Antibiotics with flux is the simplest, but at the same time, effective option to stop the purulent-inflammatory process that has begun. Let's consider the peculiarities of the use of antibiotics with flux, the most popular preparations, the methods of their reception and the storage conditions.
Antibiotics with flux is one of the available and reliable ways to prevent the spread of purulent infection. The appearance of flux is always accompanied by inflammation and complications, so treatment of the disease must be approached in a comprehensive manner. Antibiotics will help in the treatment, since they have an effect on the whole organism, thanks to a wide range of actions.
But how to choose the right antibiotic, and which is best to take. The most popular are Amoxiclav and Doxycycline. These drugs have a complex effect on the focus of infection and prevent its spread throughout the body. But do not forget that taking antibiotics with a flux is not a panacea. Therefore, after the inflammation comes down, you need to go to the dentist and cure the tooth and gum.
[Antibiotic treatment of flux
Treatment of flux with antibiotics is used in dental practice, as it is an excellent way to suppress the inflammatory process and prevent the spread of infection through the body. They are used in flux therapy and the treatment of other dental diseases, especially often using antibiotics after tooth extraction. Taking medications at an early stage of infection prevents the appearance of an abscess, that is, cures the flux as early as the beginning of maturation. In the late stages of flux development, when the abscess is fully formed, antibiotics are prescribed only after it is opened. In this case, antibiotics contribute to an early recovery and are used as prevention.
It is not recommended to take antibiotics alone with the flux, as only the doctor can prescribe the necessary drugs. The effectiveness of antibiotics depends on the complexity of the disease, the presence of drug intolerance, the age of the patient and other factors. Let's consider antibiotics, which are most often used in dentistry in the treatment of flux:
- Doxycycline.
- Lincomycin.
- Amoxicillin.
- Tsiprolet.
- Amoxylove.
- Ciprofloxacin.
- Flemoxin solute.
- Biseptol.
- Levomycetin.
- Trichopol.
They take antibiotics for 5-7 days, but not longer. Since long-term use of medications can cause addiction and cause drug resistance of microorganisms that caused flux.
Indications for the use of antibiotics with flux
The main indications for the use of antibiotics with flux:
- Inflammatory diseases of an infectious nature that are caused by streptococcal or staphylococcal infections.
- Infections of soft tissues and infectious diseases of different localization.
- Preventing purulent complications in the postoperative period.
Indications for the use of antibiotics with flux are associated with the symptomatology of the disease and the stage of development. So, in the early stages, wide-spectrum antibiotics are used that prevent the spread of infection. And at the late stages and in the postoperative period, indications for the use of drugs are associated with the prevention of flux. As in the first, and in the second case, antibiotics with a flux is prescribed by a dentist.
Form of issue
The form of release of antibiotics, which are used to treat flux, depends on the complexity of the disease and its location. Let's look at the most popular forms of antibiotic release that are used with the flux.
- Ointments - are applied to the affected gum at an early stage of flux development. Ointment helps to relieve inflammation and reduces pain. As a rule, the ointment is applied 2-3 times a day.
- Tablets, capsules and powders for the preparation of solutions - take in or use for rinsing. The dosage is determined by the dentist. But unlike ointments have a number of contraindications, which are associated with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and the cardiovascular system.
- Injection is the most convenient form of release of antibiotics in the treatment of flux. Injections are administered intravenously or intramuscularly, quickly have a curative effect and promote recovery.
Pharmacodynamics
Pharmacodynamics of antibiotics with flux is the process of action of active components of the drug on pathogens. So, antibiotics, which are used in purulent-inflammatory processes, have a bacteriostatic effect. Most drugs show activity against gram-positive cocci and staphylococci. This allows the antibiotic to destroy pathogenic microorganisms in a short time.
The intake of antibiotics in the early stages of the disease slows the effect of pathogens. In some patients, the administration of antibiotics with flux causes side effects in the form of allergic reactions, dysbiosis, fever and other manifestations. That is why, before taking any antibiotic, it is necessary to study its composition for determining the individual intolerance of the active components.
Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetics of antibiotics with flux are the processes of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs. Most antibiotics that are used to treat purulent-inflammatory diseases are absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. That is why antibiotics should be taken before meals. After taking, the drugs quickly spread to the tissues of the body, including bone tissue.
Note that many antibiotics penetrate the placental barrier, so they are forbidden to take during pregnancy. The drugs are metabolized in the liver, and their half-life is about five hours. An antibiotic with bile, urine or feces is displayed in an unchanged form, as a metabolite.
How to treat the flux with antibiotics?
