Thankyou for the response doctor. I am only worried because my right kidney is not functioning from past several years. I am on no medication, no dialysis nothing....hence just to be on safer side i avoid taking any antibiotic which have any side effect on my kidney. In that case do you still suggest to go ahead with Taxim O or recommend any other antibiotic

Brief Answer:
Renal evaluation is needed before considering antibiotics

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir

In such a case its advisable to get a detailed renal evaluation before taking TAXIM O or any antibiotic for that matter.F or this I advise you to get the following tests

1 Renal Ultrasound

2.Blood urea and serum creatinine

3.Glomerular filtration rate.

After assessing these values, it is important to consider these antibiotics.
