Dear Floris Both ciprofloxacin and Leflox are closely related but not related to penicillin. Therefore, you can take either Leflox or ciprofloxacin for some infections without any allergy problems.

2009-11-18 Plan B pill:

Dear Nate It is recommended that the pills should be taken as instructions ie 1 then 1 12 hours later. If both taken together vomiting is possible and some of the drug lost in the vomit. Even after

2009-11-17 Nardil:

Dear Cherie This question is almost impossible to answer as it is not really known. There have been no reported interactions but with other antidepressants there has been some deaths, albeit rarely

2009-11-16 Nardil:

Dear Cherie The reaction with phenelzine and Benadryl is not as serious as some interactions, however as Benadryl is cleared from the body relatively quickly their should be none left in your system
