. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this antibiotic as pos...

We used to be able to get this for use with infections and cuts.Very effective. is it availa ble for purchase? ## From what I'm able to gather, Sulfathiazole Penicillin ointment is primarily sold in Mexico and seldom found in the U.S. Another user on this site mentioned that: "I found it possible to purchase it in any state of mexico at any pharmacy in the city. You will almost always find it at a pharmacy in tijuana. It is very common." Because it is not readily available in the U.S. I recommend searching online under various mexican-based drug stores, as that is probably your best bet, aside from actually going to Mexico to pick some up. I hope this helps! ## Could this use on if u have a Virginia iche

What is it this medication for people are telling me is for lossing weight. Is it? ## No, this is a Mexican medication that is listed as containing a vitamin B complex and Diclofenac. The FDA classifies Diclofenac as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and/or swelling. Its typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. And actually, long-term use of it could cause fluid retention and weight gain.

I have an oral infection my wisdom teeth are coming out and I got the infection on my right side me. My mom gave me Penicilina v 800,000 u. Will that work? ## Hi Justine, In my personal experience, penicillin should work just fine for tooth infections and may keep the infection under control until you see your dentist... However, I think the only permanent solution would be getting the infected teeth out so the bacteria doesn't come back. Also, my opinion is that you'd probably need to take a full course of the antibiotic (7-10 days) to determine how well it's working. Have you discussed any of this with your dentist yet? ~Best wishes ## I have Mexican penicillin a-v, bottom letters are prolate-v 8000,000 unix adds. Each capsule contains 500mg.

I would like to know how many a day can I take?My toothache is very bad. I have swollen gums and my tooth is chipped. The pill I have is the Mexican one. And for how long do I take them? Or should I just go and get my tooth out? What do u recommend? ## Hello, Cielo! How are you? This is an antibiotic, so while it may help with an infection, if one is present, it will not help with the underlying issue that's caused the infection, such as the chipped tooth, so yes, you do need to see a dentist for a proper treatment. Side effects to this medication may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. What is the dosage as listed on the packaging? What you've stated in the subject line isn't very clear. ## Hello... Can I buy penicillin over the counter or does i...

I see many people are searching for Penicilina Pomada or Sulfatiazol con Penicilina! We are all asking the same question: Where can I find some? I have used it for many years and it cost only 50 cents when I got it in Mexico!! Does ANYONE have the answer? ## HI, Marti! How are you? I'm very sorry, but formations of Penicillin can only be obtained in the U.S. via a prescription from your doctor. The reason for this is due to overuse and improper use, which creates the risk of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria, a problem that has become more and more prevalent and dangerous.
