Calvepen 666

i have been prescribed the drug ## Sorry, this is another one not listed in the US databases, so the only thing I can suggest is asking your doctor or pharmacist for more information. Most foreign countries just don't regulate their drugs like the FDA does for those available in the US. ## what is calvepen 666mg for ## I had to slow down on these, was given them to fight a throat infection like most, take 1 4 times daily for ten days. I found myself been really really tired & also I'm getting some intense stomach pains, often waking me up from those deep sleeps! <- probably due to the fact I'm not eating enough ontop of them...but they are working!

Rash appeared on neck and head on day 4 of taking calvepen. Took antihistamine and rash went. Now today on day 6 has re-occurred. 1 day left on antibiotic, should they be stopped? ## Hello, Eric! How are you? Is it an itchy rash, with hives, or just a red skin rash? A non-allergic skin rash can be a normal side effect of this antibiotic, as reported by the U.S. FDA, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache and diarrhea. However, a rash that itches and involves hives could mean you are allergic to the medication and should no longer take it.

Prescribed for a sore throat ## This medication is unavailable in the U.S. and I am sorry to say that other countries do not regulate their prescription drugs as strictly as the FDA does. That said, finding information on them is very difficult, since there are no databases which list them all, like there are for U.S. prescription drugs. The only thing I can suggest is that you try asking your doctor or pharmacist for more information. ## was prescribed 21 of these and cant remember why, i still have them because i go better without them! ## i am on a prescribed course of calvepen 666mg, one to be taken 4 times a day. i went to the doctor with painfully swollen glands and all over body aches. it seems to be clearing up quite nicely. however, i am experiencing some strong side effects. t...

I was prescribed Calvepen 666 to be taken once daily because I had my spleen removed as a child. I am battling with Osteomyelitis from car crash injuries and am prone to serious infections. From the outset, Calvepen has been positive for me and I believe that it acts as a bacteria repellent protecting me and saving me from a lot of grief and hospital stays with heavier drug infusions to kill off the infections. For what it is worth.! Yours S Daly.

hi had tosilular abcess for 3 weeks,admitted to hospital and had calvepen 666 through i.v. Abcess was lanced and i was released home with calvepen tablets,not long after taking second dose(3 daily) i started to feel weak/nausious/headache and symtoms of palpatations.

Calvepen contains a form of Penicillin, which is an antibiotic and it can cause side effects, such as feeling nauseous, weak and the headache, those are completely normal. With the palpitations, it's a bit hard to say, but there's a greater chance that they have been caused by the infection and your body trying to fight it. However, that is something you should report to your doctor and have checked out, especially if they invo...

Information I've gathered states the following: "Adjust dosing interval: Certain penicillins may exhibit reduced gastrointestinal absorption in the presence of food. The therapeutic effect of the antimicrobial may be reduced. The interacting penicillin should be administered one hour before or two hours after meals. Penicillin V and amoxicillin are not affected by food and may be given without regard to meals." Regarding the above statement, I would suggest drinking one hour before or waiting two hours after taking Calvepen to i...

Hi, i got tonsillitis so im on calvepen 666mg tablets. Is it ok to use them if i have a thyroid disorder? ## Hello, Remis! How are you? This is an antibiotic that is used to eradicate infectious bacteria, so yes, you can take it, as long as you aren't allergic to it and your doctor has instructed you to do so.

what number 104 and 105 in calvepen anyone?? ## We were unable to specifically verify the markings on Calvepen tablets. In a , another poster stated "CALVEPEN NORMALLY HAS 104 ON BOTTOM BUT CHEMIST GAVE ONES WITH 105 ON AND ARE BIGGER ARE THEY THE WRONG TABS??" With some reasoning, we could perhaps assume that the tablets with 104 inscribed on them are the 333 mg dose, whereas the tablets with 105 are the 666 mg dose (because the poster stated that the 105 tablets are larger in size). Please know that we cannot guarantee that our assumption is correct, but merely as a possibility. We found the manufactuer's web site, and on their products list you can see that Calvepen comes in 2 different tablets, in addition to a liquid suspension [1]. Hope this helps! Do you have any othe...
