How Often Are Antibiotics And PPI Given Along With Prednisone
Feb 22, 2016
I have general questions on those 3 above. Recently I have experience side effects ( I think) from the above medication and would like to decide if it is worth taking anything in addition to prednisone. Side effects are mainly with stomach and lately with cramps in the leg muscles. First I had constipation for month or so; lately it is soft stool, and frequent bathroom visits. I think side effects are caused by complete change in the bacteria culture in the intestines killed by antibiotics. What also does not help is PPI interfering with mineral absorption and ( most likely) causing low potassium and magnesium levels and thus muscle cramps.
So:
- How often are antibiotics and PPI given along with prednisone?
- How necessary is PPI if I take split dose, 5 mg each, and with lots of yogurt?
- After taper, at what level of pred one does not need antibiotics and/or PPI?
I have my monthly appointment with rheumatologist this week and would like to prepare for it.

I'm a 47 year old female prescribed this as a last resort in case my viral infection turns into a chest infection. I am very sensitive to any side effect and can't take a lot of the usual antibiotics because of this. Trimethoprim was a great one but caused severe blistering of the mouth and Erythromycin which caused severe breathing difficulties. One of the side effects on my leaflet with Oxy says it can cause 'swelling around the heart' - how safe is his stuff?? I have Left ventricular hypertrophy or LVH (the left side of my heart is enlarged) but my GP says this is nothing to worry about! Am I safe to take this drug with this condition?

I currently take losartan to lower blood pressure and have been taking amoxicillin for a sinus infection for 10 days but now my Dr. wants to switch to augmentin. Does anyone know if this will increase my potassium levels? I think augmentin contains potassium. Also, does prednisone raise your blood pressure?

I tested positive for gonorrhea today and my doctor gave me some antibiotics which I took as soon as I got home. My doctor told me that I shouldn't have unprotected sex for 7 days, however I was going to see my boyfriend in 8 days and I planned on having sex with him. Would it be safe to have sex with him without giving him gonorrhea if we used a condom? I figured it would be okay since it's past 7 days, but I just want to make sure.

I am on antibiotics right now and I was wondering if it could cause insulin sensitivity or maybe mess up my blood sugar? I am wondering because my grandma says it will mess me up and I should take my blood sugar reading more often. What is everyone's opinion on this?

My 16 year old son had an ear infection 2 weeks ago ( VERY PAINFUL )He has had a course of Distaclor antibiotics and for the pain relief we where able to double its effectiveness by alternating Ibuprofen and paracetamol about every 2 or 3 hours he had discharge from the ear which was red initially so I presume the drum has ruptured which caused some relief ! but he is still suffering hearing loss ! I am cautious about using ear drops at the moment incase this effects the ear drum !! any advice?

I visited a hospital on 5/15/14 with symptoms of a swollen and severe sore throat (a lot of pain when swallowing) and a 100 f temperature; my throat also had white patches on it. When the doctor saw my throat he said it looks like you have strep. Then he did the 5-10 minute strep swab test but it came back negative. Nevertheless, he still thought I most likely had it and that I should start treatment. We also tested for mono on that day and since then they haven't called back for that (if they don't call back assume negative they say).
He prescribed Amoxicillin 500 MG X2 daily for ten days. So far I have taken 2,000 MG (over the course of 2 days) and my throat still seems the same in regard to pain. The only thing that consistently seems to help my pain is Ibuprofen.
Should I worry? Should I go back to the hospital to see what's going on?

I was quite shocked when my gp recommended antibiotics for my hacking dry cough. I have the flu too. I started taking Clarithromycin yesterday morning. So far I have taken 3 tablets, so far so good! My violent cough which was totally debilitating and exhausting (non-stop) and causing me nearly to throw up has slightly improved, thanks definitely to the antibiotics I'm taking. I came here to check out other's opinions on taking this antibiotic. I don't like taking any tablets and what I read on this site nearly put me off starting the course. But luckily, I read a couple of good reviews on here so decided to bite the bullet. So far, I'm glad to have taken three tablets as already I'm starting to come back to life. Still got a fairly raging cough but have found it easier to cope and control. The only noticeable side-effects so far have been with a tummy ache, but otherwise it's all positive! If symptoms persist or side effects increase, I will come back and report!
