Amoxicillin

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.

It is not so. I never came across the any such information about the amoxicillin.

no

Don't think you should be worried about toxics in your body,

its mostly natural medicine companies, that scare you off by saying you have toxics in your body which is lies!

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.

Yes. They are often given together to treat Lyme disease

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.

No you cannot, you need a prescription

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.

Yes, if you keep using it after awhile your body can build up an immunity to it and it will no longer work.

Most antibiotics do not adversely react with alcohol. This is actually an old wives tail dating back to WWII when penicillin was heavily used but in short supply. Soldiers were told that they couldn't drink on the antibiotics in an attempt to keep them sober so that they wouldn't become inebriated and have intercourse with prostitutes, thus catching venereal diseases that would require antibiotic therapy.

However, there are a few antibiotics that do have a true reaction with alcohol. For example, Metronidazole inhibits acetaldehyde dehydrogenase thus interfering with alcohol metabolism. These patients will have side effects if alcohol is consumed while the patient is taking the drug and thus, the patient should be instructed to abstain from alcohol use for the duration of the prescription.

We all know, or we should, that the least "junk " we take ,the better is for are well being.

However, at some time we all need to take pills of one kind or another, and we

hope the Doctor, that prescribed them, knows what he is doing, and that he or she keeps up with all new, information and up dates, on the field of his practice.

Hard to find since they, are like the rest of us, thinking about paying the bills,\

which for most Doctors, are way out, also their new Mercedes, the village

in Italy etc.

Most of us, do not have those problems

Did you hear about a General Practitioner, some where in Chicago, I think, that

after 40 yrs. of practice, still charges $10.00 a visit? No he is not Homeless''

He lives very well.

Wear cotton panties. Don't use vaginal douches. Never use petroleum jelly or oils for lubrication. If you are being treated for an infection, take the medicine. Don't have sexual in course during treatment. Avoid vaginal contact with products that can irritate the vagina, such as feminine hygiene products, perfumed or deodorant soaps, powders, lotions, and bubble baths.

Avoid wearing tight-fitting clothing, such as bathing suits, exercise wear, or pantyhose, for prolonged periods of time.

Many times, vaginal infections cause intense itching - don't scratch! Scratching infected, inflamed areas will only make things worse.

If your period starts while you are using vaginal creams or suppositories, continue your regular medication schedule during your period, and don't use tampons - use pads instead.

If you are self-treating a vaginal infection and your symptoms have not improved after treatment, see your health care provider for a vaginal exam. Don't use any vaginal products or treatments for 48 hours before your appointment.

Always use condoms during sexual intercourse unless you are in a long-term monogamous relationship.Always wipe from front to back after urination or having a bowel movement. Improper wiping easily spreads bacteria to the vagina and may lead to vaginal discharge and infection.

Amoxicillin with clavulonic acid is "Augmentin" and an antibiotic. All antibiotics cause GI upset (nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, indigestion) - with this one, you should have a good meal in your stomach before taking the medicine. Also when you are taking antibiotics, it helps to eat yogurt daily, or take Lactinex or some other brand of live bacteria tablets in order to prevent a lot of the diarrhea caused by the antibiotic killing off the "good" bacteria that live in your gut and help you digest food. There are numerous more specific side effects to this drug including the peeling of skins on your fingertips and toes.

can my 2 year daughter take amoxicillian with calpol at the same time

Yes, absolutely. They are totally different drugs. Amoxicillin is a penicillin/antibiotic, and Calpol is the brand name for Paracetamol, which is an analgesic (pain relief) and anti-pyretic (reduces fever). It is advisable in fact to use both, particularly in a child of that age, who is susceptible to febrile convulsions if a fever is left untreated (assuming that is what you are using the Calpol for).

I can only tell you what happened to me. In May of 2009 I had an upper respiratory infection including severe laryngitis. My Dr prescribed Tamiflu. Note that at this point in time the world was going through the Asian Swine flu scare. I took it for 3 or 4 days without incident. After this initial period, I called my Dr to tell him that I was coughing up green phlegm. I had always been under the assumption that green phlegm was a sign of a bacterial infection. My Dr apparently agreed with that assessment, because he ADDED Augmentin 875 mg to my medications. Please note, I had taken Augmentin many times over many years with no problem.

Within a day, I experienced a SEVERE reaction. Both of my hands swelled up, and were rendered unusable. The pain was excruciating. The first thumb joint where the thumb connects to the hand was the center of the pain. I could not button my shirt, hold a pen, turn a key, open a door, etc. The pharmacist wisely advised me to stop taking both medications immediately, which I did. The pain lasted for over a week. Actually as I recall, the pain took almost a month to entirely go away.

After the the first 4 days I did go toI went to another Dr- an ENT specialist who prescribed a cortisone type drug in a gradually descending dose pack that I don't recall the name of- something like methyl- pred- something or other, but it cured me in short order. In short, Tamiflu plus Augmentin was NOT ok for me.

Yes its quite safe, amoxicillin is used to treat infections normally of a bacterial nature, panadol is for the relief of pain and the two do not have any conflict.

If unsure try 500mg of panadol first and see if that helps, further amounts will depend on age and body weight.

I am looking for the answer to this question in order to decide if I should take an over the counter med which has a warning - not to take it if I am taking a prescription containing "moi."

Amoxicillin overdose symptoms may include short breath, diarrhea, nausea, stomach cramps, and vomiting. If you suspect Amoxicillin overdose, seek medical attention right away. If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as you can. However, if it is just about time for your next dose, skip the one you forgot and go on with your regular schedule. Never take a double dose.

Depending on the type of infection dose of Amoxicillin is 250, 375 or 500 mg three times/day for most of the infections for this teenager. Amoxicillin has wide margin of safety.

it will cause a seizure. stop mixing xanax with morphine you dirt bags. do you have a death wish?

Yes, but you need to be careful and aware that the combination of any painkiller with an antibiotic may make you drowsier than normal. Of course it all depends on your dependence/tolerance level of Darvocet dosage that you're taking. If you've been taking it for some time, then it might not be as bad. Still, you might want to consider taking it before you go to sleep depending on how drowsy it makes you feel.

Also be sure to take it with a lot of water. Depending on how much Darvocet affects your stomach, any antibiotic will normally make you queasy as well, so dilute it as much as possible by drinking a good bit of water with it when you take it.

Penicillin is not a broad spectrum antibiotic like chloramphenicol or the tetracycline. In fact the penicillin is a narrow spectrum antibiotic. It kills the gram positive and gram negative cocci and gram positive bacilli only. Now a days many bacteria has become resistant to penicillin.

Yes, it can. While antibiotics kill the harmful bacteria, they also destroy the "good" bacteria that our bodies need to function properly. To help prevent yeast infections (and diarrhea) that antibiotics can cause, eat a cup of cultured yogurt or buttermilk each day that you are on the antibiotics. The cultures in the yogurt and buttermilk will help keep the good bacteria in the body.

But, depending on what type of antibiotic you are taking, you need to first make sure it can be taken with dairy products. There are a couple of them that can't be taken with dairy, but amoxicillin is not one of them; you can have dairy products with that one.
