Can GG-N7 Cure Throat Cancer?

Yes you may. My friend has been diagnosed with throat cancer. They have stretched her throat on several occasions not to be repeated. But now wish to replace it. She has been prescribed GG-N7 as part of her problem for influenza. Will this antibiotic help?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Pill imprint GG N7 has been identified as amoxicillin/clavulanate 875 mg / 125 mg and is antibiotic given for bacterial infection in the throat. This is a medication to treat infection and give relief of symptoms from the bacterial flu.

This medicine is not to cure throat cancer. However it will take care of any secondary infection in the throat and improve general condition of your friend should she be starting chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Cancer of throat is to be staged first with CT scan and a biopsy. In early stages surgery is best way to treat and in later stages if surgery is difficult then chemotherapy and radiation therapy are given to extend survival. Please do not worry.
