aba Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I've been reading that you really need to support detox during antibiotic treatment in order to hopefully avoid a herx reaction, but also just to help flush the system and allow the abx to work. Drinking lots of water, clay baths, epsom salt baths, etc. What else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayzoo Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Make sure the bowels are moving well. If they are not, magnesium can help. We also use charcoal, cilantro tincture, and ionic magnesium for detox. Some use lemon water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aba Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Thanks! I read something in passing that minerals can affect absorption of antibiotics, and should be avoided? Anyone else come across this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayzoo Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Some abx should not be taken within two hours of magnesium. Similarly, nothing should be taken within two hours of charcoal. The abx my kiddo is on (biaxin and augmentin) are fine with magnesium. Doxy, minocycline and several others are bound to magnesium and thus not absorbed properly. Check on drugs.com or post what abx your kiddo is on and someone will let you know if they are okay with magnesium or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aba Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Okay thanks, she will be on clindamycin and rifampin. Very high mycoplasma numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayzoo Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 A surface glance shows no interaction between clindamycin, rifampin and magnesium. Here is the web page in case you wish to see what does interact with those: http://www.drugs.com/interactions-check.php?drug_list=690-0,1516-0,2012-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aba Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Thanks. I did run them both on drugs.com just to see exactly what they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
