AMOXICILLIN vs AZITHROMYCIN

Male, 24, 165lb My back tooth filling fell out a few years ago and recently it started to abscess a bit so it’s for sure infected. I know this type of stuff is really dangerous and can spread to your brain and your heart. I would like to know if I should go to a grocery store pharmacy and get the f

I am 5' 11" 200lbs, white. I do not drink or smoke. I occasionally have edibles. ​ This has been happening for so long and I've been told, or had it insinuated, that this is in my head so much that I'm reluctant to continue pursuing trying to get better, but this is going to be my last sh

**A recent rant post triggered me into writing my own. Skip it if you want to avoid suffocating negativity.** "Pharmacists are the most accessible Healthcare Professionals!" was a mantra regurgitated towards me with glee all throughout college (which was over 15 years ago, for me). This sentence was

30/female/USA. 5’6”, 165 lbs. white. non smoker. no medications My cat bit me on Sunday night. I went to urgent care yesterday where I was given a tetanus booster and started on antibiotics. The doctor said the antibiotics (amoxicillin) won’t take effect for about 24 hours so my finger will remain

Hey guys, I really need help with this one. Scenario happened yesterday and I can’t tell you how pissed off I was/still am. Even one of my techs took notice and asked if I needed to take a minute, which I did, and I almost never do. Anyway here’s the scenario, would appreciate any feedback/support/a

Edit to add update (1/16): he saw his regular pediatrician today and she DID take me seriously (after I showed her a video of him sobbing as he limped to the bathroom this morning...). Her main concern is rheumatic fever, he does have several of the symptoms but she suggested trying a higher dose an

I’m an urgent care PA, and I’m just sending out a general thanks to all the pharmacists for being wonderful and helping with medication questions! I occasionally have questions regarding the odd medication, and I’ve always had amazing help from the local pharmacies. For example, I recently had a

Update: the wound is starting to close, she’s almost finished her antibiotics. There’s no more drainage or signs of infection. She is very frustrated that she can’t swim and wants to superglue it together herself. What should I tell her? My friend [22F]was bitten by a monkey in Thailand three days a

He is fully vaccinated (including flu and COVID vaccines). He is currently taking a 5 day course of azithromycin (250 MG tablet) for the sinus infection and started the tamiflu today. How long should we keep him home to prevent him from spreading it to others? I have a benign brain tumor and am

Case 1) A physician prescribed his wife #180 plaquenil 200mg BID + #30 azithromycin 250 mg QD. Paying with GoodRx. (we didn’t fill it of course) One of my new tech typed it in, i caught it and called him asking for diagnosis code. He started out saying his wife has asthma and needed it for prophyla

Our pharmacy is being physically expanded right now and the ScriptPro machine we have was moved for the first time in who knows how long. There were about 60 vials/caps found underneath plus a dusty ahh Zpak that expired in 2010… Also these pics were taken by an overnight technician not me so shout

(34F, 5'5", non-smoker, USA) I feel terrible for even writing this, but it's been absolutely bothering me since I found out. I know someone that has told their husband they have cancer. But she's insisting it be kept a secret from everyone. Here's where I'm suspicious and maybe that's just my lack o

Hey everyone, So I work in a rural community pharmacy and a patient brought in a prescription for amoxi-clav for an ENT infection (otitis media, cough, sinus infection). I noticed that the amoxi-clav was severely under dosed and the doctor wrote to give 1/4 of what she’d need for her weight. Second

Amoxicillin and augmentin are all completely gone. Same with cefdinir. I have some azithromycin and penicillin and clindamycin left but we’re out of options. What are folks doing? Have we seen doctors trying any other antibiotics after having failed augmentin and cefdinir? Also just a shout out to a
