They are different versions of penicillin. Amoxicillin is the drug of choice (DOC) for sinus infections, It doesn't work well at all against bone infections. If the infection is treated during the first 2-3 days, Pen VK is the DOC. After that, augmentin is DOC. \n\nYour oral surgeon may be concerned about a soft tissue infection that has gone on longer than 3 days.\n\nSorry Nightrain551 but Amoxicillin is NOT recommended for bone infections - it has very poor bone penetration.

Besides cinnamon, there are many herbal supplements claiming to lower blood sugar levels. If you are a diabetic and on medication, you must not stop taking your medication while you are trying on cinnamon or any other herbal supplements., and please have your sugar level check to ascertain that it doesnt drop too drastically (who knows, cinnamon may be effective). Hopefully, over a period of time, say 3 mths or so, your dr may advise you to lower the dosage of your medication. Good luck trying.

amoxicillin is given by weight not age...depending on the strength per mg would determine whether it is taken 2 or 3 times a day.....i would recommend calling your local pharmacy and speak to the pharmacist.....they can calculate it over the phone....thats the best bet

The study originally reported in 2002 that diuretics were more beneficial as initial treatment for high blood pressure for protecting against adverse cardiovascular outcomes. This latest analysis shows that even among diabetics and those with mildly elevated fasting glucose � a sign of pre-diabetes � the less costly diuretics are at least as effective, may be more beneficial for some people. \n\nAbout 73 percent of adults with diabetes have high blood pressure � which in diabetic patients is defined as greater than or equal to 130/80 mm Hg � or use prescription medications for their hypertension. Both diabetes and high blood pressure are major risk factors for coronary heart disease, and when both are present, significantly increase the risk for developing heart and kidney diseases. High blood pressure can lead to congestive heart failure, a condition in which the heart is weakened and cannot pump enough blood throughout the body. \n\n�Controlling high blood pressure is an urgent concern especially for people with diabetes. Our findings demonstrate the advantages of diuretics in diabetics as well as in those with impaired and normal fasting glucose levels,� said NHLBI director Dr. Elizabeth G. Nabel. �As a physician, I have seen the consequences of poorly controlled hypertension and diabetes. These results show many people and their families can be spared that devastation.� \n\nThe ALLHAT blood pressure study was a randomized, double-blind trial involving 42,418 participants with high blood pressure, ages 55 and older. Of those, 31,512 participants were randomly assigned to a diuretic (chlorthalidone); a calcium channel blocker (amlodipine); an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor (lisinopril). 13,101 had diabetes, 1,399 had elevated fasting glucose and 17,012 had normal glucose levels. \n\nCompared with the ACE inhibitor and the calcium channel blocker, the diuretic was: \nMore protective against congestive heart failure in patients both with and without diabetes (by about 1/6 compared with the ACE-inhibitor, and by about 1/3 compared with the calcium channel blocker). \n\n\nMore effective in lowering systolic blood pressure � the measure of blood pressure when the heart beats � among those with and without diabetes. \n\n\nAt least equally protective against fatal coronary heart disease or non-fatal heart attacks in people with diabetes, those with elevated fasting glucose, and non-diabetics. \n\n\nEqually protective against death from all causes, end-stage kidney disease, or cancer in people with diabetes, those with elevated fasting glucose, and non-diabetics. \n\n\nIn Black study participants, more protective against stroke in people with and without diabetes (compared with the ACE-inhibitor). \n\n\n\n�This study shows the advantage of diuretics for preventing congestive heart failure in most people with high blood pressure � regardless of diabetes status. Because some patients may respond differently to medications, they should discuss these results and their treatment with their doctors before making any changes�, advises Dr. Jeffrey Cutler, NHLBI Senior Adviser. \n\nThere were more heart attacks among participants with impaired fasting glucose taking the calcium channel blocker compared with those taking the

There is no cure for diabetes mellitus, only proper control of your blood glucose to prevent any resulting health problems.  As for the tablet for of glucose control, there are actually several mechanisms of action that the oral medications can take.  In the broadest sense (the actual cellular-level effects vary within each class) is that the pills can do one of the following (with specific classes in the parentheses):\n\n-Cause the remaining active pancreatic beta cells to release insulin at higher levels (sulfonylureas, meglitinides, and D-phenylalanine derivatives)\n-Reduce gluconeogenesis, or the formation of glucagon, the storage form of glucose (biguanides)\n-Reducing insiulin resistance (Thiazolidinediones)\n-Reduced absorbed sugars (alpha glucosidase inhibitors)

There has been research going on for many many years in this field....best place to start with any info is your own doctor...you say your glucose isnt stabilized...if thats the case then you should be under a doctors care for it....all hospitals have counselors and information needed for diabetes and its treatment.Many of the teaching hospitals is where alot of the research is happening.

