instead, i juz told her my prob and she diagnosed me wif oesophagus reflux(side effect of doxycycline) meanin the acid in my stomach traveled up to my esophagus causing irritation and prescibe me wif anacid.
i read somewhere that if i were to take doxycycline, i must not take anacid because it will lessen the effectiveness of doxycycline.
so, now i'm at a lost again..
Some doctors prescribe omeprazole to protect the stomach when taking Ibuprofen, but if you are using the Doxycycline, you will not be able to have any antacids.
If your doctor has prescribed you with these medications, he/she should have instructed you on how to correctly take them.
As you have to take the Doxy with food and drink a glass of water with it, you should be OK taking the Ibuprofen at the same time.
Stopped taken the doxycycline and started to have chest pain went to a+e ecg performed, results normal i was sent home saying it was muscular pain. The pain has'nt fully subsided and currently being treated for acid reflux
Have any body else had this problem with this drug?
Also I've been taking it since early second trimester and im now due in less than two weeks and still take it when I need it
I had my gallbladder removed and take antacids all the time, I would also like to know about this.
m a male, and yes, I was prescribed Doxycycline for two monthes by the Dermatologist, and during the time I used to take it, I started having chest pain and shortness in breathing, these side effects seemed related to GERD, as the chest pain went off after taking Antacids, however I still suffer from occasional shortness in breathing, and I sometimes fear it's caused of HIV (one of the possible Acute HIV infections infecting the respiratory system) rather than GERD.
Tomorrow my suppression phase (leuprolide acetate shots) for ICSI process is going to start. I have a history of very bad Gastritis. And I again have gastritis symptoms for past one month now and i am on medicines. So was little worried if it is going to be any harm to my ICSI process. Though doctor has assured me, but i m still so tensed. I already feel so bloated, are these injections going to worsen the condition. I dont want to delay the process as well. Please help.

My doc seemed amazed that the stomach could affect the heart and didnt seem to believe the specialist. Am dazed and confused and sick of worrying about my heart. I also once had a dream in which on three different occasions my heart was torn from my body. On one instance I was a Mayan sacrifice and the other I remember took place during the second world war. I was a doctor and had been caugh and my heart cut out. I cant remember the third.
Doxycycline 100 mgm by mouth twice/day for 6 weeks and then once/day for 3-6 months is a common treatment of blepharitis and meibomian gland disease. It is not so much antibacterial as antiinflammatory and gets into the oild gland. That's the reason its also used for acne. There is a new product that is specific for blepharitis but I don't have the details or brand name. None of these cause floaters.
I was just diagnosed with lyme disease and will be taking Doxycycline for 30 days. Can anyone tell me if I must avoid dairy entirely or just avoid it a couple of hours before and after taking this antibiotics?
Thanks.
either ceftriaxone (Rocephin) or doxycycline would abort incubating syphilis, and the two together guarantees syphilis would be eradicated.
I suggest you lay off the internet. You're obviously very anxious about all this, and in that state of mind you will only find information to inflame and prolong your fears. All is well; nothing bad is going to come from this.
Does it occur when you're breathing? Are you short of breath?
I had chronic nausea for an entire year before my surgery so I am going to say yes it does because once the surgery was over I never had it again.
They took my gallbladder out the other day and found a "spot" on my liver. Biopsy isn't back yet. I had so many different symptoms it was a confusing mess!!
