    Default Antibiotic meds. question

    I got a prescription from my 1st Dentist for penicillin, and the 2nd dentist I got treated at for a root canal (cheaper) prescribed me amoxicillin, so do you think it would be okay to take the latter after I finish out my first script? I know I should probably ask my dentist but I forgot last time I was there.

    Thanks

    Hey Jeska,

    I would definately rely on a medical professional for this--the doctor's nurse should be able to tell you. I've been through a lot of antibiotics for ear problems in the past, and the docs were very specific about it...so give a call to make sure you do it right and are safe. It will give you peace of mind as well.

    Hope you're feeling better soon.

    Thats 100% a doctor necessary question.

    Antibiotics can be tricky because if you don't take them long enough you might have only weakened viruses and not warded them off completely. It can be a very specific process like jhuka mentioned. Either way doctors should definitely know everything that you have been prescribed and are taking so they can double check for interactions, etc...

    different antibiotics effect the body in different ways.
