Doxycycl Hycl 100mg Tab

I am afraid to take the DOXY-CYCL HYCL 100mg tabs becaus eof the side effects. Yet I have been told I have cellucitis on my lower right leg. I have also been given CEPHALEXIN 500mg CAP LUP Are there any alternatives??? ## The first thing you need to understand is that cellulitis can be a very dangerous infection. In cases where people left it untreated, they have lost limbs or had to have large sections of flesh and muscle tissue removed that resulted in permanent scarring and disfigurement. There have even been cases where it turned fatal, because the infection became systemic. So, the point I'm trying to make is that the risks are far, far greater if you don't take the antibiotics and let the infection continue out of control. And as to their being alternatives, no there aren&...

I am 6 months pregnant and I was prescribed this medication, is it safe for me to take it? ## Hello, Mimi! How are you? No, this is actually not recommended during pregnancy, because there has been evidence of risk to the fetus. The FDA lists the typical side effects of antibiotics as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. It would be best to consult your doctor about taking an alternative medication. Is there anything else I can help with?

After having a toe nail removed, and the nail matrix killed I was prescribed DOXY-CYCL HYCL 100MG TAB. It has caused fevers, vomiting, tingling in my feet and a sunburn. The doctor said to finish the seven day course? What a freak, this is horrible, I want to flush this torture in a prescription bottle. What can I request as a replacement antibiotic? ## Those are definitely not normal side effects, but rather they are considered severe ones that can be dangerous and no, you shouldn't continue to take this antibiotic. Learn more Doxycycline details here. It's hard to suggest a replacement, without knowing yoru medical history.

I am the care giver for my wife and she has been diagnosed with staff infection, 3 small open sores on her butt. (by a PA filling in for our family doctor). The PA prescribed DOXY- CYCL HYCL 100MG TAB. After reading all the side affects that were listed on the info sheet that came with the prescription and information at this web site I decided not to give her this medicine till we have talked to our Doctor. We think her condition is pressure sores or bed sores. Our Doctor will be back next week (9 days from now). The PA also prescribed a pain pill for the discomfort. Do you think it is best and wait to see our Dr. that we have been seeing for 28 years? ## Hello, Jar! How are you?

have to take doxycycline hycl 100mg cap blue oblong tablet says mutual 105 on it. Was paying 10$ for 90 then it went up to 50$ now they are charging 299$ suddenly. Isn't mutual 105 generic? Is this pricing right or am I getting robbed? ## Have you asked the pharmacy about it? It is normal for prices to fluctuate, a lot of it depends on what their supplier is getting it for, as well as your location and etc. There are also some cases where they may have a certain medication under contract, so they can offer it for a very cheap price for a certain period of time. This is often true of medications that are on $4 and $10 lists. Then once that contractual agreement has run out, they have to charge more. For example, Walgreens does this with their program, you pay to join it, but then you...

I have been taking digoxin since January '14. Now I have a skin infection and have been prescribed Doxycycl Hycl 100mg tabs and have heard that there may be a negative interaction. ## Hello, Fastjack! How are you? Yes, that is correct. The Doxycycline can cause an increase in Digoxin levels, which has the potential to be dangerous. In this case, It would most likely be best to speak to your doctor about taking a different antibiotic. Antibiotic side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?
