What do culture and sensitivity target?
Culture and sensitivity testing is typically used to identify the type of organism causing an infection (culture) and determine which antibiotics are most effective in treating the infection (sensitivity). This helps doctors prescribe the most appropriate antibiotic to effectively treat the infection.
How Cefixime is better than amoxicillin?
I can't tell you scientifically, but I've taken ampicillin, which has the same, a little bit milder side effects than amoxicillin. and I've also taken cefixime, and cefixime had NO side effects on me whatsoever. and it worked well. ampicillin made me feel mentally confused and tired and darn nauseous.
so if you're wondering what to take - i wouldn't give it a thought - would take cefixime over amoxicillin any day, because after all they both work on the same (wide) range of bacteria!
Are there some situations in which such regulations would be more appropriated than others?
Yes, regulations may be more appropriate in industries that pose significant risks to public health or the environment, such as pharmaceuticals or nuclear energy. They may also be needed in industries with natural monopolies or where market failures occur, necessitating government intervention to protect consumers. Additionally, regulations may be more necessary in situations where industries have shown a lack of self-regulation or ethical behavior.
Can an allergist test for sensitivity to lidocaine?
I had a reaction to Lidocaine at a dentist visit and then during a mole removal. My doctor had me tested at an allergist. I was tested with diluted pure lidocaine and found to be allergic. You can be tested but according to my allergist it has to be on the pure drug, not a name brand because they contain other substances.
Allergy to Local anesthetics is extremely rare. Allergic reactions often present as rash and hives, but can be serious causing airway problems including swelling of the throat, tongue, and spasm of the airways of the lungs leading to wheezing and shortness of breath. Cardiovascular collapse and death are the worst senario.
It is very common for people who have a "reaction" from local anesthesia in the dentist office to mistake the reaction for a lidocaine or novocaine allergy when in fact the reaction is due to epinephrine(adrenalin) which these anesthetics often include, designed to decrease bleeding and prolong the length of anesthesia. The reaction to epinephrine is caused by it's absorption into the bloodstream. The reactions commonly associated with this include anxiety, rapid heart beat, palpitations, changes in blood pressure, and shortness of breath.
Local anesthetics may also contain preservatives which may cause reactions as well.
Testing for lidocaine allergy can be done. Contact an allergist.
Just like humans, animals can be allergic to some medications. Cats are particularly sensitive to the side effects from medications. Just like humans, they can itch, become nauseated, vomit, or have diarrhea from many types of meds, especially antibiotics like Clavamox.
Interesting fact: Most meds that humans use can be used in cats and dogs. BUT a vet needs to order the kind of med and the dose per pound of the animal.
Does amoxicillin cause constipation in cats?
Constipation is not a side effect of Clavamox. Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite are possible though.
Can you give your cat amoxicillin 500 mg?
Amoxycillin for veterinary use usually comes as a powder, which reconstitutes to 50mg of amoxycillin per 1ml of medicine. Standard veterinary dose for any cat seems to be 1ml (50mg) per dose, two doses a day.
However, no medicine should ever be administered to a cat without veterinary advice. There are many medicines which are harmful or fatal to cats, which are largely harmless to people; something added to human-grade amoxycillin which is harmless to us, may be a problem for cats because of their differing metabolism.
Can you give amoxicillin to chickens?
I guess the minimum dosage if the pain is unbearable for the chicken, in all probabilities it should be avoided as there could be after effects on the chicken which invariably could affect the person/s having that or such chicken/s which have been injected with this drug! My personal opinion do not give .
Can you take penicillin after amoxicillin?
yes complete penicillin then yes you can take penicillin after. in other words, They can be taken in consecutive time periods but not each pill at the same time.
Pretty sure this is right answer but not 100% positive.
What are the side effects for Hydromorphone for dog?
Hydromorphone is typically only used in the veterinary clinic due to both its controlled substance status as well as the need to administer it via injection. Side effects can include lowered heart rate and respiratory rate (which may be confounded by the decreased rate due to relief of pain), drooling, panting, whining, lethargy and torpor. Some breeds, such as Greyhounds, tend to be very sensitive to the side effects of hydromorphone, so it is not recommended for use in those breeds.
Can your ten year-old take amoxicillin 875 mg?
Ask your physician. People like you make me sick ... literally. The fact that you even have amoxicillin around to make this question relevant is why we have things like MRSA.
If you are not prescribed an antibiotic, do not take one.
If you are prescribed an antibiotic, take all of it exactly as prescribed. Don't stop when you "feel better," because ... again ... that's how we get resistant strains of bacteria running around.
How much amoxicillin can a 80 lb dog take?
I need help. I have an 80lb dog and I need to buy amoxicillin what will be the doseage should i get him?
Why do doctors prescribe amoxicillin instead of penicillin for tonsiitis?
amoxicilin is a semi-synthetic form of penicillin. After
the penicillin is extracted, some of it is converted to amoxicillin. penicillin is primarily for gram+
bacteria while amoxicillin is effective against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria.Amoxicillin is better absorbed than penicillin as it can withstand the acidity of stomach juice better than penicillin releasing more antybiotics in to blood stream.
Can antibiotic amoxicillin make menstrual bleeding?
It is not so. I never came across the any such information about the amoxicillin.
How do you get rid of toxics in your body?

What it the effect of drinking alcohol on amoxicillin?
There are no particular side effects to drinking alcohol with Amoxicillin, which is a penicillin based antibiotic.
Like all antibiotics, it is best taken on an empty stomach and suggested that it is taken some time before drinking alcohol so that there is plenty of time for the antibiotic to get absorbed from the stomach.
The main side effects of penicillin-based antibiotics are nausea and diarrhoea and as these can also be the side effects of an overdose of alcohol, it can sometimes be difficult to tell which side effects are which! For this reason people should keep their alcohol to the minimum when on medication.

How long after amoxicillin is it safe to drink?
When you are perscribed antibiotics from a doctor, you are essentially going on a course of a period of time, to recover from what ever you have. So to answer your question, if you are on a course of antibiotics, you shouldn't drink alcoholic, because you immunie system is alot weaker. your body is already trying to fight against somthing elce, and when you consume alchahol your body could be overwhelmed and either breakdown, or condract other diseases.
Are you serious? Amoxicillin is an antibiotic, it has absolutely no recreational drug potential, and will probably make you sick, and have explosive diarrhea or worse if taken in inappropriate dosages. It is made to kill germs and if you overdose, you could end up like the germs.
