Can you take presnidone if you are allergic to antibiotics?

How did penicillin make the population rise?
Penicillin was indirectly responsible for a rise in population. It is important to be clear that penicillin did not cause more people to be born (causing a rise in population), it did however prevent many people from dying from what were common causes of death. As a result, more people were living longer, whilst people continued to be born at the same rate. Over time this caused an increase in population amongst places were penicillin was used.
How do the antibiotic actions of penicillin and streptomycin differ?
Penicillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic while streptomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic.
Beta-lactams generally act by inhibiting transpeptidation of peptidoglycan synthesis in cell wall synthesis.
Aminoglycosides interact with the 30s ribosomal subunit and inhibits protein synthesis in the cell.
Why did Alexander Fleming call the first anitibiotic penicillin?
Fleming stumbled across the Penicillium bacterium by accident; he didn't mean to create the drug. When he discovered that the mold could kill other bacteria in a Petri dish, he wondered if the same could happen inside the human body, and started experimenting until he came up with penicillin. Now, penicillin is one of the most widely-used antibiotics.
The drug was named after the mold it comes from, Penicillium. The mold looks like a brush under the microscope, and "penicillus" means "small brush" in Latin.
The discovery of penicillin is credited to Alexander Fleming, a Scottish scientist who famously cultured Penicillium notatum and collected the secretions from the bacteria in 1928.
However, in 1897 a French physician, Ernest Duchesne, studied the interaction between Escherichia coli and Penicillium glaucum (a different strain). He discovered that the Penicillium killed E. coli and also prevented typhoid (Salmonella typhi) in guinea pigs.

Advancements of penicillin for applications as a medicine, were made by Howard Walter Florey, Ernst Chain, and Norman Heatley.
The penicillin was discovered by Alexander Fleming in the year 1928. He discovered it by chance when he was going to show some petri dishes to his former Lab Assistant D. Merlin Pryce.
Two reasons:
1) Not even Fleming believed penicillin could kill bacteria inside the human body. From 1927 to 1931 he studied this possibility, and concluded it would not. Not until the 1940s did researchers find that it was a "miracle drug" in its ability to do so.
2) Manufacturing penicillin, in quantities pure, strong, and large enough to be of medical use, was difficult and expensive -- no drug company wanted to expend the effort to find a way to do so for a drug that was still unproven. More specifically, no company wanted to expend that effort when Fleming refused to patent the drug. If a drug company did expend the resources and found a way to do so, any other company could then use the same process to manufacture penicillin -- meaning the first company to do so would spend the money and every other company would make the profit.
If you are allergic to penicillin and you brethe in or touch it will you have a reaction?
There is a chance that you might if you are really allergic.

AnswerAmoxicillin does not have to be refrigerated, but refrigeration improves the taste. Leaving it out on the counter for a day makes no difference. However, if your bottle says "amoxicillin/clavulanate" which is the generic name for Augmentin, it is extremely important that you refrigerate. Take a look at your bottle - if you have amoxicillin/clavulanate or augmentin, you'll need to call the doctor to get a new script.
In general, most medications that have been left out of refrigeration will be fine to use if kept cold again within 24 hours; this assumes it was kept at room temperature and not near a heat source,
