Penicillin V

Penicillins (P, PCN or PEN) are a group of antibiotics originally obtained from Penicillium moulds, principally P. chrysogenum and P. rubens. Most penicillins in clinical use are chemically synthesised from naturally-produced penicillins. A number of natural penicillins have been discovered, but only two purified compounds are in clinical use: penicillin G (intramuscular or intravenous use) and penicillin V (given by mouth). Penicillins were among the first medications to be effective against...

can i take amoxicillin if i am allergic to penicillin? ## My daughter is allergic to penicillin, can she take amoxicillin? ## Neither of you should take this drug.Notice how both of the spelling ends with (cillin) . Allergies can be deadly, Why would you want to possibly KILL your daughter and yourself. Do yourself a favor and go to your doctor. ( Don't try this at home ) Antibotics should never be self admin. That is how we get SUPER BUGS like MRSA. ## These medications are related, however, not all allergies cross over, some people can safely use Amoxicillin when they are allergic to Penicillin and vice/versa, however, it is a risk. Have you spoken to your doctor or pharmacist about this? Are they aware of the allergy? ## Sorry, I forgot to include the medication link: ## I am all...

I am allergic to amoxicillin, and my doctor gave me augmentin. I did not know this antibiotic contained amoxicillin (and I am guessing he overlooked it), and it almost killed me. If you get this, make sure you are not allergic to any of the cillin drugs~ ## Yes, Augmenting contains Amoxicillin with Clavulanic Acid and should not be used if you are allergic to any of the ingredients. The safest thing to do is to make sure that your pharmacy records your allergy in their computer system, that way all medications will be checked against this information and if they find something that isn't safe for you to take, they will not give you the prescription and will contact your doctor for an alternative. I am sorry to hear you had such a problem, but in the future, make sure that you do wha...

I'm allergic to penicillin and the nurse has given me lactulose solution to take. Is this safe?? ## Yes, they are not related, at all. Penicillin is an antibiotic that's used to treat various types of infections. Learn more Penicillin details here. You can usually recognize its relatives by that cillin on the end, another example would be Amoxicillin, it is a close relative. However, Lactulose is a non-digestible sugar that's used to treat constipation. Learn more Lactulose details here. Are there any other questions I can help with?

It is not a regular antibiotic like the other ones you mentioned. Do you have an allergy to them?

I found in my little sisters room, it is a white oval pill with the number 93 on one side and the numbers 5195 on the other side. ## The pill you're describing is 500 mg Penicillin V, antibiotic. Brand Name: V-Cillin K® ## What is the name for a pill that is white and oval with 19 on one side and plain on the other? ## Jarred - I don't have a 100% match for you, but I did find a pill with similar markings. There is a round white pill with RE on one side and 19 on the other. This is Atenolol 25mg, used to treat high blood pressure. Does this sound like what you have? If not, can you post back with any other info such as other markings, a manufacturer name, or where this pill was obtained from? ## I found a small white pill with a score on 1 side and a circle on the other, wh...

Can cephalexin cure chlamitia and can you take it if your allergic to anything ending in cillin? ## Hello, Cori! How are you? Cephalexin is generally not among the first choice treatments, since there are other antibiotics that are known to work faster to treat it. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. However, it may work, but you should only take it, if it has been prescribed to treat it by your doctor. And yes, it is in a different antibiotic class, but that doesn't necessary mean that you may not be allergic to it, as well. Usually those who are allergic to one medication have a higher risk of finding they allergic to others. Is there anything else I can help with?

strep throat ## Not sure if this antibiotic is in the 'cillin' family, or has any properties contained in amoxicillin, but my son had a reaction similar to the reaction he had with amoxycillin. BEWARE users. ## The drug name is actually Ceftin. This is a Cephalosporin class antibiotic. So not in the cillin family. However, since almost all antibiotics are distantly related, if you are allergic to one, then there is always a chance of having a reaction to one in another class. ## I have taken the antibiotic Cestin. Now I have a rash over most of my body. How long should it last? I had taken 7 pills of the 20 prescribed. ## My wife claims she was given Cestin for her cronic sinus.. Is that possible?

is ciprofloxacin hcl 500 mg tab a penicillin? ## Hello, Cara! How are you? No you can usually spot the ones that are in the Penicillin class, because they use the cillin in the name, so a couple other example that are would be Ampicillin and Amoxicillin. Ciprofloxacin is a Fluoroquinolone class antibiotic and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Learn more Ciprofloxacin details here.
