Is anyone else on this cornucopia?

I've been on the mepron/zith/omnicef for a couple of months now with no problems. Am not sure if it's safe to add tinnidazole or not.

I think only your doctor can answer this question.

Some factors to consider are:

1) How is your liver doing? Are you getting frequent liver count tests?

2) Do you have any serious side effects from the meds you are taking now?

3)Do you have flare ups/herxes in response to the treatment, and how bad are they?

4)How effective has the treatment been so far?

I've taken that combo while treating babs, too.

Only pulsed the tini for 5 days every month, but continued all the other meds at the same time.

I think you can check for interactions at www.drugdigest.com

Hope you feel better soon.

My son has been on each of the meds you mentioned.

Not all at same time.

Mepron plus zithromax seems to just about cleared
his babesia symtoms.

There are three of us here with lyme and we all
herxed hard on the tinizadole alone. We took the
tinni somewhat regularly, but not at the dosage recommended as it was too much. I avoided giving
any other of the meds you listed when I gave the tinazadole.

How are you?

My son also took this combo. He had more pain (herxing) when he took the Tinidazole (1 tab 2xs day) three times a week.

As far as I know there were no other problems taking these meds.
