Re: Fish antibiotics
Cephalexin is a very common antibiotic. It is also used in dogs. 250mg is the standard human dose as well. For a 190lb man, the average dose is 2 250mg capsules TID. (Thrice a day, or every 8 Hours)
My only concern is that the fish antibiotics do not have to meet the same safety standards as those for humans. Not many people mind flushing Nemo down the toilet, since we're probably none the wiser if it was the medication or the illness that killed him.
If youre that desperate, this is somewhat good news. If you get sicker, its not on my hands. Antibiotics only treat bacterial infections. If your illness is viral (cold/flu), youre fucked.

Re: Fish antibiotics
Antibiotics do nothing to combat viral ailments, like what you have.
When you have a nasty old pocket of infection (bacteria) then you reach for the antibiotics. If you are getting the ---- off of a pet supplier's shelf, so help you god you need to have an idea what sort of ---- you have eating at you because sometimes the wrong antibiotic acts as an accelerant.

Re: Fish antibiotics
I know this is late but...
Most fish antibotics also contain a medicine to combat Ich (most common fish sickness) which is similar to the digestive bacteria in your intestines.
Bad Idea. Best case you get the ***** for a few days.

Re: Fish antibiotics
The only active ingrediant listed was the cephalexin.
We'll i've had the liquor ***** for the past week anyways. I drank like a fish from wed-sun while on a sking trip. I've been getting kinda fat, i was gonna try something to do some "cleansing" to get me rolling on the new diet.
I really don't see any downside/side effects so far(knocking on wood). I'm gonna keep taking them, so i guess i'll find out.

Re: Fish antibiotics
If you are without insurance and want to stock up a little bit alldaychemist is a pretty cool place.

Best to place an order for a few things at once since whipping will probably be around $25 since it will be coming from India. But you can pick up retty much any med that is not a controlled substance for cheap. I have insurance, damn good insurance at that and still have gotten a few things from them. Has always been legit. Just plan on the order taking 7-12 days to get to you.
