Quick reply ... last time I needed antibiotics I got the liquid Amoxicillin,
which did not contain lactose. I don't know about the various -mycin drugs
and their manufacturers, and you really need to check every prescription
every time anyway ... but there's at least one antibiotic option that's
dairy-free. (Of course, some people are allergic to Amoxicillin, too--don't
know what would happen then!)

3. Do the -mycin line (erethromycin, etc.) contain dairy? Those are the ones
that seem to give me yeast infections (systemic-in the intestines) which is
the way I react to any milk protein. Also, some antibiotics affect me the
same way. My Dr usually gives me a Diflucan Rx any time he gives me an
antibiotic just to be safe.
