Glad to hear you're starting to feel better. Doxycycline were my saviour when I used to get awful sinusitis many years ago. When I was prescribed Co Amoxiclav a few years back, the nurse called them beasts (I think it was because they are quite strong). Hope it's all cleared for you soon. x
Glad to hear you're starting to improve. I went through a phase of needing co amoxiclav for horrible chest infections associated with my bronchiectasis, they are absolute whoppers to swallow but always did the job . I found it helpful to have a pro biotic yoghurt every day to help my stomach when taking them.
My Doxy are quite small? Odd. Perhaps they’ve given you a higher dose. Mine are usually 100mgs over 14 days. Could never swallow a fluffy type tablet that starts dissolving in the throat. I have to take everything as capsules. 😑
Don’t think I would take any now after side affects and spending 3days in hospital finding I was allergic to them. Please check ok with your regular medication because obviously chemist didn’t when I was given mine.
Yes I’m mending but broken ribs take couple of months and it was only a month ago. Yes because never had a bad reaction to medication before with blackouts etc and I live alone
Thank you Sylvi! This has been going on for three weeks now. I get to the end of the prescription and it comes back. So fed up with lack of sleep and coughing!Hope your finger is better today.
I had never heard of them before! More new stuff to learn about- does it have to be medication? Could it be exotic holiday destinations ?Hope they help you 😄
I had a cough for 5 years until I was prescribed azithromycin 500mg 3 times a week as a prophylactic and for my asthma. My cough stopped after about 3 weeks and I haven’t coughed since! Nobody could work out why a coughed. Azithromycin is the same size as yours and I call them my horse pills too. I also take Adcal, an antihistamine and a capsule for my eye health (I have macular) and they’re all a similar size!
What is the matter with these pill makers? When you feel so ill that you need the blasted things the last thing you need is a lesson on swallowing rocks!Help us out here! Manufacturing tiny tablets would be a dream for us!
Glad you are improving good to hear think I might be going back for a similar prescription tomorrow hope I get amoxyclav like you they are beasts but I’ve had two rounds of doxycycline and even worse ciprofloxacin which I swear I will never have again !! Glad you seem to have found something which seems to help. I’m going to try and get a f2f with GP tomorrow think I proper chat is in order.
