Antibiotics?

Any pet store, its called Fish Mox. Its Amoxicillin, exactly the same as the doc would give you, buts its only 10$.

Really?? Have you tried it before?

Yes, cleared my whopping cough right up. The pills even look identical.

Whopping cough? Seriously? Were you not vaccinated as a child for this? The vaccine has been available since the 1940s

Anyone have a recommendation of where to buy antibiotics? I have an upper respiratory infection and I don't have insurance and am not trying to pay for a doctor visit and prescription.

KD, be very responsible with the use of antibiotics if you choose to take them without being under the care of a doctor. More specifically, be sure to run a FULL course of the antibiotic. Don't just stop taking it as soon as you feel better or your symptoms subside. There are several reasons this is extremely important, not the least of which being antibiotic resistance stemming from improper use. Hope you feel better, bro.

No idea why I wasnt vaccinated. When I was a child I also had Scarlet Fever. I guess its just my luck?

I would defiantly recommend running a probiotic during and after the anitbiotic.

If you get the adult Tdap vaccine, it covers Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis. I'd recommend you get it if you have insurance 👍

BTW, no point running a probiotic while you're running an antibiotic. Afterwards though would be a good idea.

^^ This guy has your answer. Amoxicillin, erythromycin, tetracycline, erythromycin, ampicillin, etc. are all available at many aquatic pet stores.

Also check out ethnic grocery stores if you live nearby one (particularly latino and chinese). It's pretty well known too:

Of course, there's always online pharmacies (particularly the Mexican and Latin american ones) that will provide antibiotics without prescriptions.

All this goes with the advice: take a full course of antibiotics (usually about a week long for most of them) and get the right antibiotic for your problem.
