Clarithromycin
I just joined a University of Rochester; Strong Memorial Hospital Studay on the use of this drug to treat nasal polyps (spelling?). My comment is that I welcome anyone who is interested in messaging on their experiences taking this drug for this reason. I have been diagnosed with Chronic Sinus Itus and Nasal Polyps and will be visiting her now and then to report my progress. 1 dose daily for 4 months. We will see...

Clindamycin severe side effects
I took Clindamycin for an oral abcess, I've been off it for 2 weeks but tomorrow I plan to see my doct because I've had severe abdominal cramps and diarreah for 5 days.
Really don't understand why I wasn't warned about this severe side effect on this drug!! This was too strong an antibiotic for an oral abcess!
I think Pseudomembranuos Colitis or Clostridium Difficile is the bacteria it causes. Colitis is managable but not curable.

Production of Trazadone
See answer above. That is how I arrived at this board. But I don't get it. This might not be the manufacturer? Perhaps we need to research Pharmaceutical World or trazodone + .com.
Trazodone is the generic name for desyrel.
I think the drug is so old that whoever manufactured desyrel doesn't anymore as I did enter desyrel + .com and came up with nothing using MSN search. Hmm......
But do check out this cool link which I found here (!) too regarding all generic drugs:

Mupirocin (Bactroban) & sinus infection
Anyone know if Mupirocin 2% in a Polyethylene glycol(PEG) suspension is unwise to liquify with buffered saline & aerosolize for use with a possible sinus infection?
It seems to help, as PEG is used as a nasal moisturizer (Rhinaris) & MRSA responds well to mupirocin. They don't sell it that way, though.
The problem is Vaso-Motor Rhinitis (VMR) with sinus infection (i think) , my allergist is charging me out the nose, so to speak.
Out of Plan, cramming everything but the kitchen sink up my nose for relief.
