Hi Susan,

I’m new to replying and don’t see the reply I sent to you yesterday so am giving it another try.

The antibiotic is cefuroxime, It’s a cousin of penicillin but generally tolerated by folk’s allergic to penicillin. If you have a severe reaction to penicillin- like going into anaphylactic shock I don’t know if it would be suitable for you.

My allergic reaction to penicillin was decades ago and not severe. My pulmonologist is having me tested by the allergy department to see if I’m actually/still allergic. I didn’t know that could be done!

Hope that’s helpful,

Leslie
