Can dental work be done while using methotrexate?
methotrexate will make you more prone to infections and that includes the gums and area around the teeth. I have been on Methotrexate for several years now 10 mg weekly along with 5mg folic acid daily and have had very little trouble from that area. It is best however to keep in front of anything that may feel like it could start to infect because it take longer to get rid of the problem then it used to.
Is penicillin and yeast allergy linked?
Yes. It is very common to get yeast infections while taking antibiotics. While these specific medicines are great at doing their job killing bacteria in other parts of your body, they can cause problems in other parts. The "good bacteria" in the vagina- bacteria that helps keep the natural yeast levels in your body regulated can be destroyed while taking antibiotics, which allows the yeast to then multiply and cause yeast infections.
