Prevention of Endocarditis

Posted By Melissa on July 27, 1999 at 09:57:19
I have been diagnosed with a myxomatous degeneration of the posterior leaflet of my prolapsed mitral valve. Please tell me how progresive this is. Also, my doctor has told me to take 2 Gr. of antibiotics (amoxicillin) one hour before dental cleaning and 2 Gr. 6 hours afterwards. I have heard that the dosage of 2 Gr. 6 hours afterwards has been eliminated. Is this true? I don't want to take additional antibiotics if I don't need them.
Thanks so much for making this forum possible. It has helped so many of us.
