Shall I Take Penicillin To Treat A Case Of Coloitis?
want to know if i can take penicilin VK to treat a case of coloitis, just over the weekend until I can see my family physician? I also have an antibiotic called metronidazole, and it says it can treat stomach issues on website but wanted to ask someone first to be sure if either one of these antibiotics can hurt situation more than help.?
Penicillin VK is used in treatment of mild to moderately severe infections of bacterial etiology. But it should be taken under the guidance of a physician as it can cause severe side effects on individuals with previous hypersensitivity reaction to penicillin.
Metronidazole is used for management of infection caused by anaerobic organisms. Side effects include rash, nausea, metallic taste, etc & severe reactions if consumed along with alcohol.
So, if you experience any such symptom, immediately consult your physician.