How to treat the flux with antibiotics is an urgent issue for those who have first encountered this disease. Reception of antibiotics should be started at the first signs of the appearance of the flux, that is, before the formation of the abscess. Please note that antibiotics should be selected by the dentist, as this is a guarantee that the treatment will be correct. So, taking certain drugs will be ineffective and can cause complications.
As the dental practice shows, the appearance of a flux provokes streptococcal and staphylococcal infection. That is why antibiotics that fight with these microorganisms are used to treat this disease. Ampiox, Doxycycline, Cyphran and other antibiotics are used for effective treatment. The dosage of the drug is selected individually, depending on the complexity of the purulent inflammation of the flux and the presence of concomitant diseases. That is why, only a dentist should prescribe antibiotic treatment.
Which antibiotic is better with flux?
What antibiotic is better for using a flux? Uniquely answer this question can only the dentist and only after examining the inflamed gums. Usually, the flux is a painful symptom of the processes that occur in the body, that is why before the reception of antibiotics the patient is fully diagnosed with the oral cavity, to detect the affected tooth or teeth. In addition to taking antibiotics, in particularly severe cases, the dentist establishes drainage, which allows you to remove pus.
Regardless of the degree of inflammation, the treatment of flux begins with the administration of antibiotics. To select the appropriate drug, the dentist conducts a test to identify the causative agent of the disease. Conducting a test is a guarantee of effective treatment. Let's consider what antibiotic with a flux is better to take, based on the fact that the disease causes streptococcal or staphylococcal infection. Most often, dentists appoint: Tsifran, Ampiox, Doxycycline, Lincomycin and others.
In addition to taking antibiotics, the methods of physiotherapy (UHF and UHF) are used to treat the flux. Due to the influence of the electric field on the inflamed area, the healing process is faster and more efficient. Please note that with the flux it is forbidden to make hot compresses, as this will provoke the spreading of purulent masses due to the influx of blood. It is not recommended to apply bandages, as the inflammation will not pass until antibiotics can cope with the pathogen. It is also forbidden to take aspirin, especially during postoperative flux therapy. Because this analgesic can cause bleeding.
Names of antibiotics with flux
The names of antibiotics with flux can be guided by the choice of drugs for the treatment of this dental disease. We suggest considering the most popular and effective antibiotics with flux.
- Amoxilav - an antibiotic with a wide spectrum of action, shows high efficiency in the treatment of flux and other inflammatory diseases caused by staphylococcal and streptococcal infection. Dosage is prescribed by the dentist, focusing on the symptoms and individual characteristics of the patient's body.
- Ampiox is a more effective antibiotic, in comparison with the above. The advantage of this antibiotic is that it has a minimum of side effects, since it is not metabolized in the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, this drug has no contraindications, except for individual intolerance to the active components of the antibiotic.
- Tsifran - struggling with microorganisms that caused inflammation. The peculiarity of this drug is that the course and dosage depend on the symptoms of the disease. The drug is contraindicated in children under 16 years. In the treatment of flux, only Tsifran injections are administered, which are administered intravenously.
- Lincomycin is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial drug. Despite the high effectiveness of treatment, the antibiotic has a lot of adverse reactions, therefore, its reception is possible only with the prescription of a dentist.
- Doxycycline - refers to semisynthetic antibiotics of a wide spectrum of action. Dosage depends on the complexity of the disease and the individual characteristics of the patient's body.
In addition to the above antibiotics, which are used at an early stage of flux development, the dentist prescribes drugs that are used in the postoperative period, that is, after opening the flux and purging the purulent masses. But do not forget that taking antibiotics with a flux is not a cure, but a necessity that allows you to quickly and effectively cope with the disease.
Dosing and Administration

Since, it is in the instruction described side effects and contraindications. In addition, the dentist, before prescribing an antibiotic, diagnoses the patient for contraindications - hypersensitivity, individual intolerance, diseases of the cardiovascular and circulatory system, and other chronic diseases.
Side effects of antibiotics with flux
Side effects of antibiotics with flux depend on the type of antibiotic used and the individual characteristics of the organism. Let's look at common side effects when taking antibiotics to treat flux.

Interactions with other drugs
Interaction of antibiotics with flux with other drugs is possible only with the permission of the dentist. So, the simultaneous use of antibiotics that fight streptococcal and staphylococcal infection with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can lead to respiratory failure and even stopping breathing.
Antibiotics used to treat flux, do not interact well with muscle relaxants and inhalation anesthetics. And interaction with drugs that have absorbent properties, reduces the effectiveness of antibiotics. That is why, a dentist should prescribe antibiotics. Since the doctor, when prescribing drugs, controls their interaction with other drugs.
