He has taken antibiotics before dental appointments since his transplant, yes. It's a worthwhile precaution. Remember, antibiotics in general will kill the good bacteria along with bad! He hasn't been told to avoid certain ones, to my knowledge or his memory.

Just curious....what antibiotic does he take and who prescribes for you...the doctor or his dentist? My husband had an exam and teeth cleaning prior to his transplant on 6/20, but I like being prepared. ☺️

Thank you Ginger! 😊 Do you remember which antibiotic your husband was given in the hospital when he developed C diff? I had a squamous cell carcinoma removed at the dermatologist. It got fiery red and unhappy so the nurse recommended 100mg Doxycycline twice a day. It really upset my digestive tract!
