Damn doctor won't give me a script, I pay a lot for insurance over 400.00 per month. It's not like he is prescribing me a narcotic, its only antibiotics.

High copays, high premiums and I can't get the treatment I need is hogwash.

Is there a sight I can purchase without a script

I know there are locations in other countries but I've never used them. When I feel I might need an abx and don't want to go that route I dose heavily with Echineaca for a couple days or more and often my issues are gone. I keep a stash of amoxicillan since my hip replacement and it has a long shelf live.

Google "fish antibiotics" as they are the same as human form. Preppers store them.

What "bacteria" and which antibiotic do you plan to use for it?

It sounds like your doctor does not think you have a condition for which an antibiotic should be used. The hazard for overusing antibiotics when they are not needed is that bacteria become resistant to them and then they do not work. It's not "only antibiotics".

What treatment does the Dr. prefer to antibiotics? Are you sure its a bacterial infection and not a fungal infection (ie a bad jock itch)?

It's ONLY antibiotics?!! Can't get the treatment you "need"??? Seriously??? You may THINK you need it, but your doctor clearly disagrees.

As another poster pointed out, if you have a condition for which antibiotics would NOT work, then your doctor definitely should NOT prescribe them. Good for your doctor, frankly. Too many doctors have prescribed antibiotics in the past for infections (e.g. viruses) that could NOT be treated with them -- which has led to major problems with resistant bacteria. See this, for example, from the CDC: CDC: 1 in 3 antibiotic prescriptions unnecessary | CDC Online Newsroom | CDC .

If you have a question about why your doctor didn't prescribe you something that you think you need, just ask him/her about it -- don't try to buy something that likely will not work.

Were you honest with your doctor about what you have been up to or did you go in there and make some symptoms up, hoping to get an antibiotic? Certain infections "down below" only respond to one or two classes of antibiotics and even then they can be persistent. The doctor needs to properly diagnose the infection in order to treat it and to be sure there is not more than one bacteria at play. You also need to be checked after the treatment to be sure that it has cleared otherwise you will play the role of Typhoid Mary.

NO.

And don't say the doctor refuses to give you treatment you NEED.

My guess is you weren't straight with him.

Once a dog bit me and I wanted an a/b but I lied saying it was a tree branch thorn or she'd have to report the dog. She didn't want to give me one either. UNTIL I asked her to write her name and license number down so if I couldn't work from a swollen leg I'd know who to sue.

She wrote the script. LOL

Return2FL is correct. Not all classes of a/b resolve all bacteria so you could be wasting your time because half the time they're GUESSING which one will work best unless you get the thing cultured.

One of my clients just told me her husband had MRSA PNEUMONIA. OMG. I asked how they knew it was MRSA and it was from a culture (after a lavage)
