Osteoporosis is common in people with cystic fibrosis (a build-up of mucus in the lungs). This is due to poor absorption of fat, which leads to vitamin D deficiency. Calcitriol taken by mouth appears to increase calcium absorption.
Antibiotics such as penicillin and amoxicillin (Amoxil) are used for a variety of infections that may result after dental procedures. Erythromycin (Benzamycin, Emgel, Ery, Ilotycin, Staticin) is usually prescribed when patients have allergies to penicillin or amoxicillin (Amoxil).
An antibiotic is given for the treatment of an infection caused by bacteria. Antibiotics target microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and parasites. However, they are not effective against viruses. If you have an infection it is important to know whether it is caused by bacteria or a virus.Most upper respiratory tract infections, such as the common cold and sore throats are generally caused by viruses-antibiotics do not work against these viruses.lthough there are a number of different types of antibiotic they all work in one of two ways: 1  A bactericidal antibiotic kills the bacteria. 2  Penicillin is a bactericidal. 3  A bactericidal usually either interferes with the formation of the bacterium's cell wall or its cell contents.
