I AM TAKING AMOXICILLIN FOR UTI. 875 MG TABLETS.ONE EVERY 12 HOURS. I NEED TO CHANGE TO SULAMETHOXAZOLE-TMP. CAN I SUB SULFAMETHOXAZOLE WHEN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TIME TO TAKE AMOX? ## Hi Roy, The answer to your question is yes, as long as you're still sticking to your dosing regimen. A friend of mine had to take both of these medications at once for a staph infection, so I know they don't necessarily interact with one another in that regard. I hope this helps!

I was put on this antibiotic because an infection was found in my blood work . What kind of infections can be found in blood work to have this prescribed to me plz help me I am worried. ## It's really more of a broad antibiotic that can be effective at treating various types of infections, so they may not even be certain of the specific infection and just prescribed this to try to eradicate it, regardless of the type and origin. In most cases, what happens is that while testing your blood in the lab, they discover that your white cell count is elevated and, if the elevation isn't severe enough to be a cause for alarm, the most common cause is an infection somewhere in your body. The white cells are actually your disease fighters. That's why I said that your doctor may not ev...

Can you take it with mexolicam for nausea I taken sulfamethoxazole for urinary infection but I have nauseas e lost apetite so maybe I cold take mexolicam for nausea e pain ## Meloxicam will not do anything to help with nausea, as a matter of fact, it could actually just make that worse, since it can also cause it as a side effect. Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling, other side effects to it may include dizziness, headache and stomach irritation. You can learn more Meloxicam details here. That said, the Sulfamethoxazole in the antibiotic can actually make it more potent, so you have to be cautious when taking them together and shouldn't do so, unless your doctor has told you that it's okay. Are there any other questions...

is it safe to take an expired persciption of the above medicine? from 2007 ## When it comes to any medication I think it is best to not take any chances with the past expiration date (especially in the event that it is almost 5 years old). They MAY still be ok to take if they haven't been exposed to a high amount of heat or various other conditions outside of the bottle, however I am not a pharmacist or MD, so I cannot guarantee if it is in fact safe for you to consume. There is still a high likelihood that it lost a lot of its potency and may be ineffective to the point where it could harm your body by not doing it's job all the way, per say. This is is most important when it comes to expired antibiotics, because the antibiotic may not kill the infection 100% and therefore can ...

shape oval color white imprint ip 272 ## I recently took this one of these pills yesterday morning.

I was prescribed this medication by my dermatologist for a skin disorder that he originally thought was pityrosporum folliculitis.

Thanks in advance ## You said that's what he originally thought it was, so now what does he believe it to be? This medication is an antibiotic and isn't generally used to treat yeast based issues. ## I have been issue pliva 334 to treat yeast infection.

I would like to take Excedrin for a headache to today. Can I take w the above drug. If not, what could I take? ## Hello, Jonsey! How are you? Actually, the FDA cautions against combining the Aspirin in the Excedrin with this antibiotic, because they can increase the efficacy of each other, which may be dangerous, in some cases, due to the fact that they could reach toxic overdose levels. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia, and stomach irritation. What has your doctor advised?

Hey I have a boil on the left side of my buttocks and its almost ready to burst can I take this pill now while its almost there?. The pill is pretty big and white I'm 23 it kind of scared me. Should I take half of it first or just the whole thing? How long do I take these pills? ## You should only take it, if your doctor has directed you to do so, if not, then it may not be the right medication to treat whatever has caused this issue, or you may not have enough of it to fully eradicate the infectious bacteria, which creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Has the boil been cultured?
