For Your Info....


"...Make sure your dentist or dental hygienist knows that you have mitral valve prolapse if you need to undergo dental work likely to cause gum bleeding, including routine cleaning. Also, tell your surgeon about your MVP before operations such as tonsillectomies, gallbladder surgery or prostate surgery. You may need to take a course of antibiotics before the treatment or surgery in order to reduce the risks of an infection. The prophylactic use of antibiotics destroys most of the bacteria that enter and travel through your bloodstream, thus preventing an infection of the heart valve. Amoxicillin is one of the most commonly prescribed medications for this use, but if you're allergic to the penicillin family of drugs, your doctor can choose other antibiotics instead, such as clindamycin, clarithromycin or azithromycin....."
