What happens if we take a lesser dose of antibiotics?
A lower dose of antibiotics can mean you're still exposed to the bacteria your doctor was trying to kill. If you still have some days left on your treatment, I'd suggest you start taking the prescribed dose ASAP.If it was a preventive treatment (you didn't have any infections), you'll be fine as long as you don't develop any symptoms. Keep an eye out for any redness, soreness, swelling and fever. If you were prescribed antibiotics because you already had an infection, you should probably go see your doctor again. You might have to start the treatment again.Please be careful with your antibiotics in the future. Low doses make it easier for the bacteria to develop resistance (since they're not powerful enough to kill), and it could lead to more difficult infections in the future.
How much Naproxen would it take for me to overdose?
I AM NOT CONSIDERING KILLING MYSELF, SO SPARE ME THE "DON'T KILL YOURSELF" TALK. How many 500mg Naproxen would I have to take before overdosing/dying? I'm 5'7, 149lbs, 14 almost 15 years old.
Why is low-dosage aspirin packaged in 81 mg capsules and tablets? The news articles all said 75 mg.
I believe 80mg was the pediatric dose of aspirin (ASA). Since there is some risk to using ASA over the alternatives in children, there are usually restrictions on its sale to prevent such use.The solution? Sell an 81mg product and market it for use in adults. Doses >80mg don't fall under the pediatric category, at least where I live.

Is it safe to consume half a gram (500 mg) of pure MDMA?
I have taken over 100 ecstasy pills in my life, sometimes as many as 4 at one time (which made me feel like crap) but I have never tried pure MDMA. My friend, whom I bought it from, says he has taken upto 1500 mg of it at one time. Even if my friend said this, I am asking you experienced rollers out there: what are the downsides of consuming 500 mg of pure MDMA?
Why does Taurine make my chest tight - feels like asthma?
I'm on a great diet called the Allergy and Asthma Cure. It's a great diet and rally helping. I cut my meds down by 75%. I started taking Taurine this morning. Couldn't find a dose lower than 500mg to start with, so I emptied the capsule until only a quarter was left and took it. With an half hour, my chest got tight like it does when my asthma and allergies act up. It lessened over the course of the next five hours. The great news is that I've never felt so relaxed! Although I felt a little drugged when I first took it. I have panic disorder and agoraphobia and heard it's great for that. I believe them! What causes the chest tightness? Should I continue with the Taurine? My blood pressure was 95/68 last time I got it checked. I'm also on Flovent, Cal/Mag, Fish Oil, probiotics, Vit. C, Aloe, Chromiun, B-Complex. Enzymes, Ginger and Gingko. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
What is the use of Azee 500mg?
Azee (Azithromycin) is used to treat various bacterial infections. It is an antibiotic of the macrolide type, and is sometimes also referred to as Azithromysin. This medication is not effective in treating viral infections. Bacterial infections treated can include upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) including pharyngitis and acute otitis, lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) including acute bronchitis and pneumonia, uncomplicated genital Infections including cervicitis and urethritis, skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) including pyoderma and furuncolosis as well as other conditions not listed here.Both Azithromycin and Erythromycin are macrolides that are used to fight a variety of infections, especially those of the soft tissues, upper and lower respiratory tract and uro genital infections. Azithromycin is a derivative of Erythromycin. However, they differ in their mechanism and onset of action. There are a number of factors which may determine the choice of medication the doctor prescribes for you.Azithromycin is usually administered in the form of an oral suspension or as a tablet. The main convenience of the tablet form is that it can be taken as a single pill once daily. Depending on the severity of your symptoms and your exact cause of infection, a doctor may prescribe a dose of either 250 mg or 500 mg. Your doctor may also prescribe a double dose on the first day of treatment and then follow it up with four or five days of treatment.Erythromycin is basically used for infections where people are resistant to penicillin. It provides a wider coverage for upper respiratory tract infections. Erythromycin might be prescribed by your doctor in the form of tablets, slow release capsules, ophthalmic solutions and ointments, gels etc. The exact mechanism by which Erythromycin acts is not known. However, it is known that it may have some sort of bactericidal action. Azithromycin functions by stopping the growth of the bacteria inside the body. This is done by obstructing their protein synthesis.Always ask your doctor or pharmacist about the drug, its effects, interactions etc. http://www.unitedpharmacies.com/...
Does two 500mg equal 1 g?
I was wondering because the medicine itself calls for 1g for proper treatment...If i take two 500mg of the same medicine, will that give me the 1g needed or does it need to be a 1g capsule as described.
0.75g is ordered. scored tabs are labled 500mg how many tabs do i give?
not knowing what it is. if you need the 0.75 take 1 1/2 tabs but if you are not sure really how much you need take just one and see how you feel sometimes the lower dose does what you need it to. & then they will last longer too. good luck.
