No. Penicillin and other antibiotics are only made for treating (or sometimes preventing) bacterial infections and have no effect on viral infections, such as colds and flu. You waste your money to take these for a cold unless the doctor is prescribing them for a secondary bacterial infection that you have along with the cold. They may seem to be making you feel better, but often that is just that by the time you give up and go to the doctor and ask for antibiotics, it is usually around 7 to 10 days from the start of symptoms, and that is around the same time your body usually can get rid of the viral infection through the immune system actions. The timing only makes it seem like the antibiotics did something to help. They don't.

Yes, more than likely you can. Penicillins are part of a drug class known as Beta Lactam, named after their chemical structure. Flagyl, however, is a Nitroimidazole and Levaquin is a fluoroquinolone. Typically, when you have a penicillin allergy to one penicillin medication, depending on the severity, your doctor won't try you on another penicillin because it is likely that you'll have a reaction to it as well. However, usually, a penicillin allergy is just that- a pen allergy. Most patients who are allergic to penicillins (<1% of patients) will not develop an allergy to other Beta Lactam drugs (or other classes of antibiotics, like fluoroquinolones or Nitroimidazoles). Less the 1% of those who have a penicillin allergy (which is less that 1% of everyone...so we are looking at a VERY small number of people) will have what is called a cross-reaction with other beta lactams such as cephalosporins. And even with penicillin allergies, if you have the reaction as a small child, there is actually a potential to "out grow" the allergy as an adult. With that said, many clinicians prefer to use something other than pens in those patients since the risk still exists...especially if the initial reaction was anaphylactoid in nature. Patients may still develop allergies to the other two drugs in question, but it wil not be related to a penicillin allergy.

Also, note that gastrointestinal side effects alone are not indicative of hypersensitivity reactions (i.e. "allergy"). If only GI side effects are experienced, this is a sign of intolerance. Intolerance is not an allergy and the doctor should continue to administer pens as appropriate drug therapy while counseling the patient on ways to prevent or relieve the discomfort associated with GI side effects.

No. Penicillin is in the penicillin family and clarithromycin (Biaxin) is a macrolide antibiotic. Biaxin is often used in patients allergic to penicillin.

Penicillin will not cure gonorrhea. It could at one time, but drug-resistant strains of gonorrhea are increasing in many areas of the world, including the United States, and successful treatment of gonorrhea is becoming more difficult.

I have a gum infection in the gum surrounding my lower right wisdom tooth, caused by the top wisdom tooth pushing against it. I began feeling discomfort which turned into pain severe enough for me to seek treatment 4 days ago. I began taking penicillin 72 hours ago, and had the top wisdom tooth removed 48 hours ago. So far, I'm in no pain relief. I'm returning to the oral surgeon tomorrow. My pain gets worse when I lay down, so sleeping is near impossible. I also cannot chew, and swallowing is very difficult.

No, they are different medications -- vicodin is a narcotic pain killer and penicillin is an anti-biotic. An allergy to vicodin is unreleated to an allergy to penicillin. However, do not use Vicodin if you are allergic to acetaminophen (Tylenol) or hydrocodone.

You should consult with your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions regarding specific allergies to medications.

This is essentially because bacterial cells and human cells are very different. Both bacterial and human cells use chemicals called enzymes to build their walls. Penicillin is the right chemical "shape" to chemically stick to part of the bacterial enzyme. When it does this, it stops the bacterial enzyme from working properly and this makes the bacterial cell walls weak. The weakened cell wall cannot withstand the outside pressure, it breaks up and the bacterial cell dies. Human cells are made by different types of enzymes with a different chemical shape that penecillin is unable to stick to so it cant stop the human enzymes from working. The human cell walls are thus unaffected by it and they remain strong.

Penicillin is penicillin, regardless of to whom - or what - it's being administered. There's no special feline version.

It's only harmful if you ingest a great deal of it or you're allergic to it.
