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

I posted about this last night. I didn't get any responses with helpful information, so I'm reposting the relevant info I gave then below. Since I made my first post, I've lost **ALL HEARING** in my right ear. I'm sorry if this isn't kosher, I'm just so afraid and frustrated and helpless. I'm a whi

Hey all! 11 YO female, 5 ft, 91 pounds. No preexisting health conditions. You may remember me from a month ago. My daughter was the one with severe head and eye pain and super high fevers that were hard to break. Someone told me, in the middle of the night, to take her to the ER. I got flamed becaus

***Update 9/20*** All of his pending tests were negative, the last one we were waiting for was Rocky Mountain spotted fever and it too, was negative. We did follow up labs today though and his WBC dropped in half. At its peak it was 20.5 and now it’s 10.4, well within the limits of normal. The only

Just got done with a bizarre encounter with a patient and since we’ve had issues with this patient in the past, I’m actually wondering if she’s making the whole thing up. Apparently, her doctor specifically told her to **ignore any recommendations or advice from the pharmacist that works at this sp

Hospital pharmacist here, just here to vent as I found this incredibly frustrating and even scary. I was working from home today when my wife had a tele-health visit with her PCP. She’s pending Covid results and often suffers from sinusitis. She’s also allergic to penicillin (true allergy- anaphylax

Sorry for computer screen pixels 😞

What was I thinking?! I’m panicking bc I knew better. I was getting ready to give a COVID vaccine and the pt casually mentions he’s got double pneumonia…. I was like what? I asked did the MD clear him for vaccines and did he have a fever. He said yes then no, in that order and insisted on getting it
