i have a bottle of penicilln v k 500mg tab sandoz my toung has been hurting i looked in the mirror and i see what looks like cuts just pass the tip of my toung this bottle is dated07-23-2009 is it ok to take it ## First of all, unless you have an active infection, this medication is not going to do anything to help. This is an antibiotic and it is important not to use them, when it isn't appropriate, because you run the risk of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. Second, this is even more of a danger, because this bottle of medication is outdate. The expiration date was 07-23-2010, after that, they start to lose their effectiveness and this creates an even bigger risk of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. Have you seen a doctor to see what it causing this problem? It co...

I've been taking ic penicillian as perscribed for about a week now. And I've started getting a rash on the palms of my hands and legs. should i stop taking the penicillian immediately or finish the course. ## HI, Brit! Sorry about the rash. From your description, it's difficult to know what type of rash it is and why it has happened. There are two different types that you can experience from antibiotics. The first would be a non-allergic skin rash, this one usually just looks like small speckled spots similar to measles and it doesn't itch or swell. It's just kind of there, almost like you got a new set of freckles. The second is an allergic rash, which would include hives, they are raised, swollen bumps that itch and seem to spread. They may cycle and itch at differ...

what can or can't I mix with this medication? I'm waiting for a root canal, and my dentist prescribed it to me. ## I would see the Full Penicillin V Article and go down to the section for Interacting Medicines. Mary ## suzanne says: i am a dental assistant of 17 years and we give this medication to our patients all the time when we do root canals and extractions. So far no one has had any problems with mixing it with other meds. If you are taking a birth control pill, you may want to use other protection while using this antibiotic. I would talk to your dentist or doctor. He or she should know what drugs could interact with it. Good Luck! suzanne ## I have a gum infection, one of my friend is a dental student, she suggested me to take penicillin vk tablets, can someone tell is t...

Is Amoxicilina 500mg the generic for Penicillin VK 500mg? ## To answer your question, no, Amoxicillin is not the generic for Penicillin VK. Both of these antibiotics are their own generic form, but the difference between the two is very subtle. Many references note however, that Amoxicillin is considered to be a slightly improved version of Penicillin for various reasons.

Can I take Penicillin VK 500mg and Mucinex D along with my Methadone? I'm afraid it may cause breathing problems and would like some clarification. ## Hello, Michelle! How are you? I didn't find any interactions listed between the Penicillin and the Methadone, but there may be issues if you take the Mucinex D, since it contains Pseudoephedrine, which works like a stimulant and the Methadone is a depressant, so you should check with your doctor, before combining those. Penicillin is an antibiotic and according to the FDA, it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. [1] Mucinex-D is listed as containing Guaifenesin and Pseudoephedrine, it is used to alleviate congestion. Typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, in...

Can my child, if I left it in the cabinet, get high off of it? I suspect he's been using pills. I just want to be sure! ## PVK is usually for penicillin vk 5oo mg ## Yes, the PVK 500 is an antibiotic containing 500mgs of Penicillin, so it wouldn't get any one high. Vicodin, however, contains the narcotic Hydrocodone coupled with Acetaminophen, so it could be used to get high, if it has that affect on someone. Which medication were you talking about?
