AMOXICILLIN vs CIPROFLOXACIN

Male, 24, 165lb My back tooth filling fell out a few years ago and recently it started to abscess a bit so it’s for sure infected. I know this type of stuff is really dangerous and can spread to your brain and your heart. I would like to know if I should go to a grocery store pharmacy and get the f

I am 5' 11" 200lbs, white. I do not drink or smoke. I occasionally have edibles. ​ This has been happening for so long and I've been told, or had it insinuated, that this is in my head so much that I'm reluctant to continue pursuing trying to get better, but this is going to be my last sh

**A recent rant post triggered me into writing my own. Skip it if you want to avoid suffocating negativity.** "Pharmacists are the most accessible Healthcare Professionals!" was a mantra regurgitated towards me with glee all throughout college (which was over 15 years ago, for me). This sentence was

30/female/USA. 5’6”, 165 lbs. white. non smoker. no medications My cat bit me on Sunday night. I went to urgent care yesterday where I was given a tetanus booster and started on antibiotics. The doctor said the antibiotics (amoxicillin) won’t take effect for about 24 hours so my finger will remain

Hey guys, I really need help with this one. Scenario happened yesterday and I can’t tell you how pissed off I was/still am. Even one of my techs took notice and asked if I needed to take a minute, which I did, and I almost never do. Anyway here’s the scenario, would appreciate any feedback/support/a

But seriously, shout-out to the prescribers that send notes on your Rxs that make me give chuckle throughout the day.

To preface and head off some obvious advice, we've seen a pediatrician several times and upon receiving a referral scheduled the earliest ENT appointment we could. However, that's still several weeks away and it would set my mind at ease to get an idea what we're dealing with. My daughter 7F has had

Mine is tizanidine and ciprofloxacin, because it is so off the wall random to me. They are contraindicated together. Can you guess why? Cipro inhibits CYP1A2, which metabolizes tizanidine, causing a 10-fold increase in tizanidine Cmax, leading to respiratory depression, bradycardia, hypotension, pos

Need a second opinion because I can be sensitive. My pharmacist took a verbal Rx for ciprofloxacin 250 mg and wrote the sig as "2D x 6 days". I was data entry-ing it and thought that 2D wasn't a valid sig code? Surely she just meant 2 a day, since it was an antibiotic and typically those are dosed i

29F, 5'4, 180lbs, white, skin infection I do not drink, smoke, or use recreational drugs. Current antibiotic: Levofloxacin 750mg once daily I will post photos of the infection and my culture results I’m so desperate for answers I’m willing to give a reward to someone that can tell me what is

I'm 21F, 117lb, Asian (American). I do not drink or smoke ever. I have been going to my primary provider, hospital, and specialists constantly for my pain but to no avail. Every single time I've gone, the lab results, CT scans, and urine samples are all normal, nothing irregular. For a year now, I

So this has been ruining my life for the past 5 months and I don’t know what else to do anymore. Hoping someone here can give me some direction, or at least help me feel less alone. I’m 28 years old, 6 feet tall, and currently weigh about 64 kg — which is low for my height. I’ve always been on the l

So I had a kid with otitis externa. I wrote for “CIPRODEX.” Because insurances can be squirrelly about that, I wrote in the instructions: “May sub ofloxacin or ciprofloxacin gtt, same sig.” About a half hour later, I get a prior authorization notification in my E-mail asking me to consider formula

Came up with a simple mnemonic to remember what inhibits OATP activity: * Orange juice * Apple juice * Tea (green) * Pomelo (actually Grapefruit) juice And what has absorption inhibited by OATP inhibition? A canal in Florida or "FL CANAL": * Fexofenadine * Levofloxacin * Ciproflo
