Question 1

can i take omeprozole while on antibiotics (cefprozil) and antiviral (tamiflu)?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This combination of drugs is considered safe. There are currently no known drug-drug interactions between those drugs. However, if you experience any symptoms, please let your physician know. You can also check with your pharmacist.
Make sure you disclose all medications; prescription and over-the-counter, that you are taking.

Question 2

is tamiflu (oseltamivir) an antibiotic? and what negative effects can happen if i don't finish the entire dose?

Accepted Answer

Tamiflu (oseltamivir): Tamiflu (oseltamivir) is not an antibiotic, but rather an anti-viral medication.  It works by stopping the growth of the virus, and tamiflu (oseltamivir) ought to be taken within 2 days of onset of symptoms. If you stop early, the virus has a chance to regrow, leading to relapse of symptoms.

Question 3

my gal 8 yo.just detect a influenza,dr prescrb tamiflu. she ws already on zinnat,rhinothiol,loratadine for cough 1month.cn antivirus mix antibiotic?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The anti-viral Tamiflu is often added to such a treatment plan and should work with the listed meds. However, it has its best effect when it is added within the first 24-48 hrs of inset of a flu related fever. When added beyond that point it is less effective &amp; side effects of a flu like lethargy may limit its benefit.

Question 4

i began running a fever late last sunday/early monday.  felt worse went to dr. on wed., flu type a positive.  completed the tamiflu, still taking the antibiotic for the infection i also had.  still running a fever.  is this normal?  how long should it las

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: By waiting to Wednesday to be seen/start Tamiflu it likely was of minimal benefit. If started within 48 hrs it works best. If there were another infection (unspecified) the process may also be flu/viral related &amp; abx of little benefit. You don't list how much fever, which matters. I would be worried if over 102 but not so much with 101 or less. Contact your doc if fever high.

Question 5

sever headache, fever, disoriented, dizzy, bad eyesight. top of neck is sore when i move. 2x at dr.antibiotics and tamiflu. meds not working. headache getting worse. been like this since saturday. ?

Accepted Answer

Worsening symptoms:  If this is so severe that you are now becoming disoriented with visual changes - Prompt reassessment is warranted.

Question 6

can u take antibiotics while on stelara (ustekinumab)?

Accepted Answer

Should be okay: though the antibiotics may hang around your body a little longer. Stelara (ustekinumab) can also cause diarrhea, upset stomach, cold symptoms, and skin rash.  If the antibiotics also cause these adverse effects, then the effect will be magnified.

Question 7

hi. if you are diagnosed with mild case of of mrsa do u have to still take antibiotics? thank u for your time

Accepted Answer

MRSA: It is a good idea to take antibiotics since the treatment may remove the bacteria from your body so you do not get infections in the future.

Question 8

when to take antibiotics?

Accepted Answer

Your pharmacist: can help you to understand the instructions on the prescription bottle. Take as prescribed.

Question 9

how often should i take antibiotics?

Accepted Answer

Take as prescribed: Antibiotics should only be taken when prescribed by a doctor and instructions for the prescription should be followed precisely. Antibiotics only treat bacterial infections and some antibiotics work well for specific types of bacteria and others don't which is why you must get diagnosed by a doctor first. Taking antibiotics without a prescription can lead to  bacterial resistance of the antibiotic.

Question 10

can i take antibiotics while taking gummies acv?

Accepted Answer

: It is unlikely that you would get a good answer to your question because you were not specific in the name of the antibiotics and you assume that people would know what gummies acv is. I would suggest to take your medications at different times at least 2 hours apart not knowing what they to prevent interaction. However you also could use interaction engine available to look on the internet.
