I posted a newspaper article on this subject some time ago, but since search function not working, can't locate it again.
However, it certainly sounds promising, especially if it bypasses all the IV, intramuscular, and gastric complications of pills and shots and IV. Don't think it is available yet.
I am wondering if there is something about molecule size that will affect which antibiotics can be done this way.
The article I read said ultrasound would be used to make the skin more permeable, or some such thing.
Interesting, no?

i am on transdermal minocycyline and have done transdermal doxy in the past. as far as i know these are the only two abx availible this way. i get them in a cream. i really would not be able to tolerate anymore oral abx and after doing iv for 9 months that hardly seems worth it.

Hey, that is very interesting. I didn't realize any antibiotics were available yet this way. The article I read made it sound like this was off in the future. Maybe it meant the full spectrum. Wonder if the molecule size makes a difference.

PLEASE tell us more! What is the name of this cream? Is it specially formulated for you or is it avail from any pharmacy? It is not just for topical infections?
I have horrible stomach problems with mino/doxy and if I could tell my doc about this, he'd order it in a heartbeat!
THANK YOU very much.

Is it specially formulated for you or is it avail from any pharmacy? specially formulated by a local compound pharmisist. i believe these guys are all over. really its just the abx powder combined with some liquid or something to make a compound. one time i took the powder from the pills and put it on with a spray bottle when i ran out of cream. it seemed to work just as well.
It is not just for topical infections? nope its another way of taking abx for lyme and mycoplasmas
I have horrible stomach problems with mino/doxy and if I could tell my doc about this, he'd order it in a heartbeat!
me too! or i used to. i am still left with a leaky gut though. i developed allergies to almost all the standard thigns people eat. also i quickly develop allergies to some things if i eat too much of them.
hope this helps best of luck

So this antibiotic transdermal cream... where are people getting it? the mentioned website "http://www.personalconsult.com/" doesn't have it listed.
Does someone have more details? product name, compounding pharmacy?
thanks!
