I was on amoxicillin for a UTI, how long should I be off of the antibiotic before getting another culture? Amoxicillin has a 60 minute half life, very short. Could you go the next day to get a urine culture?
I have been repeatedly prescribed amoxicillin to fight a bacterial infection. I had difficulty figuring out that I was having an allergic reaction to the amoxicillin because many of the symptoms (abdominal pain and swollen glands) were similar to the original infection and the more classis symptoms (tching and hives) didn't appear until after I had finished my third prescription.
My question? Is amoxicillin less effective in fighting an infection if you are allergic to the antibiotic?
As you know antibiotics interfere with cell replication and cause birth defects. In the case of amoxillin the drug has a very short half-life in the bloodstream. Sixty-one plus minutes to be exact. Do the math. Thus, after seven days there should be an insignificant level of the drug in your bloodstream. You can never be one hundred percent sure of anything, but my guess is there will be no problem with the fetus, should you become pregnant.
Grapefruit juice contains a substance that increases the half-life of many drugs. It will therefore keep the levels of the antibiotic at higher levels for longer periods of time. Although antibiotics have some toxicity, taking grapefruit juice will not harm you at all and will increase the effectiveness of the antibiotic. Grapefruit juice should not be taken with other medications, specifically those that affect the heart rate or blood pressure.
I am trying to get my daughter to take Amoxicillin for a throat infection. She won't swallow the capsule. Is it ok to break the pink and blue A45 Amoxicillin capsule in half and mix it in applesauce?
Thanks for your comment, I have been taking probiotics for about 8 days and my rapid heart beat/anxiety and insomnia condition have both stopped. I still have stress in my life but "I'm almost back". Thanks Ultimate flora and thanks for the support Paxiled.
After taking the third dose, I then had the thought that the amoxicillin might alter the results of the upcoming STD test, so I stopped the amoxicillin. (My throat is not that bad anyway). My question is: would 1 dose of 500mg amoxicillin taken every 8 hours (3 doses total - 1500mg) be enough to clear a bacterial STD?? I ask this because I am getting tested within the next few days, not only to make sure than I am not infected, but to also make sure I did not then pass it on 10 days later.
This sounds like it has 100% to do with the Amoxicillin, and not Mono combined with Amoxicillin and so forth.
Amoxicillin can cause joint pain although this is not a common side effect, but can occur and should NOT be permanent, but temporary.
If this hasn't subsided, this definitely needs to be further investigated by your physician.
The half life amoxcillin is pretty short. Honestly, it would be way way out of her system after a week from her final dose. I'd say that the vomiting isn't related. Rash is a side effect of pen. antibiotics but am wondering if perhaps she has picked up another virus????
I'd call the doc to check out a rash lasting a week after amox. usage.
is this due to him take amoxicillin? i am worried its an allergy.
I have been able to clear and heal the wound and have been dosing him with amoxicillin. He seems to have an allergy to this antibiotic as I have discovered hes been throwing up in the basement. This is the usual drug I use to treat abscess-type infections and I want to make sure the interior infection clears up. Is there a good alternative to amoxicillin for this type of infection?
After receiving unprotected oral sex from a female (male recipient). Someone is prescribed 500mg amoxicillin 3x's daily for 10 days, would this abort the incubation of such std's as Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, or syphilis? The antibiotics were prescribed the day after the encounter (within 24 hours). I've been hearing different things from different sites and its been driving me crazy. Do I need to worry? Thank you.
prescribed the triple therapy which consists of Lanzoprazole 30 mg, Amoxicillin 500 mg and clarithromycin 500 mg. The problem is that she told me to take only one pill of amoxicillin (500mg) every 12 hours but it was supposed to be two pills (1g) according to FDA and other resources. I am very concerned because I know that this bacteria becomes resistant to antibiotics. What should I do?, How long do I wait before I take another test to see if the bacteria is gone or not?
But in that period she was taking amoxicillin, because she was sick. Can amoxicillin protect her against the infection? it is possible that i spread her the possible disease?
Im waiting for the tests.
The next week I had a sore throat (unrelated) and went to my doctor and was given a prescription for amoxicillin. I began taking the amoxicillin 10 days after the encounter. 15 days after the encounter while still taking the amoxicillin, I had sex with my wife. We had sex twice that night, the only time since the encounter. The next week my doctor switched me to clarithromycin for my throat.
