Clarithromycin

this may seem a little daft...but I have been put on this to help fight the virus I have...but since taking it I have experienced what I consider very bad hiccups (they hurt and last a long time) - doesn't say in the leaflet but could the 2 be connected?

[Sqad]

They might be...........but I doubt it very much.

[berniecuddles]

just look at a picture of sqad the fright will cure you LOL

I really am making a massive guess here, and I'm sure Sqad will laugh at me, but could you be gulping air when you swallow the tablets with water?

I struggle taking tablets and tend to gulp water and air, sometimes leading to hiccups.

(Hope you feel better soon.)

Was just curious Sqad, its bloody annoying. But to be fair they have helped a tremendous lot. The dr took me off the Flucloxacillin though but I'm assuming that this will also help clear off anything in my foot? It was a lot better and not red or pus-y or sore when she changed the meds

[Sqad]

sqad is not laughing........LOL....LOL.....LOL

Seriously though 2sp has the most likely answer.

[queenofmean]

LOL Bernie!

2sp - i'm good at taking tablets, so I'm not really gulping unfortunately but anything is possible - but its a good point and I don't think Sqad will laugh

[berniecuddles]

sorry sqad your hulkness couldnt help it

[2sp_]

Really, Sqad??? I think I may be shocked enough to stop hiccups!

[Sqad]

bernie...;-)

[queenofmean]

My mum tried the scaring thing...it didn't work...

Sqad I don't think you are scary at all :)

I recently bought myself a compact mirror with a 10x magnification... That's frightening.

[queenofmean]

I'm sure its not that bad 2sp

QoM, I bought it to help me pluck those odd wee hairs I sometimes find on my chin, turns out I'm more akin to Brian Blessed that I first thought.

[queenofmean]

Aww bless 2sp

Why are they giving antibiotics for a virus?

[anneasquith]

not for the virus,,,,infected toe.

[queenofmean]

I think it was for both Anne...it was give me something or end up in hospital :( but the ones they change me to have worked wonders :)

[anneasquith]

I hope you are not at work Q ?

[queenofmean]

I was at work Anne. I managed fine it was fairly quiet so wasn't too bad. Everybody kept an eye on me which was good. I am tired but I had a lousy night last night
