Doxycycline Could Be Use As Morning After Pill

I took half a bactrim 3 hours ago. Can I change to doxycycline now? I have a rash on my hands. My dog was itching yesterday and I gave it an oatmeal bath but i did not wear gloves. I need to go to bed. Also had a b12 inj. which is normal this morning. I take valium at bedtime too. ## Hello, Kat! How are you doing? Has there been any change? Antibiotics will not do anything to help with an allergic rash, you'd need some type of antihistamine or steroid to treat that. Have you consulted your doctor? Usually, a topical steroid would be tried first and the FDA lists their typical side effects as possibly including skin redness, irritation and dryness.

About a month ago I woke up with swollen eyelids, red eyes, no itching and had watery liquid coming out. The Ophthalmologist could not find anything wrong with the eyes and made a channel on the side of the eyes for extra fluid to drain. I was OK for a few days then both the swelling and redness came back. Went to a GP and he diagnosed me with a bacterial infection and prescribed doxycycline 100 mg two times for 15 days. I finished my antibiotic course two days ago but every morning the swelling of the eyelids (both upper and bottom) is worse in the morning and is gone by the afternoon, but the redness and watery discharge remains throughout. Again, the next day same issue. FYI - I don't have more crust upon waking up than I used to have before this condition developed. Please tell ...

I was prescribed doxycycline for syphilis. I've been taking it for a little over a week. The sores in my mouth are gone and my urine isn't dark anymore. A few days ago I started noticing my shoulder and neck are stiff and sore. Then my vagina started to itch. The next day I had discarge and I kept thinking there was hair in my mouth and my tongue was turning white. Apparently its called hair tongue? I woke up this morning and I have a canker sore on the inside of my cheek and on the inside corner of my mouth. My Dr said that when I take the antibiotics my symptoms may get worse for a while but that's normal. Is that what's happening? BC I googled my symptoms and it came up side effects of antibiotics. I want to know if I'm having an allergic reaction. Help!!! ## Hell...

Taking doxycycline hyclate 100mg for possible urethritis. Have a 7 day prescription. have taken only one day, 2 pills so far. Woke up this morning and still felt pain urinating. How long does it take or should it take for symptoms to improve, or go away? ? ## Hello, John! How are you? The general rule for antibiotics is that if they are working, you shouldn't see any worsening after taking them for a full 24 hours and you should start to see improvement after taking them for a full 3 days. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Has there been any change, yet? ## Finishing 3rd day, decent improvement. 4 days left, hopefully it will work ## John, Good to hear just be sure to complete the full 7 da...

How many doses does it take to treat a yeast infection at 1 in morning and 1 at night. How long does it take to clear up the yeast infection I have gotten from being on penicillin? Sorry not sure if spelled correctly, I was on that for my tooth but my body always gets them when I take them. ## This medication is manufactured by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, and they list it as containing 100mgs of Doxycycline, which is an antibiotic that is used to treat bacterial infections (NDC 53489-119). Thus, it will not help with a yeast infection, as reported by the FDA, it could also cause one, or worsen an existing one, just like the Penicillin. Other side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. To treat a yeast infection, you...

Also I take doxycycline 100 MG (half pill) either 1 hour before or 2 hrs. after I eat with 12 oz water. Take vitamins with 12 oz orange juice. Totat input of fluids between 50 to 60 oz. - since and after I stated using Apo sulatrim, I am gradually losing appetie. sometimes do not eating. When I wake up in the morning, I feel very tired and my energy level is extremely low. Is my fluid intake is OK? What are other side effects of this antibiotic? ## The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. How long will you be taking it? Have you spoken to your d...

Good Morning! We filled my son's scrip for Doryx and low and behold it is now a rectangle! Has anyone else had this issue - just want to confirm it is a change by the manufacturer. I have looked online and seen both, but the actual documentation says rectangle. ## What are the markings on it? That is what would enable use to check for you and make sure it is the correct medication. The shape doesn't actually mean anything. There are many generic Doxycycline tablets on the market, far too many for me to browse through all of them looking for a specific shape.

I am a 41 year old Family Doctor who requires 2 seizure medications. Topamax 200mg BID has been my mainstay for almost a decade. I have tried (in addition) Depakote, Lamictal and several others. Now Keppra. Although my seizures are controlled, I have developed the most severe cystic acne I have ever seen. Face, ears, neck, chest...incredibly painfully. These cysts have started blocking my tear ducts--my eyes are terribly swollen in the morning. I feel the tracts of these cysts up both nostrils. I have tried everything over the counter, all prescription remedies (Retin-A, minocycline, doxycycline) All to no avail. In addition to the acne, I (who consider myself an even-tempered, non-confrontational human) have become the most hostile, angry person....to the point I cannot stand myself. H...
