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 ...

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'm all out of Amoxicillin and have Pota-V-kin Penicillin V 800000U... Does this cure a UTI? Please help. ## Hi Juno, A study by the US National Institute of Health smugly describes Penicillin's efficacy against UTI's as being a rational choice. Source: NIH / PMC477226 However my research leads me to believe that Penicillin's efficacy may also be dependent upon the strain of bacteria that's causing the infection. Therefore it may be a good idea to have your doctor analyze the bacteria through whatever diagnostics are deemed appropriate, in order to ensure that taking Penicillin is indeed the best approach. If you're unable to get in to see a doctor, perhaps a local pharmacist could at least advise you on Penicillin's standard adult dosing protocols for a UTI....

What purpose does the potassium serve in this medicine ## Hello, Dennis! How are you? That's the chemical salt it is derived from, the actual chemical name for this medication is Phenoxymethylpenicillin. Though it isn't always listed in the name, or on the label by your pharmacy, all medications have an additional designation that shows the chemical salt they are derived from, such as hydrochloride. The FDA lists this as an antibiotic and the typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you very much I had a bit of a chemo brain moment there there is a lot of things I don't know but I ask about I understand now the purpose of the potassium

I think I may have syphilis due to a rash on my upper body nothing on palms or feet. would this medication help? ## Hello, Gary! How are you? I'm sorry about the rash. That doesn't meet the symptoms listed for Syphilis by the NIH. The first state is open sores and the second stage is the rash that also covers your palms and the soles of your feet. Penicillin is used to treat syphilis, since it is an antibiotic that's been shown to be effective against it. According to the FDA, it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. However, since this doesn't sound like syphilis, you really need to see your doctor to get a proper diagnosis and discover what the proper treatment would be. It might just be an allergic rash.
