Creon shortage and Pancrex V 125
Hi all, I was prescribed Creon 25000 about 3 months ago. Not great difference to how I was before since taking them but I have continued. However, due to the shortage/availability of Creon I have now been given Pancrex V 125 mg because that's all the pharmacy can obtain. Pancrex is 8 x weaker than Creon

Reaction between thyroid meds and antibiotics and increased sensitivity to prescription drugs
I have really been suffering with a sinus infection following Covid in December last year. My gp prescribed Doxycycline 100 mg capsules. This was at my request. I had suffered with a sinus infection for almost eighteen months following a previous bout of Covid. The side affects were not pleasant but

Enzymes
I was prescribed Creon not knowing they contained Pork ( I'm allergic to it) and within no time I had a reaction and had to take a antihistamine. Back to drawing board as all of them contain pork. My GP asked my consultant Gastroenterologist what's her advice. I'm still waiting for my urgent first appointment

Confusing outcome from mitral valve repair
My 9 year old son underwent open heart surgery in March for mitral valve repair for servere regurgitation. They are still trying to find out what caused it, all they know is he’s had some sort of infection/inflammation of the valves some point. Can’t say how long ago but the valve leaflets were like

Tonsillitis
So 2 days ago my sore throat started. Yesterday I noticed white spots on tonsils, went doctors and got prescribed Phenoxymethylpenicillin ( take 2 tablets 4 times a day). But today the white spots are even worse. Should the penicillin be working by now and reducing the white spots?

Wow some great news ! How did I ever cope without a fab consultant.
So no treatment since then after only 8 days of olumiant (so disappointed) but today doc has decided with loads of discussions with immunology that olumiant can begin again with
penicillin
V
as a immune system prop up.

Recurrent Cellulitis - genital area … therefore Trimethoprim 100mg
There is no need for additional
Penicillin
V
prophylaxis unless there are clear (separate) recurrent episodes of (lower) leg cellulitis as well. Does anyone have experience of this symptom or treatment? Many thanks in advance.

A bit of everything does you good so they say
Hi last Wednesday went to Dr with sore throat, turned out it was tonsillitis. Was prescribed phenoxymethylpenicillin 1000g a day for 10 days. By Thursday had bad head cold, by Friday chest infection. Hoping the AB I have will take care of this too. This is Monday still bringing up thick green rubbish

UPDATE FROM MY ADOC.....AND CELLULITIS
Monday night Tuesday morning I felt a hotness again in my shin...First thing on Tuesday morning got an emergency appointment at my GP. He took one look and confirmed it was the cellulitis. I would need a radical treatment of very strong penicillin. Prescibed 500mg multiplied by 2 of FLUCLOXACILLIN
