I'm taking the antibiotic for a UTI, I was wondering if it would help or not with my poison ivy? ## Hi Kimberly. Generally, for poison ivy treatment, a cortisone preparation may be prescribed as well, which can be taken orally, injected, or applied locally as a cream. If it got infected, then I would definitely give Nitrofurantoin a shot at it for 5-10 days, depending upon what your doctor suggests. I heard of another poison ivy victim using Azithromycin 250 mg 2 times daily for 5 days for relief, in conjunction with steroids/cortisone. Were you able to get it checked out by a physician yet?

I got a cardizone shot in my shoulder for pain and the day after I had the shot my checks and breast turned a blush red. Is there any connection? ## Have you consulted your doctor? Cortisone is a steroid, so it can cause some unusual side effects, but you should discuss them with your doctor.

NOTE: According to the drug database, this pill is round and not oval shaped.

my father was diagnosed with just having a stroke and was given Meds Asasaton and Coversyl. by mistake he has taken a Prednil prescribed for my cat. Will this upset his new meds? ## Prednil contains Cortisone, a steroid. That said, I'd not think just one would have many harmful effects, however, this site is not medial professionals, so his doctor should be informed of this, just to be sure. In the future, may I also suggest making sure the the human and canine medications are stored in separate locations?
