Since I started that, I have had no adverse reaction (stomach problems, strange swelling of the tongue) to any antibiotic. There seems to be no problem with mixing the antibiotic with a dairy product (yogurt), also. (Should this be in net.med?) Heather {allegra, decvax!brunix, ccieng5, linus} rayssd!hxe
