I'm allergic to Clindamycin (severe cellulitis of lower extremities). So, I'd like to know if I can take Biaxin for Folliculitis? ## It is a different, but related medication. Has your doctor instructed you to take it? The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.

can i take clarithromycin and trimothopin these courses alongside each ather for urine and chest infection ## I didn't find any interactions listed between the two antibiotics and, in many cases, multiple antibiotics are prescribed to try to get severe or multiple types of infections under control. Learn more Clarithromycin details here. Learn more Trimethoprim details here. Have they both been prescribed for you? You should double check my information to be certain.

can i take cleocin if am allergic to biaxin pencillin and sulfa drugs? ## Hello, T! How are you? The Cleocin is in a different class, it's a lincosamide antibiotic, so in theory it should be okay. However, there is no way of knowing if you will or will not be allergic to it, too. You should also double check with your doctor and pharmacist, before taking it, to be extra cautious. Is there anything else I can help with?

yellow oval tablet ## This is Clarithromycin 500mgs, a generic for Biaxin, this is an antibiotic. ## i was given this for a sinus infection. side effects include this odd taste in the mouth. you take it twice a day (with food) and the taste lasts for as long as you take the pills. ## Yes, that is a common side effect of many antibiotics, as well as many other meds. The worst one I have had is Lunesta, the sleep med, it is awful and you just can't get rid of that nasty taste in your mouth. ## I have taken this for a sinus infection several times.

I have a history of heart arrthymias and just started taking Biaxin. After 2 days of taking 500 mg. 2 x day I seem to be having more arrhythmias. There is also a horrible taste in my mouth. My Dr said I had some fluid in one ear and a possible sinus infection. Three people I've been in contact with recently had these same symptoms which makes me think this is a virus but would amoxicillin be a better choice for me? ## Amoxicillin is an antibiotic in a different class than the clarithromycin you are taking but still an antibiotic. Viruses cannot be treated with antibiotics. Viruses just have to run their course. The only thing you can do against a virus is usually to vaccinate for it before it happens except there isn't one for the common Cold. Zinc is good for shortening colds a...
