Does anyone keep on hand at all times a super strong antitbiotic or been advised by their cardiologist to do so?
It occurred to me while on vacation outside the United States, that, though I always take a 'scrip bottle with ten thousand mg of Amoxycillin in it just in case I sever a blood vessel that routs directly to the heart, that I should ask my cardiologist or GP about keeping something on hand far more potent.
Has anyone been told that with the increased susceptibility to infection artificial heart valves have, that they should ALWAYS keep on hand XYZ drug in syringe or injection form?
Or is that speed unnecessary as long as an Antibiotic, like Amoxycillin, is taken orally, quickly after the cutting injury?
Gonna ask my GP when next I can by phone, but would like to know if anyone else has already been there, done that?
