Guest guest Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 I have to take an antibiotic for a painful root canal tooth infection, before I can have it extracted, does anyone know which company makes an animal-product-free form of Amoxycillin or similar antibiotic (my dentist will probably change the prescription if I can source something suitable and vegan).

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Amoxicillin A semisynthetic penicillin. Brand name(s): Amoxil; Biomox; Polymox; Trimox; Wymox Amoxicillin comes as a capsule, chewable tablet, liquid, and pediatric drop to take by mouth. It is usually taken every 8 hours (three times a day). i suggest getting the liquid form... the others have magnesium stearate or gelatin in them... http://www.amoxicillin.com/ Lesley Dove <Lesley [Lesley] I have to take an antibiotic for a painful root canal tooth infection, before I can have it extracted, does anyone know which company makes an animal-product-free form of Amoxycillin or similar antibiotic (my dentist will probably change the prescription if I can source something suitable and vegan).

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 If I cannot get definite information from a pharmaceutical company in the next day or two (I've emailed a couple already), I shall most likely take the chance on the liquid form as it is more likely to be animal-free than any other, that was what I was intending to do and the dentist is helpful and has written me a choice of two prescriptions to allow for this, thanks for your help.
