| Add Amoxicillin review My dentist prescribed 1500 mgs daily to clear up an abcessed tooth so it could be pulled. My only problems were that it has made me very tired, but it did reduce the swelling in the abcessed tooth; and also gave me a headache each day. Prrescribed Amoxicillin QID 500mg post root canal surgery. Besides the normal intestinal distress, developed dry eye syndrome and severe tinnitus. Will not take again. This medication causes anxiety issues Ive been prescribed Amoxicillin along with other medications to treat my H. Pylori infection. i don't know if it was the infection or the medication, but i do have frequent bowl movements and i usually feel really nauseous. my trips to the bathroom were long and very frequent, frequent enough to occur at least twice or three times during school. for anyone who is taking this medication or taking t ... I developed constipation and passed a hard stool giving me hemmorrhoids, leaving me with a bloated abdomen and queasy feeling and flu like symtoms. I call the local pharmacist and he said no it couldn't be the medication, ODD I was ok right before taking it. He said it was a rare chance and that the warnings and side affects in the phamplet that came with the medication was just in there to cover ... | Add Penicillin review I have taken Penicillin VK for tooth infection. This medication works very effectively for the infection. I have seen many comments on this drug with people saying they are still in pain. Pen VK does not treat the pain of the tooth infection it just takes care of the infection. I would be better to ask your dentist or doctor for a pain medication to take with the Pen VK. The only time Pen VK gives pain relief is when the infection is gone. just started, can't say if its doing what it should. only on my second day and already having bad issues with diarrhea and my throat is really sore. had to miss work, and taking the pill every 6hrs is annoying. I will have to talk to my dentist to see if there is something else with less side effects.. I was prescribed this medication after an attempted root canal,which the doctor broke my tooth,and I ended up getting surgery from another doctor. It was for infection,and worked good in that respect. It was not for pain. | |||
