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 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

I worked for Company for 14 years. I loved working there for 12 of those years. There were 2 main parts to the job. The first part was the "sales" side of things. This was away from the office, in the customer's location. This involved quite a bit of driving (and on a couple of occasions flying abro
