Prophylactic Antibiotics

[GrannyTWest]

Has anyone been on permanent phophylatics to avoid cellulitis? I've been on them for 4 years and am told my white blood count is slightly low. I kinda wonder if these antibiotics are causing this. I'd love to hear from anyone.

Yes, antibiotics can affect white cell production, but this should be being monitored by your GP, so that adjustments can be made in dosages.

Thanks for this Lynora. No I'm not monitored but I will get on to my GP asap and get my dose adjusted.
