ANTIBIOTIC

I have a question on antibiotics...which one(s) are better for us? i tried keflex before and ended up with a yeast infection...i sure don't want one now!!! i had a root canal and i am almost positive i will be getting an antibiotic for it now. so which one should i ask for?

thanks in advance for your help...will check back later going to go back to bed

I don't know if you are limited due to the surgery.  If not, mention the problem to the doctor (or to a pharmacist) and ask for a recommendation.  I'm not sure if some antibiotics are better for people who are prone to yeast infections.  Plus, I have heard that yogurt is a good thing to eat to guard against them. 

Good luck,

Alot of antibotics cause yeast infections.  I was on clyndimyicin and got one.
I am now on Keflex and got one.  I think if your prone to yeast infections alot of antibiotics will cause one.

Maybe I am wrong but I seem to get one no matter what.

Hi Judy,

Seen your post, one thing to help with yeast infection from antibiotics is to eat yogart.  I usually consume 2-3 cartons a day when I take antibiotics.  Make sure they have active yogart cultures.  It helps alot.

I learned long ago that when I have to take an antibiotic, I ask for a prescription for Diflucan at the same time.  There is no antibiotic that doesn't leave you with a yeast infection.  You can buy OTC yeast treatments, but they are spendy.  If you have good insurance, it's far easier to take a pill.

yogurt and  acicophilus capsules help

good luck

 What Jacki said...just be diligent and take the homeopathic remedy!

thanks for all the posts to my question....i know what to do for the yeast infection (if i get one)...just thought someone would know which antibiotic is better for NOT getting one....thanks again!!!

Sadly, all antibiotics get rid of all the good and bad bacteria, and usually leave you with a yeast infection.  You can try eating yogurt during the course of antibiotics, and maybe prevent one, but for me it's inevitable.  Good luck.

thanks again....love your kitties!!! i sure miss mine!! had to leave him behind because rick already had a cat and his mom has two and bringing one more into the house was not feasable...(we lived at his mom's til we could get our own place) ricks cat is still at his moms because we can only have one furbrat in apartment and i couldn't give up bandit (shih tzu) for anything!!!

guess i will stock up on yogurt and hope for the best....
