My LLMD prescribed Mepron a while back.....in combo with Azith and Amox. Then the Amox was dropped and replaced with Ceftin.
I was on Mepron for about three months. Sailed right through with no problems at all. It was very effective for me as well, in treating Babs. It just tasted awful! Blech !!!
Most definitely needs to be taken with 'oil' to insure absorption. I just popped my big omega fish oil pill right before and then ate a banana to get rid of the after taste.
I will say it did increase (I think) my shortness of breath....but that symptom soon went away.
Don't spill it on anything !! It will stain.
