To start with, antibiotics require a prescription, which you need to get from your doctor and should only be used when necessary. Overuse of antibiotics is what has caused all these super bugs that are antibiotic resistant and killing more people everyday.
If you have an allergy to penicillin, there is a good chance you may have allergies to more of the related antibiotics and as such, you should be monitored when you take a new one, in case of a life threatening reaction. Antibiotics are wonderful drugs and can save lives when used correctly, but they are not appropriate for all types of infections. They do not help with viral infections and can cause more harm than good when used when not needed. When an antibiotic is prescribed, it is also important to take all of the pills, even though you may feel better before they are gone. When you only take part of them, you may not have killed all of the germs, and those that are left become stronger and harder to kill the next time as they develop a resistance to the drug. Please see your doctor if you think you are in need of an antibiotic and make sure he is aware of your allergy before he prescribes a drug for you. Good luck to you and hope you feel better soon.

A person I support in a group home is allergic to a lot of antibiotics, including Penicillin, and she takes Levaquin. Of course I'm not a doctor, just check with your pharmacist and he/she should know.

I'm allergic to penicillin, so I usually take (by prescription, of course) either sulfa drugs or erythromycin derivitives, like Zithromax. I have also developed allergies over the years to Erythromycin, itself, Biaxin, and now, Zithromax.
So, lately, when I've needed an antibiotic, I've either had Tetracyclene, Clindomycin, OR ... I can't remember the name of it, but I had it most recently when I was sick....
Hope that helps some....

Depends on what the antibiotic is for. I'm allergic too.
Check with your health provider! (a prescription is necessary).

For people who are penicillin-sensitive, antibiotics such as tetracycline, doxycycline, minocycline, erythromycin and ceftriaxone could be prescribed, however these antibiotics may not be as effective.

You can take most anitbiotics that are not derived from penicillin. You might have a cross reaction if you take Keflex.

erythromycin, sulfonamides... excuse me, im a doctor and i was just wndering what you need antibiotics for ? im wondering because if youre doctor knew you need antibiotics and he/she knows your history of allergies he/she would prescribe to you the necessary antibiotics and you would not need to ask strangers in the internet...i hope you are not self-medicating...
