Allergic Reactions to Medication/antibiotics Posted: 08-15-07 12:26pm
My sister is taking antibiotics for an
infection . she has taken Keflex and
Augmentin and is having a reaction to
both. She says they make impossible to
take care of daily task. Serious stomach
problems and unable to eat. Has anyone
ever had this problem?? How was it
resolved the Doctor has told her that they
are running out of options in the mean
time she is paying over 500 dollars for
doctor visits and medication that is
really of no use. Any advice would be
great.

Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate
potassium) is a prescription antibiotic
that is licensed to treat various types of
infections. Keflex (cephalexin) is
typically used to treat common bacterial
infections.
The most common side effects of Augmentin
include:
* Diarrhea or loose stools -- in up to
9 percent of people
* Nausea -- up to 3 percent
* Vomiting -- up to 1 percent.
More serious side effects of Augmentin
NEED TO BE REPORTED to the physician ASAP.
Signs of an allergic reaction, including
unexplained rash, hives, itching,
unexplained swelling, wheezing, or
difficulty breathing or swallowing...are
one such symptom.
The same is true for Keflex. Hives,
severe or watery diarrhea, bloody stools,
throat or mouth sores, unexplained
bleeding or bruising, rashes etc.
Symtpoms such as itching and wheezing,
difficulty breathing or swallowing and
swelling of the throat also need to be
reported.
Good luck to your sister! She needs to
talk to a physician ASAP.

Hi,
well, do you know The Laws of the
Pharmaceutical Industry?
....
4. The marketplace for the pharmaceutical
industry is the human body - but only for
as long as the body hosts diseases. Thus,
maintaining and expanding diseases is a
precondition for the growth of the
pharmaceutical industry.
5. A key strategy to accomplish this goal
is the development of drugs that merely
mask symptoms while avoiding the curing or
elimination of diseases. This explains why
most prescription drugs marketed today
have no proven efficacy and merely target
symptoms.
....
11. Vitamins and other effective natural
health therapies that optimize cellular
metabolism threaten the pharmaceutical
"business with disease" because they
target the cellular cause of today's most
common diseases - and these natural
substances cannot be patented.
-----------
you need to restore/normalize your body
metabolism mechanism, try to get Zalmanov
book "Secrets and wisdom of the human
body", his method really cures
Good luck

Agreed...I'm of the opinion that
pharmaceuticals treat SYMPTOMS and not the
disease. Yogi practitioners blame eating
incorrectly as the cause of all
illness...and I've confirmed this with my
own experience.
