Flu Treatment

Flupen what it is used to treat? I feel a severe pain on the upper right chest it started from the armpit. I have painful blisters on my right hand on my palm and fingers. They look whitish and have water inside. The ones I have on my hand feel like I was burnt and are in groups. I went to clinic they gave me Flupan 250. Is it the correct treatment? ## This contains the active ingredient Flucloxacillin, which is an antibiotic that's used to treat bacterial infections. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. What did they say it was?

How long does it take for a rash to go away after starting Flucloxacillin? I have had the rash for three days. ## When I experience one from an antibiotic, it took about 2 weeks to full clear up. The NIH warns that you may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and diarrhea. Has there been any change? Are you still taking it?

I have used Efudex for four weeks and i now have a lump with a hard crust around it, and it is sore and itchy. What should i do? ## Hello, Judy! How are you? Have you informed your doctor, yet?

I have been on Prednisone for 4 days so far. 6 the first day, 5 the second, 4 the third and supposed to be 3 today.

Thanks ## It would be best to consult your doctor, or pharmacist to be sure of what you should do. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, acne, fluid retention, and irritability. How did you end up accidentally throwing it out?

I finished Zepatier treatment last July. Successful. Virus undetectable. Very happy. I'd been sick for almost 20 years. Felt great. Began to re-start my life. But, since July 2017, I've fallen sick with flu-like symptoms three times. Each bout of 'flu' lasts a month, and is bad enough to stop you from doing anything, except sleep, or futz around. I got the last bout of this extreme flu mid-March, 2018. It lasted until a few days ago. I'm free of it now, but extremely tired. It feels like I've got ME or chronic fatigue syndrome. Has anyone else had immune-system issues since completing Zepatier? ## How long have you been off of it, now? It contains Elbasvir and Grazoprevir. It is most commonly used to treat Hepatitis C. Medication side effects should not linger fo...

I have used Efudex twice over several years. I wonder what will help the redness that happens after the crust has peeled away? The affected area is upper lip and side of nose. ## Hi Ren, have you finished taking the course of Efudex at this point? Medline Plus says "If you are using fluorouracil to treat actinic or solar keratoses, you should continue using it until the lesions start to peel off. This usually takes about 2 to 4 weeks. However, the lesions may not be completely healed until 1 or 2 months after you stop using fluorouracil." It also says that the redness is normal, except in cases of a severe red skin rash (which should be reported as a serious side effect). Would you consider your case severe? As to treating the redness, you may be able to apply an over the counte...

The doktor discribe me with flupen 250mg 2 tablets every 6 hours (is it normal )and using it since janaury but the wound didn't heal yet ## Flupen contains the active ingredient Flucloxacillin; which is indicated for the treatment of infections caused by susceptible bacteria. It is not intended however, for healing a wound. Just getting rid of the infection. As far as dosing protocols go, this is going to be different for everyone depending on the severity and type of infection. Based on my research though, the usual adult dosage tends to be 250mg 4 times daily; which would amount to taking it every 6 hours. I hope this helps! :) ## My mother is 71 years old. She recieved the same medication Flupen 250 - pink and grey capsule and she has to take 2 every 6 hours, but something very c...

I am finishing a 7 day dose of clindamycin 300 mg taken once every 8 hours on Friday, which leaves me with no weekend coverage if dental infection isn't gone. My dentist told me yesterday that it can remain in my system for awhile, is this true? If so, for how long? ## Hello, Jana! How are you? Yes, that is correct. However, how is the infection doing?
