antibiotics and salicylates

[tielan]

Sooo...

Turns out the antibiotic capsule covers have salicylates in them. I've been taking them for the last week and the hand and foot have been all tingly again.

Last night, for my dose of antibiotic, I took the powder without the capsule (in some oat bran porridge to disguise the flavour) and the tingling seems to have faded somewhat.

*sigh*

Note to self: pull the capsules apart in future, and perhaps start looking for non-salicylate capsules to replace them.

... well at least now you know? Sigh.
