I am going to be having a dental procedure in June. I had my hip replaced on June 29. Also, a very tiny hole in my heart was found during my pre-op appointment. I am allergic to Penicillin. For people allergic to Pencillin, my surgeon recommends 600 mg of Clindamycin one hour before the dental procedure. I really do not want to take this antibiotic (can have serious side effects), but the surgeon says this is my only option. My dentist says I need to do what the surgeon says. I have not yet checked with the cardiologist.
What have others who are allergic to Penicillin been prescribed?
Thank you!
