Please tell me if this white oval S21 pill is good for treating tooth infections? I have a tooth infection. ## Dava Pharmaceuticals lists this tablet as containing 500mgs of Penicillin V.

The inactive ingredients are listed as including Inactive Ingredients: lactose magnesium stearate microcrystalline cellulose povidone sodium lauryl sulfate polyethylene glycol. But they may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Has it been prescribed for you? Have you consulted your dentist?

What is it used for? I forgot. I know I got them from my doctor a while ago, but the bottle broke & I only had about 6 left anyway, so I put them in w/ my other bottle & forgot what they actually are for. I'm thinking it's for a cold? Am I correct? Thanks. ## A white, oval tablet with the marking E on one side and 85 on the other is manufactured by Greenstone Limited, and they list it as containing 500mgs of Penicillin V, it is an antibiotic that is most commonly used to treat, or prevent bacterial infections. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. It will not treat a cold, since colds are caused by viruses. Is there anything else I can help with?

hispanic antibiotic penicillin substitue??? ## what is ampitrexyl for ## Hi, I've been ill with cough and sore throat symptoms so far the medication that I've been taking has somewhat reduced it, but doesn't go away. A family member gave me these capsules by the name of Ampitrexyl 500 mg, a Mexican natural herb antibiotic. I'm allergic to penicillin would this herb contain penicillin? Thanks. Albert ## It does not contain any penicillin. If you are on blood pressure medicine or blood thinners do not take as it can lower blood pressure and thin blood. There is info on the main ingredient andrographis/andrographitis on WebMD. Hope it helps. ## Estoy usando ampitrexyl desde hace 6 días,tengo tos con flema, no me ha dado ningún resultado positivo este medicamento,e...

Hello. I have a terrible cough, not dry but very painful when coughing and my throat is itchy.

I bought some Penicillin from a friend who came from Mexico with the tittle Penicilina Penimina 500mg, but I have been searching for this Arantiz Pharmaceuticals all over the internet and it does not provide any results, the lab address on the bottle, after I google it, shows what looks like a home in at Calle Teotihuacan 1585, Pinar de la Calma, 45080 Zapopan, Jal., Mexico, can anyone confirm if this is an actual pharmaceutical company in Mexico? ## Mexico really does not regulate their medications, like the U.S., and Canada, so unfortunately, there is no way to be sure what you have actually received. I did find them listed on various Mexican mail order pharmacy sites, but that's all I can really tell you about them. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this antibiotic as pos...

Can i use penicilina pomada on a brown recluse spider bite ## Hi amy, Have you been able to determine if this is in fact the result of a spider bite or are you only assuming this based on the size/condition of the affected area? Reason I ask is because I don't think penicillin will be of any help to you unless the "bite" became infected; and in many cases these "bites" can often be mistaken for a staph infection. Furthermore, the pain and swelling brought on by a spider bite is generally the result of venom and not necessarily an infection, so it may be that need to go see a doctor first who can accurately diagnose the affected area in order to justify the use of an antibiotic with or without further treatment of an anti-venom as well. I hope this helps and wish you ...

I went to a urgent care to get a prescription for penicillin for a tooth infection my left side of my face has swelled up so I went in he prescribed me amox-clav 875 until I can see my dentist but by my tooth being infected the dentist can’t pull it until the swelling goes down, but it’s been 3 days & the swelling is still here but the pain has went down some, last time this happened the doctor gave me amoxicillin and my swelling went down the next day, do I need a different penicillin pill I need help ## It's usually the active infection that prevents them from pulling it, not the swelling, since when the infection is active and in its prime, they can't numb it properly to pull it. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including n...

I have an itching problem in my vagina, but it seems likes the problem is internal and eternal... What medication should I take? ## Vaginal itching is usually caused by a fungal infection, so antibiotics will not help, they can actual cause, or worsen them as side effects, according to NIH reports.

I am 70 years old and was likely infected by 2 people coughing in a 1 1/2 hr bus ride in Cuba (poor recycled air). I got a sore throat within 24 hr then, laryngitis & cough for last 8 days & saw the ER MD in FL. Told them I am allergic to Penicillin and have Asthma. Can I continue the Rx & can I take Claritin for my allergies (mold, pollen, dust etc)? Is topical Aloe gel ok for a rash since the rash is systemic? Or should I go back to the ER for a different Rx? Is ok to go in Sun w/ spf 50? I don't recall if Amox was ever prescribed in my life as I always take Tetracycline or Cipro for other infections. ## I didn't find any interactions listed between these medications, but it is always best to double check to be sure. As to topical aloe, that is usually okay, since ...
