Re: Antibiotics and the diet??

[Guest guest]

Hi! I couldn't find the brand Trimox in my book from Hopkins, but I did a web

search and it looks like it is a type of amoxicillin. The only thing I could

find in my book is a type of amox. called Augemntin. in a 250 mg tab it

contains 15 mg of sodium starch glycolate. In 500 mg tab it contains 21 mg

sodium startch glycolate. That is, according to my book, a carbohydrate. They

both contain less that .1 kcal. Again, this is for Augemntin, so I don't know

about Trimox specifically, but it is a brand of amox. I'm not sure I was much

help! I'll try to do more research and let you know later today what I find out!

Hope the princess if feeling better. His royal highness, , has an eye

infection from sinusitis that he had for the past week, so I'm with you!

,

Our dietician gave us a list of meds. and their carb value. It lists

Trimox capsules, 250mg. and Trimox capsules, 500mg as having 0

carbs. The Trimox liquid does have carbs (3.3g/5ml dose).

Trimox is a " standard " prescription for ear infections. Unless she

is allergic to penicillin, she should be fine. Of course, our kiddos

seem to be more sensitive to drugs than the norm so I suppose we

never know... be watchful for anything different, but don't worry.

Hope this helps.
