One of the antiboitics I will start is Tindamax
She says she will have me pulse it twice a week.
What does that mean? Is it like oral pills?

To over simplify "Pulse" It means not taking it every day. I take it (Pill form) 250 mg 2 x a day 4 days on, 3 days off. It is a great "Cystbuster" with a LOT fewer side effects than Flaygil (No spellchecker here so pardon the mispelling)
I hope that was helpful. Buzz

My daughter also pulses tindamax. She takes it 2x daily for 3 days then off for the next 4 days and so on.

Yes it is an oral pill...my daughter has had no side effects.
