Antibiotic Lawsuit Lawyers

SORRY, WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING THESE CASES


Broad spectrum antibiotics help fight bacterial infections, especially older infections or severe infections that the patient is suffering from.  They are prescribed to million so people every year to help heal issues such as the flu and other bacterial illnesses.  Medications such as amoxicillin, levofloxacin, streptomycin, and tetracycline are all types of broad spectrum antibiotics used and prescribed today. But be aware, some patients who take these antibiotics suffer serious adverse events and injury. These patient may consider speaking with an attorney about filing a Levaquin lawsuit seeking compensation for their injuries.

Amoxicillin –  A type of medication that is considered a penicillin antibiotic that is used to fight bacterial infections. People can have allergies to Amoxicillin, so be sure to talk to your doctor about this.  Amoxicillin must be taken for the full length of time.  Even if your symptoms disappear, the infection may still be present.  It is not effective in treating any viral infections.  Amoxicillin may have some side effects such as headaches, diarrhea, vomiting, and stomach pain. Amoxicillin is one of the most popular broad spectrum antibiotics prescribed to patients.

Levofloxacin – Used for bacterial infections, Levofloxacin helps kill the sensitive bacteria.  It is recommended that you drink extra fluids while taking this medication, and take it for the entire recommended length of time, even if you start feeling better before all the pills have been taken.  Side effects such as lightheadedness, dizziness, diarrhea, and nerve issues can occur, especially with extended use.  This drug is associated with tendon issues, especially in older patients and all patients who use it may have an increased risk of developing life-threatening side effects including aortic aneurysm and dissection.

Streptomycin – This medication is used to treat tuberculosis as well as infections caused by bacteria.  It kills the sensitive bacteria which stops the infection from spreading and encourages the healing process.  People that are allergic to any types of aminoglycoside antibiotics or gentamicin should not take this medication.  Side effects may include allergic reactions including rash and fever, diarrhea, dizziness and change in balance, vomiting, tiredness, or slow or shallow breathing. It is recommended that patients drink extra fluids while taking Streptomycin and listen to their doctors prescribed dosage and instructions.

Tetracycline – Tetracycline is used to fight bacterial infections such as urinary tract infections, acne, chlamydia as well as others.  This medication can make your skin more sensitive to UV rays, so use sunscreen while taking tetracycline.  Also, vitamins, iron supplements, antacids, and laxatives make tetracycline less effective.  Avoid taking these with tetracycline or talk to your doctor if you need a combination of these drugs.  This drug is to be avoided if you are pregnant, as it can cause harm to the unborn baby. Side effects can include an upset stomach, trouble swallowing, mild nausea, flu-like symptoms, and skin rashes. Take the prescribed dosage for the allotted amount of time and do not exceed it.

Broad spectrum antibiotics such as these treats both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, making them effective for treating stubborn and long-standing infections.
