| Add Ampicillin review I have been urinating more often and having the urge to go more at night. It makes me feel dehydrated and my lips would chapped more often. My urine has a strong smell to it. However, it has reduce some of my acne! I like that though. Other than that I will be back at the clinic again for my urine check! This medicine works, but when your pregant and all you want to do is eat, it's hard to get it in 4 times in one day with the eating restrictions. I usually only managed to fit it in my day 3 times. | 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. | |||
