Wondering what type of antibiotics would be best for persons to keep on-hand to stave off an infection during a cycle? Would Doxycycline or Cipro be good? Or should one go with penicillin? Are there other types?
I've read Dr. D talking aboutWondering what type of antibiotics would be best for persons to keep on-hand to stave off an infection during a cycle? Would Doxycycline or Cipro be good? Or should one go with penicillin? Are there other types?
Did you ever have to use it? Were the results good? And, what is the "triggering" sign to start taking the antibiotics??cephalexin.
talked to a few med guys about this, and checking your body temp is a good way to find out. if you get above 101 degrees, you most likely have an infection. anything below that and your body is naturally fighting it off.Did you ever have to use it? Were the results good? And, what is the "triggering" sign to start taking the antibiotics??
(sorry about all of the questions but, I'm the worry-wart type )
EDIT: And yes, I know the "lump" should be the triggering sign, lol, but when and how can you differentiate between a knot and an abcess that is forming.
I never had to use anything. Fever, as mentioned, is a bad sign.Did you ever have to use it? Were the results good? And, what is the "triggering" sign to start taking the antibiotics??

ouch! 6 x 5"...that's big...Well, what if the knot has grown to about 6x5 inches, and is slightly warm, and painful, say three days after an inject. Besides the red lines and puss forming, at what point would it be a good time to go to the doc.
It would be great to have a sticky with not only antibiotic info but the types of infections with pics, and good standard practices to prevent infection.Shiii bro... just shoot me a PM anytime. If you ever get into trouble, chances are I've been there too and can help. I guess I should probably just make an anti-biotic thread or sticky for people to reference. It's like nolva and gyno, don't do an injection without it! Just have some ready in case.

OK, that sounds good. You can round up some photos, because thinking twice is a good thing! Even if they still elect to inject, I bet those second thoughts improve their septic habits and make them keep some anti-B's on hand, just in case.You can do this now if you want and post it. we can add a disclaimer and then stick it.
I am sure I can find some nasty abscess photos if people really want to see some but it may make one think twice before inejcting,
Yes it is Valentino.I believe that far left image is Greg Valentino's blown out bicep (too much synthol I suppose.)
wouldn't you have to be a complete moron to let your abcess get as bad as those images above?
Not a couple of weeks, probably a couple of days(5-7). If the infection is allowed to linger, then more serious health issues are likely.Ahh...they'd must've waited for a couple of weeks, huh? Those are pretty bad.
Did somebody say experiment? :cheers:...
If it gets really bad, you could to use maggots to remove the necrotic tissue. :cheers:
Size or Dr. D what would be the dosing schedule with this?cephalexin.
I understand. And you would only need it for a day? If not how many?I am not a physician so this is just general information.
I believe cephalexin comes in 250mg and 500mg capsules. If infection was my concern, I would take a minimum 1000-1500mg spread over the course of a day.
No. You would need to continue to take it until the infection cleared. The intial dosages should be higher than what I mentioned above but as time went on I would reduce to those levels.I understand. And you would only need it for a day? If not how many?
Size is correct about the ceph. If you take every 4hr as you should, then 250mg is usually good and yields 1.5g/d, but if you do it sloppy only every 6hr, then take 500mg to give a total of 2g/d. Plus, always take a double with your initial dose. An anti-B course is generally 1 or 2 weeks or even months sometimes. 10days is usually effective in my experience for most apps. Don't stop prematurely. Keep going for a few days even after you think your better.I am not a physician so this is just general information.

bump the amoxHow much amoxicilina would you take if you had an abcess? I believe Doc said it was 250 - 500mg 4xs a day is that correct?
Usually not, but it can occur with suspensions or if you don't swab the vial septum and dust gets in the vial with the needle penetration. Not swabbing the skin for at least 15sec is up there on the list. Also, foreign proteins can cause fever and look like an infection. This is from cotton usually, or unsterile homebrews or dirty/cheap commercial gear.Size and Dr. D - what is the most likely cause of abcesses? Is it bacteria in the solution?

Yes, yogurt or acidophylus powder work to combat this problem very wellIf anti-biotics are used during a cycle, would using pro-biotics help restore friendly bacteria since anti-biotics kill good and bad bacteria ?
Yes, exactly, but take a double dose for the very first oneHow much amoxicilina would you take if you had an abcess? I believe Doc said it was 250 - 500mg 4xs a day is that correct?

Pen V is good stuff too. It's just the a-phenoxymethyl version of pen whereas the G is the benzyl version. They are the two major ones out of many different pens. So it's all good bro! I'd keep that g-friend if her dad is liberal with the scripts :thumbsup:bump the amox
I've got a shitload sitting at my house.
My g/f als has a HUGE thing of penicillin VX...what the hell is VX? (Her dad is a dentist so he writes scripts for all kinds of crap to keep around the house.)
LOL. I've been with her for three years and he hardly talks to me--and she says that he likes me, too. LOL.Pen V is good stuff too.

Yeah that's all I do, just hold the swap on there firm for 15sec, then wipe as I remove it. After you withdraw the shot, wipe the surface again so no drug residue is left on it and then restore it. I don't bother to cover it then, just keep it in a ziplock inbetween uses.WOW I did not know you were suppose to swab for 15 seconds. Damn the little alcohol pads would be lint by then. But I do use antibacterial soap and was the entire area for about 20 seconds followed by rubbing the area with 1 alcohol pad then opening another one and rub the area again.
Dr. I have always wondered if you should cover the rubber stopper between shots. It just seems that all sorts of bacteria would land on it. I wipe it 2 or 3 times with an alcohol wipe, is that enough?
You are developing a very well rounded scrapbook brother! Keep listening to me and it will turn into a useless 'crapbook' of endless factsMore good information thrown into this scrapbook I call a brain
When you finally graduate, I'm gonna need a new doc, you know that right? I'll be your first pateint! But I warn you, I have "issues"... but you already knew thatLOL. I've been with her for three years and he hardly talks to me--and she says that he likes me, too. LOL.
I'll just have to wait till I'm done med school if I want script stuff And, right now I'm still in UG Schol, so I've got a ways to go hehehehe
Maybe I'll steal some of her peni
Work at a reactor, I majored in Nuclear too, and will not practice nuc med from a hosp or my home (the GM/GC keeps clicking like mad everytime I walk in the door... J/J) But the good money is north-east with power or experimental reactors. By then my test levels should be nil, and I'll call my good 'ol buddy Kwyckemynd00! :cheers:I'm thinking of radiology. I hear that many of them are working from their houses these days But, I'm sure I can still write you your script for Test
Well.... OK. That sound reasonable, I guess800mg/wk sound like good HRT dose?
