CEPHALEXIN vs CLINDAMYCIN

usually when a prescriber writes macrodantin 100 mg bid, i generally call them up and they're okay with changing it to macrobid 100 mg bid. but today i talked to a dr who pushed back a little bit (although still very polite and professional.) I said my usual spiel about how out of the 2, macrobid i

Tell me what would you do? The caveat is I told them we’re closing in 5 minutes and it’s not a good idea to call the Dr now (on the phone) ) to send it at our location and that there’s a 24 h pharmacy a block away. At 2 minutes she shows up and tells me Dr just sent it? And what if the line was long

I’m a 71F (5’2”, 190 lbs, non-smoker/non-drinker, no regular medications) and I’ve had recurring swelling of my eyelids since last May that has been getting worse with each flare. Both upper eyelids become red, swollen and very itchy (not painful) and more recently the skin has started to crack, wee

Hey! My wife (F29) got a blister on the pinky finger a few days ago. Initially we both thought it was just a blister, but it has progressed quite significantly now to the point where we are unsure what it is. [Here is what the pinky finger looks like](https://imgur.com/a/NAzODn0) (note: it looks sli

So, I went to urgent care on Monday since I noticed a few things were happening. My first symptom was two swollen lymph nodes on the back left side of my neck. Then a general swelling started the day after, in that area. That evening I had pretty intense chills while going to bed and the next mornin

Can someone explain the point of this to me? Assuming you're treating cellulitis. Bactrim would cover both MRSA and MSSA...keflex would cover MSSA... So if you think there is a risk of MRSA why not just do Bactrim. Or, if you think MSSA why not just do Bactrim. Why do both? I did a quick uptoda

What the title says, essentially. For some context, I'm 23 years old, afab, about 5'3" and I'm guessing around 136 lbs. I started taking Prednisone after an infection in my face from an abscess tooth reappeared. I was on Clindamycin originally, but I wasn't told to finish the entire bottle (or

**UPDATE - It's 100% Impetigo. His spots started drying up and flaking off on day 3. This morning - day 5 of antibiotics & prednisone - the oldest spots are starting to disappear and the newest ones are starting to shed and go through the same process as the oldest ones. Thank you to everyone wh

I'm a dentist and actually have a specific question, but I figured there are probably a lot of questions I don't even know to ask, so fire away! If this post gets some good responses I plan to post a link in r/Dentistry so more dentists will see it. My specific question has to do with the number of

2 months ago child’s mom reported child had rash after taking azithromycin, so we added that to allergies and contacted doctor to switch to clindamycin. We get another rx for azithro now but this time the mom says she thinks that the rash that time was due to taking tylenol, and wants to take the az

It smells like stinky feet and vomit mixed together, who formulated that and decided that was okay? Did you do a focus group, because no one will take that stuff. Also you can FlavorX that stuff, but it can only do so much.

I’ll try to keep it short. Patient comes in from ER with script for Norco and Clindamycin. Clindamycin comes out to be $29 and Norco $5. Patient says he cannot afford the antibiotic. I offered to call the hospital for a substitution for a cheaper alternative, and inform patient that it will take les

Does any ID pharmacist know why Clinda is dose lower PO than IV when oral bioavailability is 90%? ​ https://preview.redd.it/yr6os9u5tf391.png?width=655&format=png&auto=webp&s=15aeee84b0a05279225cc84fd11cec97198488f2
