Please help - Is it acidifying???

[wantason]

I have got throat infection and the doctor has prescribed antibiotic Primcillin 800 mg 3 times a day for 10 days. I just read on internet that it can develop acidosis in the body if overdosed. My attempt is next week. I am confused. It has a chemical Phenoxymethylpenicillinkalium(danish name .. kalium is potassium in danish). Due to potassium in its name it seems to be good for ttc boy but its a very big dose and has to go for 10 days. I dont want to spoil my sway if its acidifying. Please help !!!!

Interesting..... the acidosis part may depend on your diet. Most of the reactions listed for meds is from a large number of people, Dr's do not ask the person about their over all diet!!!

Eating a high or higher alkaline diet will help but most antibiotics sway boy so you may not have a problem.

but its a very heavy dose 800 mg 3 times for 10 days. My friend was also prescribed this and she said she was feeling totally burnt from inside after having such a heavy dose. can Atomic chime in please...

"amoxycillin" may be better, the other ingender has a bunch of post on it about swaying for a boy.

ya I also think so .. I have asked doc to change the medicine . waiting for her reply.

I'm sorry I just saw this. All antibiotics sway blue because they are alkalinizing and increase CM.

[atomic sagebrush]

Those amounts of magnesium and potassium are small and to preserve the medication. They don't affect your sway, don't worry about them.

thanx atomic .. i had already started taking it .. and it has increased the amount of cm .... ll check the ph also....
