Well, the "mycin" products are a whole line of antibiotics.  And it all 
depends on the manufacturer whether or not lactose is used as an 
ingredient.  I have in the past had the pharmacy check several mfgs 
package inserts to see if they could find one that didn't use lactose 
for a specific antibiotic - sometimes successfully, sometimes not.  
Fortunately for me, I have usually been able to manage the antibiotics 
w/ lactose by having a lactase pill with each dose.  So far . . . 

Also, I have taken to having lactobacillus acidophilus (spelling?) along 
with antibiotics - they tend to be non-discriminatory about what they 
kill off in your system, and I find the acidophilus helps my stomach.
