Suggest Alternate Over The Counter Medication For Amoxicillin
Question: Dear Dentist,
I was supposed to remove a Wisdom Tooth today.
The Anesthesia however didn't work due to the infection.
The doctor prescribed me Dalacin C (Clindamycin), Alphintern (2tabl/3xday), and Voltaren.
However, I am allergic to Amoxcyccline so i want to know that Dalacine is safe. Also I want to know if Alphintern is safe to take together with Dalacin. The Doctor didn't tell me because I am a foreigner here in Egypt.
I hope you can help me so.I also want to know if I can take Dalacine C together with Ibuprofen??

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain Amoxicillin and Clindamycin belongs to different groups of drugs and if you are allergic to Amoxicillin that belongs to Penicillin group, you can take Clindamycin as it belong to Lincosamide group..
Secondly Alphintern contain Chymotrypsin and is used to reduce inflammation, edema and swelling, therefore can be taken with Clindamycin as there is no problem in taking them together..
Also Clindamycin and Ibuprofen that is an anti inflammatory painkiller are to be taken together as they too do not cause any serious drug interactions..
So better continue with medication as advised to you and also get the wisdom tooth extraction done soon to prevent any complications like severe pain, swelling etc..
Hope this helps..
