What Is Pen

I was at clinical this week and my client had a low urine output from the previous 8 hour shift (100ml/ 8hrs). I heard the nurses report and pentaspan was mentioned. I didn't ask at the time because I didn't want to sound dumb, but what the heck does pentaspan actually do? I'm pretty sure it increases urine output, but having a hard time researching this drug and figuring out exactly what it does, and how it works on the body. Can anyone explain? ## The information available on it is very limited and it really hasn't been shown to have any benefit over other choices, but you can find some details under Pentastarch. Learn more Pentastarch details here. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can it cure scalp condition? ## Hi Luis, Pentrexyl contains the active ingredient Ampicillin, which is an antibiotic that's used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. Depending on the cause of your scalp condition and whether there's an actual infection present, this medication may be beneficial. However you'd ultimately have to have your scalp examined first in order to be sure you aren't taking an antibiotic for no real reason. Have you seen a doctor about this? If so, what did s/he say?

I have a really bad sinuses problem for the past month. Allergies I believe trigger this problem. My eyes itch and get watery, my nose drains clear liquid all of the time.

Can i use penicilina pomada on a brown recluse spider bite ## Hi amy, Have you been able to determine if this is in fact the result of a spider bite or are you only assuming this based on the size/condition of the affected area? Reason I ask is because I don't think penicillin will be of any help to you unless the "bite" became infected; and in many cases these "bites" can often be mistaken for a staph infection. Furthermore, the pain and swelling brought on by a spider bite is generally the result of venom and not necessarily an infection, so it may be that need to go see a doctor first who can accurately diagnose the affected area in order to justify the use of an antibiotic with or without further treatment of an anti-venom as well. I hope this helps and wish you ...

Allergic to penicillin does Azitromicina contain any? ## Hi alton, Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It does NOT contain any Penicillin, nor is it related to Penicillin. Azithromycin is actually a derivative of Erythromycin, so as long as you aren't allergic to Erythromycin as well, it seems to me that you shouldn't have any problems. Here is a study from The US National Library of Medicine for added validation, discussing the safety of Azithromycin in patients who have a known allergy to Penicillin: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8001336 I hope this helps!
