Amoxicillin 500mg

I have tooth and gum causing me greif, Doc said it was from grinding my teeth during all these emotional trails I have been going through the last few months with the new PM, I am assuming that Amox is safe for me to take with SSS. I took Cipo a few months back and it sent my heart into afib, Doctor said ER Doc should have known better that to put you on that. Cipo that is.

....I'm no Doctor, but I went into Open Heart Surgery in '07 with an infected tooth..not someting to make me feel good about going into theatre.

My Dentist wrote to my surgeon saying that, in his view , there was no reason not to proceed with the OP

I was on Amoxicilin...surgery went ahead and went well

After a complete ,..sucessfull recovery , I would take , before any Dental Procedure...including..'just'..a scrape and polish.. a ..wait for it ...3mg single dose of Amoxy..do the math..SIX times more than you have identified.

The history of heart infection as a result of tooth infection is pretty well (in my experience ) ,..beyond doubt.

I was in hospital with a guy who was SO toxic that he was there for weeks having his blood 'washed through'. so they could work on him.

The Medical Lawyers have revised the position regarding the risk re ,/ Dentist / Patient here in the UK
No need for , what was called 'Cover'..(who was being covered ? )..

wrg...I always have a 21 day Amoxicillin pack and a 3 gram Emergency Sachet with me wherever I go.

Cardiac issues, quite naturally get a lot of people on the Back Foot....seems to me that the best line of defense is

1 Have a good Doctor who listens to you

2 Get informed .its YOUR life

3 Dont get scared,..I mean,..********************** its not that bad

Keep us all in touch,..there is so much to learn and share

Tatto Man..who, so many would agree, just aint a clue, but just keeps on........

Amoxycillin / Ciprofloxacin

Hi wrg Yes amoxycillin is safe to take if you have Sick Sinus Syndrome. Amoxycillin is a penicillin and penicillins do not affect heart rhythm.

Ciprofloxacin belongs to a different group of antibiotics. It is a quinolone and can have cardio side effects ie it can lead to a fast irregular heartbeat , which is probably what you had..... and is the last thing you need when you have SSS !

The main thing that limits the usefulness of amoxycillin ( apart from penicillin allergies ) is the fact that it has been around for years and years and lots of bugs are now resistant to it . I hope it works for you ; you may need to combine it with something else though .

As T Man says , amoxycillin can be taken at high doses because it is a safe drug but it is more likely to cause gastro-intestinal disturbances as you raise the dosage.

Best of luck

Ian
