Antibiotics

[00tec]

I asked for fish antibiotics at Petsmart and they didn't know what I meant. They just wanted to know what my fish had.

I don't think Petsmart and the big stores carry antibiotics anymore. You'll probably have to hit a dedicated aquarium store or order online.

Sanford guide for antibiotics. Yeah it's a bit in medical jargon but small and lots of info and if you sit and study it a bit it's easy to get.

I am not an expert in Antibiotics but have some specific points.

Cipro and Doxy - I think are still the initial treatment of choice for your Biological Warfare agents - Anthrax, Plague, Tularemia, Brucellosis, Q Fever, and a few others. I believe these are the Anti-Bacterials that are still in the National Pharmaceutical Stockpiles and Push Packs.

When I came home from Africa with Malaria I was given Cipro (against my wishes for the reason above) and immediately had no more S/S.

The military combat pill packs include Moxifloxacin as their Anti-B of choice. My daughter had a pretty bad ear infection and when the doc showed me the literature on the infection, the only Anti-Biotic that was shown to work was Moxi.

Again no expert, just experience with that listed above.

you sure it was malaria and sure it was cipro? ive never heard of using cipro for plasmodium parasites. ive seen tetracycline back in the day, doxycycline and clindamycin, but not cipro. strange.

what do you mean exactly that moxi if their drug of choice? for everything for for a specific infection?

Yeah quite certain - I had cyclic fevers and it took a week (3 ER trips and one PCP, two lumbar punctures) to get there but it was. It was Cipro because at the time I was on a DHS WMD response team and did not want any Cipro because that and Doxy were our anti-b's for bio agents.

That's also what they were giving the Peace Corps members in country with S/S of Malaria.

The Moxi is in the combat pill packs as part of Tactical Combat Casualty Care. So it is the choice for GSW, blast injury, or other penetrating trauma.

thats bizarre. I've seen moxi used for some skin infections and even abdominal infections in some cases, but rarely, its generally reserved for infections of the respiratory tract. its weird too because i can't find any evidence of using cipro for malaria though i can see how it would have potential. but whatever works.
