The term 'penicillin' actually refers to a family of antibiotics, which are in turn, included in the even larger family of Beta-lactam antibiotics. Generally speaking, if a person is allergic to penicillin antibiotics, they are also going to be allergic to other beta-lactam antibiotics, such as cephalosporin antibiotics.\n\nThere are quite a few alternatives to penicillin antibiotics that have been shown to have varying effectiveness against some or all forms of pneumonia-causing bacteria.  These include fluoroquinolones (e.g. ciprofloxin, moxifloxicin), macrolides (e.g. azythromycin, erythromycin), tetracyclines (e.g. doxycycline), lincosamides (e.g. clindamycin), ketolides (e.g. telithromycin) and glycopeptides (e.g. vancomycin).  There are several other types of non-beta-lactam antibiotics, but these are just a few that come to mind.

No difference whatsoever. It's just two different names for the same thing.

From my experience all medications have the same ingredients whether they are off brand of brand name. chemically they provide the same relief so just look at the ingredients on you sinus medications and you'll see there is no difference and there is no need to compare, you may just want to weigh what symptoms the medicines take care of

Treat with IM(intra-muscular) penicillin. Tetracycline or doxycycline may be used in patients with penicillin allergies.

For me: Plax. You use it before you brush, and it works everytime. I rinse my mouth with it for a minute every little while, and eventually it removes the irritant and cleans the space that is infected. If I get a toothache, it usually stops within an hour or so at most. If I use it regularly, I don't get a toothache. I don't need pain killers it goes so fast. Plax is easy on soft tissue, too. Really.

Did you go to the Pamprin website? They may have more info there. \n\nPersonally, I think MIDOL works a lot better. Just an FYI in case you haven't tried MIDOL yet. :)

Antibiotics that have been shown to interact with birth control pills include rifampin (brand name Rifadin), penicillin (Veetids), amoxicillin (Amoxil), ampicillin (Omnipen), cotrimoxazole (Septra or Bactrim), tetracycline (Sumycin), minocycline (Minocin), metronidazole (Flagyl), and nitrofurantoin (Macrobid or Macrodantin). For at least one week afterward doctors generally recommend that you use a condom or spermicide as a back-up method of birth control. If you are taking both antibiotics and birth control pills, be sure to check with your doctor about how long you should continue to use a back-up method.

Proctitis may be due to several different pathogens and different antibiotics may be indicated. Empiric therapy should be guided by local resistance patterns and antibiotic policies. As a general rule some wide-spectrum antibiotics are indicated as first choice unless a very specific cause has been identified. Doxycycline would be a reasonable bet for sexually transmitted diseases but there are several pathogens it will not work against.\n\nOnly a physical examination and history taking by a doctor can give a meaningful answer.

There is no difference.Penicillin is a antibiotic.Actually it is one of the best ones we have.It is very affective in clearing up strep throat.( I saw your other question too,So I thought I might answer both here)But if you had strep throat for a week or so ago,Before you went on a antibiotic.You might want to go to your doctors and maybe make sure it is gone,Because it will come back if it is not fully killed.You don't want to let that to happen,Because strep throat can cause heart problems.Better to be safe than sorry! Good Luck and I hope you get feeling better soon!

None. They are two different compounds.\n\nIt looks like you want to compare a specific property of the alcohols. Please specify!

No, Doxycycline is in the family of Tetracycline antibiotics.  Some people with allergies to cephalosporin antibiotics (Ceftriaxone, Cef... etc) often (10%) are also allergic to penicillin antibiotics (Amoxicillin, Penicillin etc) but there is no cross-reactivity with tetracyclines like doxycycline.\n\nIn any case, you should always tell your doctor what medications you are allergic to and he/she will prescribe the best medication for you.

It looks like treatment is aimed at relieving the symptoms.\n\nSurgery to remove the lesions may be accomplished with excellent cosmetic results when the number of lesions is few. However, in many cases the number and location of lesions may preclude surgical excision. Draining the lesions with a large needle is also temporarily effective. Oral antibiotics in the tetracycline family have been tried with limited success. Accutane has also been tried with mixed results. Improvement was seen in some patients while in other patients the condition actually worsened.

Tylenol past expiration will not harm you, but it might be sub-potent.  The expiration date is not when medication goes bad, but it is 100 per cent potent at least to the expiration date.  Tetracycline and its cousins (Doxycycline, etc) should NOT be taken past expiration.  They can cause liver damage.  Those are the only drugs which have adverse effects when expired.
