ketex/ duomax

[Toogoofy317]

Has anyone taken or know anything about these meds. My doc started me on them yesterday. And after taking them I feel dizzy, sick to my stomach, and just plain yucky.

I know ketex is a new antibiotic. but, not able to find to much info on the duomax.

Any help would be appreciated.

People with HCM should never take any medication whose generic name ends with "EPHRINE" --this is a stimulant and can cause tachycardia and/or palpitations.

most decongestants are some form of this. any "non-drowsy" formula should be suspect.
