augmentin

Avatar n tn Take a diet rich in Vit B12 which should include meat and animal products, cheese, such as beef, liver, salmon, cod, and eggs. Take B12 supplements and breakfast cereals fortified with vitamin B12. Finding the cause is important. The rash could be due to Augmentin and other drugs you are taking. Once the B12 injections start acting, the medicines can be stopped after talking to your doctor. Talk to a nutrition expert about a diet rich in B12. Hope this helps.
Avatar n tn Please, i'm hoping someone can answer this. For the past 5 years, my enzymes have been tested 2x a year by by cardiologist as routine - they have always been perfect. So, they have been perfect for 10 tests! Now my ast is 74 - I think alt was normal. What is going on ? Could i have hep c and they've been normal for ten tests and now show up? I was on a lot of meds the month prior - augmentin, senna, tylenol, etc. Please rspond if you can?!
Avatar m tn 1- Liver test (Hepatitis B and C) 2- General blood test (Biochemical analysis) 3- Urine test Would my antibiotic (augmentin 1g) and the above medication affect the results of the above tests? and if so, after how long should i go to these tests whenver i stop my medication?
Avatar n tn Augmentin and Zocor have been known to be potentially hepatotoxic. Tylenol is safe, if it is taken as directed (less than 4,000 mg/daily). I imagine that those 3 drugs taken together can increase the potential for damage to the liver. Have you talked with your doctor about possibly substituting another lipid lowering drug...and getting off the Zocor? Are you still taking Augmentin? Remember to be careful about your tylenol intake...
Avatar f tn My gut feeling is that it was a combination of drugs, as I have been taking Crestor for quite some time without elevation of liver enzymes but the difference was the addition of augmentin and then GENERIC zyrtec, which seemed to have more side effects than the brand I have taken in the past. The itching is driving me CRAZY...liver enzymes still elevated but are coming down. You were right, Nexium is now allowed, but hope that isn't contributing to the itching.
Avatar m tn dx with augmentin induced drug hepatitis 3 weeks ago. Stopped drug , had elevated liver enzymes, ALT 469 AST 205. jaundice, dark urine, pale fatty stools. Bili peaked at 16.9 last week, now coming down (8). Liver enzymes slowly coming down. Jaundice starting to fade. Ultra sound normal except local areas of fatty infiltrate. My question... can toxic hepatitis CAUSE fatty liver in the acute phase?
Avatar n tn I went to the doctor a week ago, and she seemed to think they were bacterial and gave me a prescription for Augmentin and Bactroban ointment. They have slowly started to look better, but today I noticed they had a bulleyes appearance. Do you think this could be Lyme disease?
Avatar m tn You should consult your doctor about getting other investigations done including a kidney and liver function test. Are you having any other symptoms like yellow skin or yellow urine, loss of appetite, nausea, etc? If the symptoms are still persistent, consult a gastroenterologist and get a proper clinical evaluation done. Let us know if you have any doubts and keep us posted on how you are doing. Hope this helps. Good luck.
Avatar f tn s disease, multiple sclerosis, severely low calcium levels, erratic blood pressure, diabetes and illnesses that make you feel weak, such as heart disease, liver failure and autoimmune disorders. Sometimes you may feel palpitations or fluttering in your chest that you assume are digestive in nature. Your body may tremble when you run a fever or feel a chill.
Avatar m tn I am so sorry that information about lyme disease and its dangers is not yet out there enough for everyone. I believe you have Lyme Disease (a 10 year sufferer here) You need to be tested asap. See if you can get your family practitioner to send your blood to Igenex. I had bells palsy just after my diagnosis. Not sure where you are in NJ but I am in northampton county PA and have an excellent family practitioner not to far from Belvidere, NJ if your interested.
634590 tn?1293774093 The antibiotic Cipro will cause an elevation for some in their liver enzymes. Google Cipro and liver disease and you will find a multitude of data on liver disease and this antibiotic. Have read in the past where others have had issues with this drug regarding their liver. Was suggested that I take Cipro for a UTI, and after further investigation of Cipro decided to opt for another Tx.
