I am glad that the medication has worked for you and I know you meant well.
Unfortunately not all medications suit everyone and of course it also depends on any underlying medical issues and other medications that a person may be taking.
I had a very bad reaction to Tramadol after just taking one tablet; these were prescribed to me by my doctor.
After many months on Ibuprofen (prescribed by my doctor), I had to stop taking it due to severe oedema.
Some people have allergies to amoxicillin.
Lysine also written as L-lysine, is an essential amino acid that is necessary for human health. The body can't manufacture Lysine so we get it from food or supplements.
Most people get enough Lysine in their diet. Athletes and vegans who don't eat beans, as well as burn patients may need more. Not enough Lysine can cause fatigue, nausea, dizziness, loss of appetite, agitation, bloodshot eyes, slow growth, anaemia, and reproductive disorders. For vegans, legumes (beans, peas, and lentils) are the best sources of Lysine.
Thank you for your post. It has enabled me to learn more about Lysine. I think I will have beans on toast for my dinner. :)
Best wishes.
Wow! I have to admit I have taken Lysine for 30 years and never realized it could hurt your liver and kidney....and I know I never knew it could hurt pregnant or lactating women.
Very sorry to hear this and I was really just telling my story and apologize for not saying IN MY OPINION ONLY. I do make it sound like it is the answer and everyone should try it. Again meant no harm just hoping to help some people.
I will be more careful when commenting on this thread in the future.
Thank you for the Warning!
LYSINE is not suitable for everyone to use. People with kidney and liver disorders should avoid using Lysine and Pregnant and lactating women need to take caution when using this medication.
People with high levels of lysine in the blood or urine should not take Lysine supplements.
As with all medications, this one too has side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain as well as causing kidney disorders over long term use.
