Dental surgery symptoms and conditions

I have taken cipro before with no obvious problems and am now starting on it again for 2 weeks (1pill a day). This drug is one of a few that people who are allergic to penicillin and sulfa drugs can take to kill bacteria that penicillin normally does. This is considered a 'last resort' drug for us also. I've had a sinus infection as a complication from a dental surgery that refuses to go away for long enough for my mouth to heal - since July 10 (it is now 19Dec). I was prescribed Avelox for the first time yesterday which led me to this website while trying to find pricing info. $168 for 12 pills? at a Walmart? absurd. So I had the doc switched to cipro. They want me to try this 'type' of drug since the others haven't been able to completely eliminate the infection. I will keep in mind everyone here's side effects but I definitely have plans to do a heavy duty DETOX the minute my mouth is healed and I am off the drugs whether I have problems or not. I concur with the constipation though, all antibiotics seem to give me that problem while taking them. Another good reason to do a detox.

Took Avelox for pharyngisis 3 wks ago but then went to take l for some
dental surgery night 11 March 08 and within one hour hands and feet burned and itched, then left side heat started swelling, lips swelled, and then breathing cut off and kept blacking out and coult not talk. Called 911 and spent most night there on oxygen and IV's/shots. Do not know if it contracdicted Lasix which I'm on or what as the lst time I took it only rapid heartbeat.

Had dental surgery (an implant), Dentist gave me an Rx for Lortab and received a generic at the pharmacy. Dentist's instructions was to take the Lortab as his painkiller was fading to prevent any difficult pain. Took the tablet, started feeling sleepy (early afternoon) and git into bed and immediately fell asleep. When my wife checked on me, instead of expecting me lying quietly on my back. She found me in constant motion, twisting, turning one side to the other--rather hectic. When I awoke, I found sharp pains in the back of my head, across my back, and down my right side to my knee. After medical questioning and an MRI of my spine, the opinion was that I had pinched one or more nerves. This happened 2/2/08 and still with me 3/14/08. I have PT 2X a week with some relief each time, Still in pain!

Took it as a precaution for a dental surgery. I wound up having severe reflux (which resulted in throwing up one night) and the most severe heartburn I can imagine. I took it before I went to bed, which I found out is a no no, and was unable to sleep due to the burning in my throat and chest. I haven't taken the pill in over 12 hours and my chest is still burning pretty bad. I usually tolerate medicine very well. I will be asking my doc to take me off of this....

I have been taking Fosamax for about 3 years,once a week. I had extreme hair loss last year. I was very concerned. It seems to have diminished now. I have knee pain. Some days are worse than others. I just recently started having shoulder pain. I exercise at least 3 times a week and have been for years so I know these pains are not from that. I needed to have some dental work done and found out some extremely disturbing news that doctors are just now finding out about. If a person is having any sort of dental work that has to do with the jaw bone, this includes tooth extraction, you are at risk for bone loss in the form of necrosis. This means the bone tissue dies and there is no cure for it. It makes no difference how healthy a person is or how long you have taken Fosamax. A person only need take 1 pill and they are at risk. There is no way to determine who will suffer from this terrible side affect. Stopping Fosamax before dental surgery makes no difference. Some people have lost their whole jaw. This is devastating news that needs national attention. My oral surgeon told me that doctors have tried everything to stop the necrosis and nothing has worked. Be forewarned.

Following dental surgery, it was prescribed at 500MG, 4 times a day. I didn't always remember it 4 times, but have been having a headache even when I only take it 2-3 times per day.
