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?

The FDA classifies this as an antibiotic, so it can be used to treat or prevent various types of bacterial infections.

I'm taking doxycycline 100mg (2/day for 10 days) to prevent infection from a sting ray encounter in SW Florida's gulf waters. Potential bacterium: Staph', Strep', Vibrio. I've read that recovery from this type of injury is long, slow, and often with set backs. I thought it was looking better after first 5 days, but then the ankle (site of puncture) has gotten more swollen & a bit warm. Ultrasound revealed NO barb. Only drainage was clear and just in first 2 days. Tomorrow is 10th day of antibiotic. Should I start another round or wait & see? I have 2 prosthetic hips - so I need to be careful of infection. Orthopedic doc says to culture drainage, if any happens, and adjust antibiotic to those results. ## Yes, they can be taken that way, if your doctor deems it...

I had some pains in my belly button, sometimes discover that I have a brown smelly discharge and pains (similar to period pains) in my lower abdonimal (left side). I went to the clinic and they gave me the green doxytet capsules(100mg) and metronidazole (200mg).

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...

It's a green and white capsule from mexico. I think it is an antibiotic but am not certain. ## This sounds a lot like Doxycycline... or some foreign version of it. I've seen other trade names of Doxycycline that appeared similar to what you mentioned; however I get the sense that the spelling is always subject to change when obtaining medications from abroad or via unregulated websites. If you live in the US, I'd probably consider taking it into a local pharmacy to see if they have any way of analyzing its contents. If I had to guess though, 100mg Doxycycline (an antibiotic) seems like a high probability. Please post back if you come across any new information.

Is there any difference between this and Amoxicillin for my dog? ## Although both medications have similar indications with regards to the variety of infections they treat, they are still two different types of antibiotics with different chemical structures, side effects, dosages, potency, absorption rates, etc; which all play a significant role in how well your dog may react and respond to each medication. So to answer your question, I wouldn't consider them equal for canines or humans. Doxycycline is in a class of medications called tetracycline antibiotics. Amoxicillin is in a class of medications called penicillin-like antibiotics. You can learn more about these drugs on the page for Doxycycline Details and Amoxicillin Details I hope this info helps!
