Question 4

is taking rocephin (ceftriaxone) and keflex together ok, or will that overdose you on antibiotics?

Unnecessary: They are both similar cephalosporin antibiotics, and do not have much of an additive effect.  One or the other should be enough.

Question 5

can a cillian allergic person take keflex?

Accepted Answer

Usually : Recent studies have found that a majority of people who are allergic to penicillin can tolerate cephalosporin (of which Keflex is one) and particularly the 3rd generation one.  However if  you have had an anaphylactic reaction to penicillin, you should check with your allergist before you considering taking any cephalosporin. The risk is very low but it is better to be safe than sorry.

Question 6

Recommended dose: No, 500mg TID x 10 days is the recommended dose for susceptible infections.  Some clinicians only prescribe it BID or for only 7 days.  Please follow your clinician's recommendation and complete full course.

Question 7

Yes: Ciprofloxacin is part of the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics and is different than cephalexin, which is a cephalosporin. As always, consult your pharmacist. There are several things your physician and pharmacist need to know to determine if it is safe for you. 
Take a look at the drug information online to educate yourself: http://www.drugs.com/ciprofloxacin.html

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Yes: I see why not. Make sure you take a probiotic supplement while taking Keflex to avoid diarrhea and bacterial overgrowth from the antibiotic killing your gut flora.

Question 9

can keflex and azo be taken together?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: If you have a urinary tract infection it is common to take Azo for symptoms until the infection responds to an antibiotic such as keflex.

Question 10

can i smoke weed while taking keflex 500mg?

Accepted Answer

: I would not do both at exactly the same time if that is what you mean. Go to drugs.com and enter the EXACT med(s) you are taking including weed to see if there is an interaction.  Some drugs/genes will speed up metabolism of some drugs and slow down others. Ain’t nature/medicine interesting?
