By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or

It's best not to be ill on weekends. :-)
Bear in mind about side effects - most people do not get them, or the drug would not be on the market. And they are very individual, and in most cases poorly predictable other than a few of the high powered cancer drugs they will actually run gene tests prior to dosing. I think the majority of legal ads with the Call 1-800-BAD-DRUG theme are irresponsible. Levaquin is usually a pretty good choice. Me, I get yeast when I take Keflex, but do fine with Bactrim or Clindamycin. Clinda is notorious for higher risk of colitis, but again, most of the time, no problem,and allergies to it are rare. Hubby just got Amox-Clav for sino-bronchial even though I told the doc he'd always done best on Bactrim...and he got terrific vertigo. But, he did stop coughing and we rode it out. And you hear people terrified that Bactrim has high allergic and side effect potential...one of my patients just got dizzy and tinnitus on it, so I switched to Keflex because we had a culture showing it would be just as sensitive.
The bottom line on side effects is YMMV. If probiotics do not take care of the diarrhea, a switch should be considered, because you don't want to end up with a case of pseudomembranous colitis. But, that said, bear in mind you are weighing risks of antibiotic side effects against the risks of not treating pneumonia, which are probably a lot higher. Honestly, rather than wait for the regular doc to be back Monday and maybe not catch up and get back with you all day, consider going to an urgent care center instead. You are not as likely to end up waiting all day amidst major trauma and more severely ill people who will have to be seen first.
Regarding the side effects, I'd call the pharmacy to find out if you can cut or crush these pills. Also what to do in case of side effects like the ones mom has. Does her doc has have a service that can get in touch with him?
I always eat yogurt if im taking antobiotics, seems to help with the runs.
