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.

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.

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.

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.
Can you become immune to amoxicillin?
Yes, if you keep using it after awhile your body can build up an immunity to it and it will no longer work.
Why can't you drink when taking antibiotics?
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

Can vaginal yeast infection be prevented?
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.
What are side effects of amox tr-k?
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 you take amoxicillin and calpol at the same time?
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).
