Is Lumenex Advisable For Person Allergic To Penicillin?
Question: Hi can i take lumenex 250 mg ( aminosidina ) if im allergic to penicillin? Tks
Brief Answer:
Lumenex is not a Penicillin group medicine
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Lumenex is Paramomysin which belongs to the Aminoglycoside group and is not a Penicillin group medicine. A person having allergy only to Penicillin can have Lumenex. However it is possible that one may have allergy to other substances including other antibiotics. So it is prudent to exercise caution and to take remedial measures if any allergic symptoms occur.
I shall be happy to answer if you have further queries.
Take Care.
