Yes, it absolutely can. I have damaged kidneys as a result of penicillin usage particularly 'Flucloxacilline'. I am currently researching what this means for my case, but I have significant problems as a result, including headaches, dizziness and tiredness.

How do penicillin effect urine output?

Penicillin can affect urine output primarily by influencing kidney function. It is known to be excreted through the kidneys, and high doses may lead to increased urine output due to osmotic effects. Additionally, allergic reactions or side effects may cause changes in kidney function, potentially impacting urine production. However, in most cases, penicillin does not have a significant direct effect on urine output for the general population.


Can you drink alcohol when on penicillin?

If you are on penicillin and drinking alcohol then you should drink very minute servings as that and the penicillin can counter act with your kidneys and you could get kidney damage or even worse kidney failure.On a less fatalistic note - alcohol will reduce the effectiveness of your immune system, negating the beneficial effects of the penicillin. While renal damage IS possible, it is rare. Your best bet is to consult your doctor.

Is pencillin safe?

Penicillin is the safest of all the known antibiotics. The dose of penicillin used by Chan and Flory was only 5000 international units. Fortunately it worked. Normally half million dose of procaine penicillin will cover most of the susceptible infections. But one million penicillin G can be safely given two to three times a day to an adult in pneumonia. The maximum dose of penicillin given in meningitis is 24 million international units per day. Even the higher dose can be given with out any problem. The real problem is you give either the sodium or the potassium salt of the penicillin. Kidney gets load of excretion of that much sodium or potassium. That is 'the' beauty of penicillin. Penicillin is very safe. But there is one exception. Patient may get anaphylactic reaction at times. You have to manage it. Other wise the patient may die on the spot. The use of penicillin has practically stopped due to fear of anaphylactic reaction. Large number of patients die of not getting penicillin. Very few will die of the reaction. Doctors do not take the risk. That is correct. For this loss of lives the society and judiciary is responsible.

How does a kidney stone cause damage to the kidney?

A kidney stone can cause damage to the kidney primarily through obstruction of the urinary tract, leading to increased pressure within the kidney. This pressure can impair kidney function and potentially cause tissue damage. Additionally, if the stone causes inflammation or infection, it may further compromise the kidney's health. Over time, recurrent kidney stones can lead to chronic kidney disease.
