Question 1

can i take amoxicillin + clavulanic potassium 1g with mefenamic acid 500mg in the same time?

Accepted Answer

If prescribed : If that was prescribed by your doctor it is fine.

Question 2

can i take antibiotic and mefenamic acid? like dolfenal and amoxicillin?

Accepted Answer

: There is no significant known drug-drug interaction between the above mentioned drugs and many times antibiotics and antiinflammatories are used together in infections, informing your prescriber should only help in case pain remains uncontrolled. Specific side effects to each drug still apply.

Question 3

i've already taken 5 doses of amoxicillin&mefenamic acid but the pain&swelling(tooth) is still there, how many doses should it take effect?

Accepted Answer

Antibioitc: First and foremost, if you have swelling thats not a good thing, you NEED to go see a dentist.  That is a very heavy dose. In addition, while Amoxicillin is the drug of choice in non allergic patients, it may not be the right drug, depending on the bacteria involved.  .Sorry you are going through this, but get to a dentist

Question 4

can i take anti-inflammatories like mefenamic acid with metronidazole and amoxicillin?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, it is ok to take anti-inflammatories, as rxed by md/dds when taking amox and metronidazole.

Question 5

is it safe to take amoxicillin when youre having swollen, throbbing pain because of ear piercing? i had 1 helix 1 flat ear pierced both on the left side and it has been 3 days but the pain still hasnt subsided. i take mefenamic to lessen the pain?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, you can take it for a possible infection with common skin bacteria which may be susceptible to Ampicillin. If symptom does not improve in 24-48 hours, see your doctor for a stronger antibiotic.  Remember taking mefenamic with some foods.

Question 6

have swelling&pain on my tooth,dentist prescribed amoxicillin&mefenamic acid for 7days. is that correct,should i wait for a week if i need extraction?

Accepted Answer

Infection: Your dentist gave you medications to control your infection and pain. We don't know how extensive your problem is since you have not been examined. If possible, it is best for the infection to be under control before the extraction. Discuss your concerns with your dentist.

Question 7

what amount of amoxicillin should i take?

Accepted Answer

Amoxicillin dosing: That is a question for the doctor who prescribed the Amoxicillin for you.  You should not be taking old medicine or someone else's medicine.  The dose would vary according to what you are being treated for and there are sometimes other factors to take into account, as well.

Question 8

is it okay to take amoxicillin six hours apart?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Amoxicillin is usually taken 3 times a day or about every 8 hours.

Question 9

can i take amoxicillin if it's 6 months expired?

Accepted Answer

Do not use: Antibiotic medications should only be taken for infections when they are prescribed by a doctor. Leftover medications mean that 1) the previous infection was not completely treated, and 2) that the patient foresees using it in the future for a non diagnosed or self diagnosed purpose. Both of these are dangerous to the individual and can contribute to recurrent or resistant infections. Do not use.

Question 10

if someone were to take 6 500mg of amoxicillin at once, what would happen?

Accepted Answer

Large dose: That's quite a large dose of amoxicillin - although not really harmful. You might have some GI symptoms - nausea or cramps. The good thing, however, is the medication is not very toxic AND it has a very short half-life which means it would wash out of your system quite quickly. It is important to know more about the CIRCUMSTANCES of this incident -so I hope you would talk to a doctor right away.
