Re: Meds

Hi - thank you so much for your input. Although my doctors were all

adamant that the meds be taken at the same time every day, during

each hospital stay, the nurses were *always* late in getting it to

me. Just doesn't make sense, does it?

According to our Member list, it would appear that Bev has

Hi, Breta,

My obgyn prescribed septra (bactrim) for me but also said the

alternative is to snarf down cranberry juice for urinary type

infections. Cranberry juice does seem to work. I haven't taken the

septra because I am not sure if it is okay for rhythm problem people

like us.

Someone, probably , posted a link in a message I found when

searching here for antibiotic info, but the link has staled out, so I

don't know what it said.

Levanquin? I am wondering if the quin stands for quinine, which does

affect hearts.
