A member asked:
Im allergic to penicillin. does purmycin 250mg contain penicillin?? it was prescribed to help with my tooth infection
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Puromycin: Not available in US, so there is little that i can tell you other than it does not resemble Penicillin chemically. Know that antibiotics control tooth infections, but removal of the damaged tooth material (extraction or root canal treatment) required for a cure. Pills alone will not fix your problem. Please review this with your Dentist.
