Can Novaclox Be Used As A Substitute For Amoxycillin For Upset Stomach?

default
Posted on Tue, 9 Jun 2015
Question: I am experiencing an upset stomach. I am travelling and had called up my family doctor. He suggested Amoxycillin with lactobacillus. I was able to get Novaclox LB (Amoxycillin, Dicloxacin and LActic Acid BAcillus)... Is this a relevant substitute..

I am allergic to Norflox and metrodinazole

Thanks for your time..

Brief Answer:
It can be used. Better use Blumox LB.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to healthcare Magic. Thank you for posting your query.

I have gone through the entire post and can understand that you are allergic to fluroquinolone (Norfloxacin) and Metronidazole group of drugs.

Your doctor has rightly prescribed Amoxycillin with Lactobacillus.

I would start Tablet Blumox LB .
Novaclox LB can be used if Blumox LB is not available.

Do not worry.
Drink oral rehydartion solution to replenish the volume lost through stool.
Keep yourself hydrated.
Avoid spicy food.

Hope this helps.
Post any other question.
We will be happy to help.
Regards.
