There is no way to compare the strength or efficacy of different meds by the prescribed dosage alone

I'm on one three times each week.
I have on a few occasions that we should nt take antibiotics when we have COPD. When I wAs in hospital with a chest infection and exasperation I was given excessive amounts of antibiotics to stop the infection. I would like to know why people are saying we shouldn't take them
Your doctor is quite correct about too much of the Levaquin. Your body will built up an immunity to it after while. Doxycycline is a good sub for it.

I called them and was told to drink more water and put myself on Mucinex, not a great deal of change, called again, no call back, I've been coughing since, no new appointments until January, what now?

Diagnosed with severe COPD. NOT ON OXYGEN
Every morning I wake up my nose is blocked similar to hay fever. Then the mucus runs down my throat and I have to cough it up. Usually clear but sometimes thick and green

I also get heavy nose bleeds and I have had my nose… read more

Usually it's because you have an infection that isn't responding to the usual meds. Sometimes they do them to see if you're developing something in your lungs. If you've been sick, they're probably… read more
Any suggestions for thin skin issues. My skin will tear from just about anything, even a wrong rub on a pillow. I know that the prednisone has a lot to do with that. I can't remember the last time that something on my body was not bandaged up with antibiotic ontiment. I have a couple that are so bad that I am taking oral antibiotics as well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Now, I’m back to suspecting prednisone. I have the spots and splotches and they’re not because I hit them on anything. I use Arnicare to speed up their fading.
Thank you for the information.It is useful.
Great answers everone
