Is this pill prescribe to patients with HIV? My brother has been getting sick and he got this pills? ## Hello, Olada! How are you and your brother? This medication is classified by the FDA as an antibiotic, so it is used to treat or prevent bacterial infections, regardless of whether or not someone may be HIV positive. The typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. It is just often prescribed for those that are HIV positive, because they may be more prone to developing bacterial infections, so it is very important to prevent them, if possible. But no, someone does not have to have HIV to have these prescribed. Is there anything else I can help with?

I just got this H 49 pill because I have a urinary tract infection; but I notice my hands itching and a headache, dizziness, funny feeling coming on. Should I call my Dr back or keep taking it? Thanks for your help. ## Those can be normal side effects of this medication, according to the FDA, you may also experience nausea, and diarrhea. However, if the itching is accompanied by hives or swelling, it could be due to an allergic reaction, so you should stop taking it and see your doctor, if this occurs according to the provided NIH guidelines. Has there been any change?

I am 22 years old, turning 23 soon. I'm hiv positive and lately I've been feeling like I'm gonna die soon and I'm always afraid. Are the pills going to help me? ## Hello, Lerato! How are you? I'm very sorry about how you're feeling. Noxidem is listed as containing the active ingredient Zolpidem, which is used for the short-term treatment of insomnia. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including dizziness, hallucinations, sleep actions and next day hangover-like effects. Thus, if you're looking for something to help with anxiety and depression, no this is not the correct choice. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am responding to the person who asked if Fexofenadine would help with chronic hives. I have taken ALLEGRA for about 20 years for Hives. It is the best drug out there! Do not substitute Fexofenadine for Allegra. They do not work the same. Trust me! Try the Allegra! You WON'T be disappointed!!!!! Good luck!!!!!! ## Does the generic instead of name brand really make that much of a difference? Have you experienced depression or vivid/lucid dreams? ## No, Fexofenadine is the active ingredient in Allegra. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, and headache. MMama, are those issues you are having while taking it? Are you on any other medications? These medications have been known to cause such issues as side effects, in some people that...

Can I take ilvitrim if I slept with a hiv positive person so as I can not be infected ## Ilvitrim contains the active ingredients Sulfamethoxazole + Trimethoprim. It is an antibiotic that is used to treat various types of infections. Although the therapeutic regimen of patients with HIV infection, frequently includes trimethoprim + sulfamethoxazole", it is my understanding that the risk of serious side effects vs the potential benefits of the drug, can make it a difficult option for short and/or long term use. Furthermore, I do wonder what benefits, if any, they might be receiving from an antibiotic, since antibiotics in and of themselves cannot be used to prevent or cure viral infections such as HIV. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Sulfamethoxazole + Trimethoprim...

I've been HIV positive since 2012 and i dont know my cd four count, but lately i've been getting sores in my mouth. Can i take purbac? Is it safe? ## Hello, Neoza! How are you? It depends on what's causing the sores. Purbac is an antibiotic that is only effective at treating or preventing bacterial infections. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. However, the sores could be due to oral thrush or canker sores and, if that is the case, the antibiotic will not help. Have you consulted a doctor for a diagnosis? ## I have hiv and am taking trivenz and purbac for the past two years. How long can I stay on purbac?
