I recently cut my foot and the Dr. gave me some antibiotics to prevent any infection from spreading. Will this affect my cycle at all..health risks. I dont know if its related but my glute is much sorer than normal after a sus shot.Could this be due to meds or no.

I just finished taking antibiotics for a week for tonsilitis in the middle of my cycle. When I went to the gym on Monday I was a little weaker, but that was probably because I had been sick. I don't think they have any interactions with juice but I am not sure.

Thanks for your reply. I guess its not worth replying to if it's not about how hot some girl in a picture looks or about the BEST CYCLE EVER MAN! I guess if I'm looking for intelligent answers to steroids I better look elsewhere.

mass, dont worry about it...your 7-10 days of Keflex or whatever you took will not alter any effectivess or your AS or cause any adverse reactions associated with your AS.

Not to be contradictory, but I would check with E2 or Mac on that. I have researched a lot on juice and every opinion I came across says that antibiotics are counterreactive to juice. Like I said, check with the mods and vets, but that's what I have read.

All my research on this subject has indicated that no one really knows for sure. Most of what I found says antibiotics do effect the protein synthesis process but not enough to really matter. (Instead of gaining 15lbs you may only gain 13) I wouldnt worry about it, I take them for acne (steroid induced) when Im cycling and they dont bother me.

just do a medline search...it will justify my answer. Dont believe everything you read in Muscle and Fitness, etc. Antibiotics will not significantly hinder effectiveness of AS. But I am not an advocate of antibiotic use UNLESS it is absolutely necessary. But this is a totally non relevent to this board topic.

if in sick while cycling i always discontinue any oral AS i am taking ( they are generally harder on the liver ) until my antibiotic prescription is empty. then resume the orals where i started.
