Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Clindamycin substitution? I'm a vegetarian and there is gelatin in this gel. I do not want to take it. What else can I ask my dentist to prescribe me? I am having a tissue grafting later this month and need to fill the prescription before Christmas. Thanks.
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns.
As per your complain in case if you do not want to take antibiotics with gelatin in it you can consult your dentist back and he can advise you antibiotics that comes in tablet form and they are mostly present in combinations.
He can advise you antibiotics like Augmentin tablet or other combinations like ofloxacin+ornidazole combinations or other antibiotics that are available in tablet form or even injectable or syrups..
Although I would respect your sentiments of taking a vegan antibiotic substitute but I would advise you to be more careful of your health and prevention of infection rather than taking gelatin containing pill but in case if you still are not convinced you can take tablet form of the antibiotic for preventing gelatin..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
