Can humans safely use fish antibiotics?

Yes, same stuff you take by prescription, vet grade..same stuff. BUT certainly more expensive than if you have prescription. OF course, by the time you add up what it cost for a doc visit and the drug, it can get pricey quickly. If you want to use Tetracycline, no problem, start with 2 each 250 mg, then one 4 times a day for 10 days...should kill anything you have, unless the bug is resistant.

That's what my doctor has always told me, but thanks to your question I just did a little research and it seems that is only true for certain medications, such as anti-fungals.\n\nHere is a reference from June of 2004:\n\nhttp://www.antibioticresistance.org.uk/ARFAQs.nsf/0/C2E63418D2370AED80256EBA004D9B3D?OpenDocument\nDespite a commonly held belief that antibiotics and alcohol don't mix, it is only necessary to avoid drinking alcohol when taking some types of antibiotics. These include metronidazole, cephamandole and oral ketoconazole. See the following recommendations from GP notebook for more details. You should check with your doctor or pharmacist when you are given your prescription.\n\nThe famous Dr. Andrew Weil has this to say:\n\nhttp://www.drweil.com/u/QA/QA326593/\n\n Do Alcohol and Antibiotics Mix?\n\nDoes drinking while taking antibiotics lessen the effect of the medication?\n\nA widespread myth holds that you shouldn't drink alcohol while taking antibiotics, but in fact, drinking doesn't lessen the effects of the drugs. However, alcohol can lower your general energy and delay your recovery so it is best to minimize drinking until you've finished the prescribed course of antibiotic treatment. (Beyond that, chronic liver damage from excessive alcohol consumption can affect the metabolism and toxicity of antibiotics.)\n\nThere are other precautions you should take when on antibiotics. Antibiotics not only kill harmful bacteria that are making you sick, they also destroy the beneficial flora in your gut and can promote the development of resistant organisms in your body. To restore the helpful organisms, be sure to take supplemental acidophilus while you're on antibiotics. Acidophilus is the general name for dried or liquid cultures of the living lactobacillus bacteria that aid digestion. Always check the expiration date to help ensure that the acidophilus product you choose is still viable. Take one tablespoon of the liquid culture advertisement\n \nor one to two capsules after meals, unless the label directs otherwise. I recommend taking acidophilus to restore "friendly" cultures even when on antibiotics for just a few days. And I particularly recommend products containing lactobacillus GG, a strain proven to survive passage through the strong acid in the stomach.

The mercury-in-fish dietary guidelines issued by the Food and Drug Administration are only for pregnant women, women who are planning to become pregnant, and young children. And even then, the FDA's guidelines are overly cautious. The FDA has issued no consumption advice about the amount of fish that's safe for older kids, teens, men, post-menopausal women, and women who don't plan to become pregnant.\nIn the FDA's own words, its mercury guideline "was established to limit consumers' methyl mercury exposure to levels 10 times lower than the lowest levels associated with adverse effects." So even if a pregnant woman consumed twice as much mercury as the FDA's recommended limit, she would still be protected by a 500-percent cushion.\nSo determine which category you are and eat accordingly. \nThere is tuna consumption calculator but rough estimate is that it is safe to eat 2 ounces for 3 ponds of you weigh.\nexample you weight 120 lbs \nmultiply it by 2 and divided by 3 = 80 ounces of tuna per week almost 2 lbs.

Shopping Hints \nIf you find you can't tolerate one brand of fish oil supplements, try another. Side effects vary from brand to brand. \n\nDon't try to save money by buying fish oil supplements in bulk because they can go rancid very quickly. Always store fish oil pills in the refrigerator. \n\nDon't buy cod liver oil to get your omega-3s. It contains high amounts of vitamin A and vitamin D, both of which can be toxic in large doses. \n\nWhen buying a fish oil supplement, avoid the fish species which contain the toxin mercury or other contaminants such as Chlordane. Fresh wild fish such as sardines, anchovies, and herring, are the good choices.

Your body will adapt to antibiotics, prevention however, is easy, wash your hands (alot), avoid anti-bacterial soap (they will also kill the good bacterias that we need), eat right and take vitamins. Simple, yet affective.

not at all , its very healthy!   the only time you have to limit  your  ingestion of seafood is when you are pregnant , due to the possibility of mercury, but other than that , enjoy!

It depends on what you mean by "safe."  It sounds like you want to know when things are 100% safe, and the answer to that is, unfortunately, "never."\n\nFirst, antibiotics are never 100% effective.  Resistance may mean that the bacteria remain even after the full treatment.  \n\nSecondly, if a person has one STD, they often have another.  A man's genito-urinary system is notorious for "hiding" infections that would be more obvious in women. \n\nIf you are wondering when it is safe in a specific situation, then God only knows.  I'm not sure what antibiotic you are referring to - it doesn't sound like a typical treatment for gonorrhea.  (Some antibiotics have no effect on gonorrhea.)  \n\nThe answer you are probably looking for is how long does it take for the typical gonorrhea infection to clear after proper treatment.  In theory, it could be as soon as a few days, but each individual case is different.  I would say at least 2 weeks to be on the safe side.\n\nFinally, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS use protection.  The only 100% effective protection is abstinence.  Condoms help, but they are not 100% effective against preventing STDs (even ones that do not break).

It is probably a myth.  I eat fish chowder all the time, made with fish and milk.  I don't ever get sick from it.

Yes I have used natural anti-virals/bacterials for years and they work great. I don't fear the bird flu, westnile, etc. You have to take charge of your health because if you are counting on the government to help you, you are gonna die.

Yes, I believe it can be.  \nIf you look this drug up on the internet, it says that you can use it for pneumonia.

It is an antibiotic. It could be used if you have an infection.

Not necessarily.  Anybody on medication has be sure that it does not interact with grapefruit.  It can be harmful.

It is an infction that came about because a person or people only took the first few doses of thier antibiotics - all that does is kill off the weaker bacteria, and allows the strongest to survive and thrive. Once the infection with this leftover strong bacteria gets full blown, antibiotics don't always work to destroy it. That is why you have to take ALL of your doses of antibiotics. This is becoming a world problem. In a lot of southeast asian countries, if people get sick, they can go buy antibiotics over the counter. They take them only until they 'feel better', which means that the bacteria is probably not gone, and that only the strongest are left to reproduce. Some bacteria like this adapts to the point where it actually feeds off the antibiotics, killing the host. The only way to take care of this problem is for basically the entire planet to keep careful control of antibiotics.  Some strains are becoming resistant because of this.

The bottles whether you buy omega 3 (fish oil) capsules at Walmart or health-food stores, will have the daily dosage on the label.\n\nMy advice is to take it!  It helps the brain considerably - and most certainly more than doing nothing at all. My only suggestion would be to contact your doctor and make sure its nothing that would have a bad reaction to medicines you might currently take.\n\nIf there is no risk of dangerous interaction - then take it.

Not sure about humans but high levels of nitrates can kill fish.  However if you're drinking water with that high of a concentration, it probably doesn't taste very good.\n\nGet a water filter.

It is used as a fungicide and parasiticide in fish. If you define fungi as bacteria, it does inhibit bacterial growth. There are several parasites that affect fish and the compound is used to kill the parasites at low levels.
