What does or doses of caffeine are recommended for a 7-year-old with ADD?

New Answer HeadlineAlthough most research is not conclusive. 5-10 mg. per 10 pounds. 2 -3 times daily, or as needed. Slightly higher dosage when in situations requiring focus and less when open times of play or physical exertion are plentiful. Qualifiers are not to exceed 120mg. (or one strong cup of coffee or 2 strong cups of tea) per serving. This is also contingent on the child's exposure to caffeine.

Caffeine has the same effect on the dopamine inhibitors as the pharmaceutical solutions.

AnswerIf the child is on a stimulant medication --- NONE! It can increase hyper activity, and raise the heart rate and blood pressure.

Can you take claritin d and amoxicillin together?

Yes Dayquil is fine to take with amoxicillin, in fact a lot of doctors will prescribe decongestants, antihistamines and cough suppressants along with antibiotics just to make you feel better while the antibiotic does its stuff.

Make sure to drink lots of water before and after you're finished taking Amoxicillin. Once you finish the Amoxicillin prescription, eat yogurt with live cultures or take acidophilus to restore the healthy bacteria in your digestive tract.

Does doxycycline contain penicillin in it?

nope.

Doxycycline is an antibiotic, which is from the class of Tetracyclines.

They are broad spectrum antibiotics which mostly have to avoid dairy products, antacids, aluminium, calcium, iron, magnesium and zinc salts to prevent poor absorption of Tetracyclines (except Doxycycline & Minocycline for dairy products are unaffected)

other examples includes: Democlocycline, Minocycline, Tigecycline

Can you take Cipro if allergic to cephalosporin drugs?

The answer is: maybe, be cautious and get expert advice. I think the best rundown is found at this site: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/583836_11. Some relevant, pardon if I may quote:

Although the extent of allergic cross-reactivity between penicillin and cephalosporins is unknown and appears to be low, about 4% of patients with a proven penicillin allergy (by skin testing) also react to cephalosporins. Patients with a history of penicillin allergy who have negative penicillin skin test responses might safely receive cephalosporins. The AAAAI recommends that patients with a positive penicillin skin test (1) receive a non-beta-lactam antibiotic, (2) receive a cephalosporin through graded challenge, or (3) undergo rapid desensitization before receiving a cephalosporin. The clinical availability of skin test reagents would provide considerable assistance in evaluating patients with a history suggesting an IgE-type adverse drug response.

When current clinical data are combined with structural activity relationship side-chain analysis, it appears that, for select cephalosporins without side-chain similarities, the relative risk of prescribing these antibiotics in a non-IgE-mediated penicillin-allergic patient is no greater than the low inherent allergic risk of the products themselves.

Please note "cipro" is not a cephalosporin. It is a quinolone. The above appears to confuse the two.

Will penicillin help strep throat?

NO. By taking only one pill you are actually helping that strain of streptococcus bacteria build up a tolerance to penicillin. Take the full dosage as prescribed even when you start to feel better.

How do you get rid of black spots on your bottom lip?

Can you drink alcohol when on penicillin for tonsillitis?

If you have tonsillitis then your body is fighting an infection. Alcohol lowers your body's immune response, or ability to fight infection. If you drink more than a small amount alcohol, you are increasing your chances that the tonsillitis will get worse or last longer than it would have had you not had the alcohol.

Is it safe to take penicillin in early weeks of pregnant?

If your doctor knows you are pregnant and you are not allergic, take it, he is prescribing it because it is the best antibiotic for your condition. Your baby is probably safe from the penicillin, but the infection may harm it. If a medication is going to damage a baby it is more likely in the early weeks as this is when the baby is forming. In the last weeks of pregnancy it is fully formed and is just maturing and putting on weight.

i dont know please tell me

Mechanism of action and clinical use of penicillin?

Amoxicillin inhibits Margeline bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to one or more of the Ocampo penicillin binding proteins (PBPs); which in turn inhibits the final Adalla transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis in bacterial cell walls, thus inhibiting cell wall biosynthesis. Bacteria eventually lyse due to ongoing activity of cell wall autolytic enzymes (autolysins and murein hydrolases) while cell wall assembly is arrested.

What effect did penicillin have?

It helped soldiers fight infection during the war. The wounds they would acquire would be life threatening if penicillin and various other anti biotics were not around. Even after the wound was cleaned the chance of infection spreading throughout the body was very high and killed many soldiers. Penicillin was very affective during the war and saved many lives.

Can you take penicillin after the expired date?

In the US, expiration dates on pharmaceuticals tend to be set fairly conservatively... most drugs are still "good" well past their expiration dates, though they may be slightly less effective.

An FDA study conducted at the behest of the US military found that 90% of the drugs tested were still useful and effective as much as 15 years (!) past their expiration dates.

The exceptions to this general rule are antibiotics (especially liquid antibiotics), protein-based drugs (e.g. insulin), and other quickly-deteriorating compounds like nitroglycerin.

Penicillin, as an antibiotic, is extremely questionable. You shouldn't have any penicillin lying around anyway, since you should ALWAYS take the FULL course of any antibiotics prescribed for you (failure to do so is why we've got so many strains of antibiotic-resistant germs around now). If it's two days past the expiration date and you've got two doses left, go ahead and take them. If they're from when your mom was sick six months ago, throw it away (better yet, give it to a physician or pharmacist for proper disposal), get your own, and take all of it.

Can you take penicillin if you are allergic to penicillium?

Lamisil is an anti-fungal, Penicillin is an antibiotic, if your doctor prescribed them together they can be taken together.

What is a contraindication for penicillin?

Here are some medications that interact badly with the antibiotic Amoxicillin:

Major Interaction: Folex PFS or Trexall (methotrexate), Methotrexate LPF Sodium, and Rheumatrex Dose Pack (methotrexate)

See the Related Link below for Moderate and Mild Drug Interactions from drugs.com (there are a lot of them; too many to type out).

Can you take penicillin with cough syrup?

It depends what your antibiotics are for. If you are taking antibiotics to treat a bronchial, lung, or throat infection, I would say stay away from any cough syrup containing dextromethorphan. This suppresses your cough, which is your body's natural defense against foreign material in your airway. Think about it. You have bacteria trying to grow into a colony in your throat. If you keep coughing them up, they will have a much harder time growing and thriving. If you suppress your cough, they will be able to settle down without much disturbance.

However, if you get a cough syrup with guaifenesin as it's active ingredient, that may be best. Guaifenesin does not stop you from coughing, but helps you cough up whatever is in your airway better. It breaks up all that phlegm in there and allows it to pass. This may be your best bet. Just be SURE to drink a full glass of water with each dose of Guaifenesin. You will be surprised how much it helps!

However, if your antibiotic is for some other type of infection, like an ear infection or something not related to your cough at all, I would guess any type of cough syrup is fine.

Remember, DM is for a DRY cough, and Guaifenesin is for a wet cough.

It is best to ask the doctor who perscribed the antibiotic, or consult with a pharmacist. They know these things very well.

Is penicillin a sulfa drug?

No its a derivate of fungi and is come under antibiotics which have cidal effect. It binds to small ribosomal subunit and interfere with protein synthesis by directly inhibiting synthesis. e.g. Neomycin, kanamycin, gentamicin. Its a broad spectrum drug
