Penicillin has no effect on the fungus that causes athletes foot. Penicillin itself is derived from a fungus. Penicillin is anti-bacterial, it affects bacteria. Penicillin may be used if the athletes foot is serious enough to cause a bacterial infection. Anti-bacterials can cause athletes foot and other fungal infections to worsen by killing the "good" bacteria we all have on our skin and in our bodies. Some of those bacteria feed on fungi.

Well, usually people who are prescribed antibiotics from a doctor take more than they are needed to take in one sitting, because they're feeling bad, or want it to go away faster. I would suggest not od on anything, just to be safe. :)

No. Antibiotics actually cause yeast infections. In addition to destroying the bad bacteria that makes a dog (or person) sick, antibiotics also destroy the good bacteria that the body needs to stay healthy. Also, antibiotics only work on bacteria, and a yeast infection is caused by a fungus. So what your dog needs is an anti-fungal medicine, which you can get from your vet. An antibiotic will be absolutely useless on a yeast infection, and will only make it worse. When taking antibiotics, you can give your dog yogurt, but not frozen yogurt, because it has no active cultures (acidophilus). You can also give your dog acidophilus pills while its on antibiotics to prevent yeast infections, but check with your vet for the amount to give your dog. The tablets are available at any drug store, and you don't need a prescription. These same measures also apply to people.

Penicillin has probably nothing to do with headache medicine. You can take any analgesic without regards to penicillin. Aspirin is not given below 12 years of age in fever. You are taking penicillin. That means you probably have got fever.

penicillin is used all the times these days... fleming, chain, and flowrey all put part n this miracle drug!!!!!!!! it kills many diseases!

No - it is likely degraded and would not be effective. Additionally, whatever is ailing you may not be helped by penicillin, and taking it inappropriately could lead to resistance. If you are experiencing a medical problem, please see your doctor - they will prescribe (or not) based on your illness.

Fleming had found penicillin in bread mold in the year 1928. He squeezed the mold 'juice' out of the bread mold, but it spoiled, even in the refrigerator before he could do anything with it. He was unable to prove that penicillin was an antibiotic, and finally gave up in the year 1934. Others later figured out how to isolate penicillin and make it into a medical form.

yes but it can be a little bit harmful

Penicillin G benzathine is used orally and parenterally. Trade names are: Bicillin LA and Permapen. Penicillin V potassium is characteristically known for being stable in acid (therefore, is taken orally). Trade names are: Ledercillin VK and SK-Penicillin VK.

Rober Kock developed the culture plate method to identify pathogens.

can i take co-codamol at the same time as clarithromycin

invented by alaxander Fleming in 1928, a scottish.

yes

you get a rush. But it catches up with you.

Cats tolerate penicillin, but the dosage varies from that humans take. Please take this animal to the vet -- even if you do get the right dosage of penicillin, and even if the cat isn't allergic, I presume from your question you're not able to suture the wound. Please get a vet invovled in this.

I've had an enlarged and damaged kidney since I was 18months old which was always infected. Now, I'm 22 and have absolutely no problems. I took Septra from 2years old to 14years old.

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 can happen on the first dose; it can happen on the last dose, or anywhere in between. If you experience itchiness and a rash, swelling of the face/tongue/lips, stop taking it immediately, contact your doctor and take Benadryl. If you are swelling enough that you are unable to breathe, your throat is closing in (or wheezing like asthma), or you feel faint - get to the ER/call an ambulance.

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.

I'm allergic to penicillin only, and have done mushrooms twice before. But 1st time with pizza, second time shredded into candy, but if I eat it straight could it affect me any differently?
