dashn - that's a very important observation. Make sure you note the name of that particular antibiotic and STOP TAKING IT. There are others. Carry the note in your wallet. One day it's just comments on a website. Another day it's jumping in front of a train.

Thanks. I saved the prescription sticker, along with the other antibiotic the doctor wanted me to take (which I didn't take), have two appointments next week, one to get a second opinion, other with the doctor in which I'm gonna be very vocal in terms of what he tries to prescribe me in the future.

The list of the seemingly common medications I can't take is growing longer each year.

Yes, I'm glad to hear you are being proactive on this.

I wonder, too, if the prescribing pharmacist should have a note in the pharmacy files of meds you are allergic to -- that is if you often go to the same pharmacy.

Hmmm. I'll look into that.