It is one of the more powerful oral antibiotics, combining amoxicillin (which fights the bacteria) and clavulanic acid, which helps to fight bacterial resistance.  Its uses are plenty, but mostly having to do with upper respiratory and ear infections.

You may want to try Acidophilus. My 7yr old daughter had re-occurring infections from antibiotics and suffered for years until finally a Pediatrician told us to take Acidophilus to put the natural balance back in order. GNC is the only place that I've found that carries a chewable form, but you can also get the pill form at WalMart. I now treat every infection with only this product. I take up to eight chewables 2x's daily. It restores the balance within one day. These are not medications, but the natural bacteria that keep things in check in our bodies.

Insulin shock is a severe condition in which glucose (blood sugar) levels drop quickly, leading to dizziness, vision problems, shaking, seizures, fainting and unconsciousness.\n-----------------\nMethods of prevention vary depending on the cause of the hypoglycemia.\nDrug-induced Hypoglycemia\n\nThe first step in preventing drug-induced hypoglycemia is to maintain a proper diet. Diabetics may also find it necessary to monitor their blood-sugar levels on a regular basis. Low blood-sugar levels indicate that a person should immediately eat candy or some other sweet snack. Insulin pumps are also effective in maintaining the proper level of blood sugar. These pumps can be implanted under the skin and programmed to continuously release the correct amount of insulin.\nIdiopathic Hypoglycemia\n\nIdiopathic hypoglycemia can usually be controlled by learning and following certain dietary rules. These rules include the following:\n\n    * Avoid overeating.\n    * Never skip breakfast.\n    * Include protein in all meals and snacks.\n    * Limit intake of fats, refined sugar, and processed foods.\n    * Become familiar with the sugar content in different kinds of vegetables and grain products.\n    * Keep a food diary that can be used to predict which foods produce the symptoms of hypoglycemia.\n    * Eat a regular but limited amount of fresh fruits.\n    * Follow a diet that is high in fiber.

There are two ways that antibiotics potentially can reduce the action of birth control pills. Birth control pills contain estrogens. Some antibiotics, e.g., rifampin, griseofulvin, cause the enzymes in the liver to increase the break-down of estrogens and thereby can decrease the levels of estrogens in the body and the effectiveness of the pills. This can result in unwanted pregnancy. Therefore, individuals taking birth control pills should use a second method of birth control when taking these antibiotics or other drugs that can increase the break-down of estrogens.\n\nThe other way that antibiotics could interfere with the effectiveness of birth control pills is by reducing the re-circulation of estrogens within the body. Estrogens, e.g., ethinyl estradiol, in birth control pills are broken-down by conversion in the liver to other chemicals which are then secreted into the intestines in the bile that is produced by the liver. Bacteria in the intestine are able to convert these chemicals back into the active estrogen which is then reabsorbed into the body.. This re-circulation is called entero-hepatic cycling. Theoretically, antibiotics can kill the bacteria that convert the inactive chemicals to the active estrogen, and, therefore, may interfere with the effectiveness of birth control pills. Unwanted pregnancies could occur. Although it has not been proven that unwanted pregnancies can occur by this means, drug manufacturers caution that antibiotics could decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills. Since it is better to be safe than sorry, individuals taking birth control pills are advised to use a second reliable method of birth control when taking antibiotics.

i´m a general surgeon.\n2400mg of amoxicillin is a lot. a 84 pound kid is considered an adult for that kind of drug. in my opinion 500mg three times a day would be enough.

It might not be related to the meds but rather the diabetes itself.\n\nDiabetics don't always heal quickly or well, and can be prone to infections.\n\nI'd suggest he see his dr.

In case of penicillin based drugs: they inhibit bacterial capacity to build a bacterial wall, so bacteria get killed by lisis. Eukariotic cells don't have a cell wall so they are not affected by penicillin.\n\nSimilarly happens with other kinds of antibiotics

most antibiotics become less effective or ineffective when you drink.  I wouldn't do it myself.  Usually, when you fill a prescription like this, it has a warning label that you should not drink alcohol with this product.  Check the package.

I am currently trying to work with my body to prevent having to take insulin. I have brought my sugar has come down by walking. What I found surprising was that starches turn to sugar. If you are just reducing sweets, I found out, think again. If you have rice, have brown rice, whole wheat instead of white flour and I have just laid off the potatoes for now. It seems hard at first, but, one you find out where those sneaky buggers hide, it helps a lot. Booze turns to sugar too, especially beer. Watching the diet and walking really help. The walking especially works because it is a way of burning up excess sugar. Good Luck, I have reduced my sugar from 8 down to 6.2 in three months. Go to your pharmacist and see if he will go over your husband's medications and advise you if any could cause a higher sugar reading. Ask him to put this information in to the computer to avoid any meds that aggravate his situation.
