Can Novoclox Be Taken For Tooth Infection?
hi...I have a tooth infection and doctor has prescribed Novoclox LB 500 mg for 3 days (1-1). When I take this for 3 days continuously, it would reduce. But, after 15 to 20 days, I again see the same issue and if I take the same medicine for 3 days, its going off. This has happened 3 times. How safe is taking Novoclox dosage every 20 days?

Hi
Novolox Lb is an antibiotic combination for such an infection you have mentioned ,rightly prescribed to you. The treatment modality of tooth infection is root canal treatment of the tooth and removal of infected pulp tissue along with the antibiotics . Recurrent usage and stoppage of antibiotics is not recomended. The infection nidus i.e the infected tooth pulp tissue needs to be treated accordingly as well .I advice you to pay a visit to your dentist and get your tooth treated accordingly .take care
