Is Doxy Tablet An Antibiotic

Is prolonged menstruation a side effect of Doxytet antibiotics? I have been prescribed this tablet nearly a month ago and have to continue taking it until next hospital appointment. But my menstruation seems never ending. Please advise as this is very strange to me. ## Are you by any chance on some type of oral contraceptive....a birth control pill? If so, then this can occur, because the antibiotic can reduce the effectiveness of them and withdrawal bleeding can occur, just like it would on your placebo week.

Hi. I went to clinic on monday for my papsmear for the first time and during that course the nurse discovered that I have a lot of discharge, so she prescribed green doxytet capsules. As I continued to take them I noticed a few side effects: tiredness, loss of appetite, and de thick discharge in de mornings. On the 4th day I used it I couldn't sleep at night. I felt in my chest a kind of pain as if I had swallowed something hard and in the morning I couldn't swallow or even drink tea as it felt like I had inflammation till now in the afternoon. My question is, should I continue with the medication or not? Please help. ## Those can be normal side effects of this medication, but it never hurts to consult a doctor or nurse to be sure. Other side effects, as reported by the NIH, may...

Odor not usual to normal odor..not much discharge, but there is a fishy smell coming when I am naked down in vaginal Area ## Hi Carealot! Have you been to a doctor and have you been diagnosed with an STI? You need to contact your doctor and get tested. If you do have an STI then your doctor can give you the proper antibiotic. ## @carealot, Sorry to hear about your situation... But Cats is right that your doctor should be able to prescribe you the appropriate antibiotic based on their diagnosis and a closer evaluation. However, I am finding from my own research that certain antibiotics such as (Azithromycin or Doxycycline) are what's commonly recommended by doctors for treating chlamydia. I hope this helps answer your question!

Do doxytet work in curing ear infections if not wat can I get? ## Oral antibiotics can work, but they are generally not as fast and effective as the liquid antibiotics drops that you actually put in the ear. Learn more Doxytet details here. Was this the antibiotic prescribed for you to use? Learn more ear infection details here. The other advantage of the ear drops is that many of them also contain small amounts of steroids that can help with any inflammation and pain that you may be experiencing.

I took 3-day 500 mg Azithromycin for Acne rosacea. The total dose should be 3 day 500 mg and then skip 5 days and then take 3-day 500 mg until 4 weeks of period. but I have skin rash and itching. My doctor prescribed doxycyclin 150 mg per day. I thought Azithromycin was safer than Doxy and less sunsensitive. Should I continue Azithro or start taking Doxy and quit Azithro after three days. ## You should follow your doctor's instructions, if you are itching from the Azithromycin, that could be due to an allergic reaction and they tend to get worse, with repeated expose to the offending medication. They both carry the same risks. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can he...

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...