Avatar m tn so I took my STD test but before I got the result I panicked thinking of gonorrhea or syphilis and took Augmentin for 3 days. Now the tests are all negative but considering the window period for some STD, should I finish taking Augmentin as a precaution to get rid of the possible infection? Thank you.
Avatar n tn Because I had been previously diagnosed (and treated with 1000mg Amoxicillin three times daily) with a sinus and left ear infection about a month earlier he suspected that I could possibly have some type of resistant sinusitus and prescribed Augmentin XR (1000 mg) 2 pills twice a day. I had oral sex again with the asymptomatic guy again on 4/11. I was informed by the guy who developed gonorrhea of all this today, 4/14, and have not had sex with him since before his symptoms began.
Avatar m tn how abt azithromcyin.....n wot 2 tak during temperature.....???
Avatar f tn Currently diagnosed with double ear infection of middle ear and sinus infection not responsive to augmentin (newly prescribed ceftin). Currently suffering from severe pressure in head behind eyes only alleviated by anti inflammatories like toradol shots (pain medications do not work for head pressure/pain). More information available on my profile (detailed history). Am on 6 month waitlist for specialist. Doctor has confirmed through blood test there is immune deficiency but not specified.
Avatar f tn I was wondering if anyone else has taken Augmentin. I was prescribed it for a double ear infection. Originally I was given acetic acid drops but they aren't working. I plan on calling my OB in the morning to double check. They are pregnancy category B. Although they are thought to be safe not many studies have been done on them. I'm nervous about everything. This is my first pregnancy and I am only 18. Thank you!!

Avatar m tn a common antifungal pill (for nail fungus) has only 2 pills that you take....and can, and does cause liver failure. Why it is still on the market is beyond me. I mean, which would you rather have, a healthy liver or a pretty toenail? It doesn't take much when it's the wrong molecule to really upset the apple cart when the liver isn't working well.
Avatar n tn and GGT 112, ALT 49; and ALP 118. I am worried that the drugs might have caused damage to the liver; Since discovering these results I have not had any alcohol or eaten fatty food. Usually I do drink most days (2-3 glasses of wine, no liqor). I would be very grateful for your opinion on what steps I should take next/whether I should be worried. Thanks so much.
Avatar f tn I am really trying to see if my sister's condition has anything to do with her being given this shot. Last time she was given it was April 2013, she is currently in the hospital fighting for her life!! So with all the warnings about if you have a liver disease you shouldn't be taking this shot and the doctors are advising her liver isn't functioning and for it to be as far gone as it is, if she had come to hospital a year ago they wouldn't have been able to do anything!!
Avatar f tn Autoimmune disorders Sometimes a body’s immune system may begin to attack the liver or bile ducts causing inflammation and scarring which leads to a progressive form of liver disease. Examples of liver diseases believed to be caused by the immune system are primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and autoimmune hepatitis.
Avatar n tn If your report says that your bilirubin is high, then you probably have jaundice (jaundice is the accumulation of bilirubin under the skin) and some type of liver disease that needs further testing and diagnosis. My two cents. Take care and God bless.
Avatar f tn I was going thru a bottle of vodka every 2 to 3 days. I started having discomfort in the liver area with nausea fatigue and dry mouth. Had an lft done all normal. Still felt sick and went to the hospital lft normal except elevated bilirubin ultrasound normal. Had another lft couple of weeks after bilrubin down to 1.3. And another normal ultrasound. I still deal with right quadrant pain fatigue and nausea.
1714226 tn?1308625105 Hi, my name is Patty and I am 29 years old. To say that liver disease runs in my family would be a huge understatement, for my grandmother, aunt, and my father have all died of cirrhosis of the liver. Neither of the 3 were alcoholics either. Since the age of 18, I have had routine checkups and blood work, keeping a close eye on my liver function and health. In January of 2010, I was diagnosed with gallbladder disease and had surgery to remove it.
