Avatar n tn About 2 weeks ago i finished a 10 supply of Amoxicillin, 875mg every 12 hours prescribed for a sinus infection. By the last day I had terrible abdominal cramping. I thought I was probably getting the flu, but nothing like the flu developed. I had no diarreah but seemed a little constipated. I've tried Maalox for the cramping and began eating yogurt to try to correct my GI discomfort. It seems a little better, but deffinately not gone.
1916673 tn?1420233270 I have recently spent some time looking into the functioning of different antacids. After some considerable amount of reading, I have come to the conclusion that one of the best of this group of medications is Prilosec (omeprazole). I did once give this drug a poor rating, but recent evidence suggests it's actually proving to be one of the safest and most effective.
Avatar f tn Hi Tam, There are no Dr's on this forum. I am not sure about Maalox, but I would check with the pharmascist. They tend to be the experts, even on over the counter medications. Good luck to you.
Avatar f tn Are antacids or,any other heartburn relief medications safe during 2nd trimester? If so, what kind do you suggest?
Avatar n tn I had my gallbladder removed and take antacids all the time, I would also like to know about this.
1747349 tn?1332683680 [46] Variations of the triple therapy have been developed over the years, such as using a different proton pump inhibitor, as with pantoprazole or rabeprazole, or replacing amoxicillin with metronidazole for people who are allergic to penicillin.[47] Such a therapy has revolutionized the treatment of peptic ulcers, and has made a cure to the disease possible; previously, the only option was symptom control using antacids, H2-antagonists or proton pump inhibitors alone.
Avatar f tn I have been diagnosed with acute gastritis a year ago. And again this year, I have experienced an attack for the second time and was treated at the hospital. I took Maalox antacid for the first two days, but the more I take this medicine, the more often my stomach aches. My doctor said that it may be the medicine - Maalox that causes this pain, so he changed my medicine to geltazine capsule. Then this month, my son was diagnosed with the same - gastritis. he is just two years old.
Avatar f tn my cousin is going through a custody battle with his wife and she keeps taking her 4 year old daughter to different doctors to get amoxicillin and shes keeps the medicine she never gives it to the child she tells us that its been spilled and she is throwing a fit all day today to take her to the doctor claims the child has a earache she's freakin out wanting amoxicillin
Avatar n tn I would not recommend taking any outdated medication. You can check with a pharmacist about the amoxicillin. Secondly, you can ask your physician for samples if possible or ask if she or he can enroll you in a free medication program so that you are able to get the medication to take. Good Luck!
Avatar f tn is it safe to take amoxicillin while you areabout 13-14 weeks pregnant and if so what are the risks to your baby while you are takeing it ?
Avatar m tn How long does it take to get this anti-biotic out of your system? It really sent me into a anxiety tailspin. I have been a little stressed lately, but wow. My Dr. says my anxiety and insomnia has nothing to do with the anti-biotic... but after reading some of these other posts, I can't help but feel that there is a lot of missing information out there about possible side effects. Has anyone else experienced anything like this lately?
Avatar n tn coli or salmonella infection. Amoxicillin is also sometimes used together with another antibiotic called clarithromycin to treat stomach ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. This combination is sometimes used with a stomach acid reducer called lansoprazole. Since you havent mentioned what caused this food poisoning and other relevant information, its difficult to suggest a medicine. I ll just say, There are better medicines for food poisoning.
Avatar n tn can amoxicillin make you have pink bits in your sick due to the capsules being red
Avatar f tn So yesterday I went to the Dr for an ear infection and the Dr said it was pretty bad. He prescribed me amoxicillin 500mg 3 times a day for 10 days. He said it was safe but I am scared. I have called and left a message for my drs assistant. Waiting for a call back. Have any of you had to take this in this dossage?
Avatar f tn Hello, I was told by a doctor I might have a chest infection so she put me on 500mg of amoxicillin three times a day. I'm also on diazepam for muscle spasms and anxiety. I cannot remember is she said it was ok go take them both together. If ok to take together this will put my mind at rest and stop me panicing.
Avatar f tn I just got done with a prescription for 875 mg of amoxicillin twice a day for 10 days. Will that cure chlamydia and gonorrhea??
Avatar f tn t have insurance and/or the money to go get it checked out. then i got sick with allergies and cold symptoms so my sister took me to carenow where i got doxycycline hyclate 100mg 2x a day for 10 days to clear up my sinus infection. right after i stopped taking the doxycycline i went to the dentist for a bad cavitity on my back tooth and got amoxicillin 500mg 3x a day for 10 days. it is possible that those meds not only cleared up what they were prescribed for but the std as well?

408448 tn?1286883821 I was dx with ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma stage 3B grade 1 in 6/2007. I had cisplatin and taxol I/V and I/P and completed all 18 treatments. After chemo the small spots in my diaphragm still remained. My onc considered me stable. In January a recurrence was found coming through the rectal colon wall during a colonoscopy. Another tumor was found behind my liver, posssibly coming down from the diaphragm.
155701 tn?1230047101 I was put on Atenolol for tachycardia and high blood pressure after undergoing thyroid surgery for toxic nodules. I keep reading about how certain antacids can cause your blood pressure to go up. I have GERD and am experiencing esophagitis again, and I would like to be able to take something for it. Is Zantac75 okay to take with a beta-blocker? And will it increase my blood pressure? I can't seem to find good information anywhere on the internet or even from my endocrinologist.
Avatar n tn I was given medication and it did clear up, but it came back because i had unprotected sex with my boyfriend. Now as of today i still have it and now along with it i have the worse pain in the lower part of my stomache area could this pain come from the trich?
290867 tn?1333569278 Does anyone know if amoxicillin is safe to take during pregnancy. I am 19 weeks 2 Days and I am concerned. I went to my primary care physician because I have been having a sore throat and really bad headaches. My ob said there is nothing he can do because its really not pregnancy related and its gotten to the point of unbareable. He said I had a bad viral infection and strep throat. I am just really concerned about taking any meds while im preggo.
Avatar f tn will amoxicillin harm my baby? I've got a water infection and the doctor prescribed me them. Also, if I take them does it cause thrush? I'm curious.
Avatar n tn I'm taking amoxicillin and my cheeks are very red, like i'm sunburnt, and very hot. It's only on my cheeks no where else on my face or body. I've been givien this same medicine many times and have never had this reaction, The only other thing I can think about is I was given a corticosteroid shot and nasal spray called Fluticasone. It's not shown as a side effect of the nasal spray, but could it be from one of these other medicines. Should I call my pharmacist or doctor?
666921 tn?1254990618 I just started my amoxicillin so I can't say anything about all symptoms yet. I do know that the LLMD prescribed me Kapidex and it may one of the reasons I am not having heartburn. Usually these medicines give me bad gastric problems, but so far it's been not great, but not painful either. You may want to ask if you can get Kapidex.
Avatar f tn I was prescribed Amoxicillin a couple days ago for strep throat and an ear infection and when I opened the bottle to take it I noticed that it smelled bad. I don't know if it's normal or not so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
