Took zpack for viral infection but that did not help tooth ache can I take amoxicilin which I took before for tooth infection.?

Toothaches are most often caused by bacterial infections, not viruses. Zpack is not indicated for viral infections.Self-medicating is quite dangerous and can lead to more serious conditions. Amoxicillin may be the drug of choice to reduce a dental infection, but it does not prevent the infection from returning as soon as the antibiotic is finished. Only treating the underlying dental decay will stop the infection from returning. This requires the services of a licensed and competent dentist. Delaying treatment more often than not will lead to more expensive and complicated treatment.


Can you take amoxicillin and a zpack together?

Yes There are no direct drug interactions between these two antibiotics. Normally you would take azithromycin (Z-pak) daily in the morning for 5 days and amoxicillin 2 or 3 times daily for 10 days. They may be taken with or without food. Take them at the same times each day.


Does metronidazole affect depo provera?

It depends on the type of antibiotic. Very few medications decrease the effectiveness of Depo Provera, and they are not the most commonly used ones. The only antibiotics that can affect Depo Provera include certain medications for HIV, and griseofulvin. Contact your health care provider or pharmacist to see if the antibiotic will affect how well Depo Provera works.


Can you take a flu shot after Z pak?

There are no listed drug interactions or contraindications in taking that antibiotic or others at or around the same time as having a flu vaccination. However, depending on why you are taking an antibiotic, it may or may not be a good idea in your case. If you have an active bacterial infection (what Z pak is used for), then it may be better to wait until your immune system has overcome that problem before giving it a new problem to deal with in responding with immunity to a viral infection at the same time. If you have fever from your bacterial infection or other symptoms of acute bacterial infections, you should wait until the fever is gone before getting a flu shot. Your best decision for your situation can be made with the assistance and advice of the doctor who has prescribed the antibiotics.


Can use cefixime tooth infection?

You can use cefdinir for a tooth infection as it is a bacterial infection but it is what i would call over kill. We already have so many of antibiotic resistant bacteria out there and using this drug for a simple tooth infection could create another. Besides wouldn't you rather cefdinir work for you when you really need a drug of its magnitude for example pneumonia or bronchitis. Please save your cefdinir for something a bit more severe. Otherwise when you really need it to work because you are very sick then it wont work. Our bodies develope tolerances to all kinds of meds. Omnicef (cefdinir) is for strong infections. I understand you're in pain and I am in a lot of tooth pain myself at the moment and cefdinir is all i have to take. I will NOT take it though knowing that just like Zpacks (azithromycin) it will become less effective for me when I really need it. For Instance... When Zithromax (zpack,azithromycin) came out it was similar to omnicef in a sense because it was a very strong antibiotic that seemed to help with just about anything. Especially upper respiratory infections. Over the years it was over prescribed for many things. Now in patients that were commonly prescribed it for lesser infections the drug no longer works for the severe infections that it was created to fight in the first place. Please do not assist in making this antibiotic useless against the things it was intended to help cure. We are running out of good antibiotics like cefdinir to use in extreme illness cases. I recommend eugenol (clove oil) for pain & also if ur tooth has a hole in it they sell this stuff called dentek temperin temporary filling. You can buy it in a kit at walmart or your local pharmacy. The kit comes with eugenol and a putty that hardens into a temporary filling. Typically dentists dont like this stuff because when you are in that kind of pain you should see a dentist but if you are desperate and in nerve pain from a hole in your tooth then you can brush your teeth in warm water then add eugenol and a ball of the filling putty. In a few hours it hardens into a temporary filling and will subdue your pain until you can see your dentist. If the tooth is infected then call ur doc or dentist and ask for them to call you in some antibiotics like amoxicillin or eurythromycin. Most drs or dentists dont mind calling these simple broad spectrum antibiotics in until you can get into their office and get your tooth fixed or extracted. I hope that this was helpful to you and I pray that you are out of pain soon. God Bless
