Avatar f tn Hi, 1. I've got secondary syphilis rash and I've been prescribed Doxycycline twice a day 100mg for 14 days. After two days most of the rash healed but today is the 7th day I take Doxycycline (I take them very strict every 12 hours) and I have one white patch on the tongue and one a little few maybe spots on the neck. Is Doxycycline not working on me? Should I be worried? I can't take penicillin. 2.
Avatar n tn Call your pharmacist and ask about this, he will know. I've never heard of it causing anxiety, but you never know. It may also just be coincidental that your Zoloft is not working as well and you may need the dosage tweaked. If your pharmacist says "no" contact your prescribing doctor for the Zoloft and go from there. Take care.
Avatar m tn I have thrown up twice and both the times when I took the Doxycycline. I am no longer taking the Doxycycline and just finishing up the Acyclovir. August 11, I paid for a full STD Blood Test and everything Except Herpes 1 was negative.. I even paid for an HIV PCR Test to know ASAP about a possible HIV infection.
Avatar n tn have consumed small amounts of dairy. there is 5 more days of the med to be taken. it seems to be working despite consuming the small amounts of milk/cheese. will avoid it for 2 hours from the dose. is there anything else i need to do. thank you!
Avatar n tn My dog Cruiser is not responding to treatment. He was fine 3 weeks ago and within a few days yelped alot, was bloated and lost his appetite. When brought to the vet, he had an x-ray (with the above results), and the vet didn't see too much of note. We then did a CBC and he tested positive for Anaplasmosis. He was immediately started on 50 mg of Doxycycline and given Tramadol for pain (I've added around 150mg of aspirin occasionally for inflammation).
Avatar m tn Do I need to wait to be tested again because the titer is staying the same not moving. Should I not be having sex right now? I have about 2 more days left on Doxycycline, when should I go back to retest to see if the titers are falling? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks everyone.
Avatar n tn Phenazopyridine and Doxycycline. Symptoms got real bad around october 31 when I got the meds and there was a weird greenish discharge from my penis. It only happened once and never again. So far the meds seem to be working. If they don't what can possibly mimic the symptoms of Gonorrhea and what should I tell doctors?
Avatar n tn if you have symptoms, you need to be seen. the sooner the better so you can get an accurate diagnosis and testing done.
Avatar f tn No not yet i have an app in a couple of days
Avatar f tn Went back another 2 weeks later to planned parenthood, she did a wet mount and said she saw white blood cells, so prescribed me doxycycline without running my urine since it could have been a false positive. Anyways, the doxycycline seemed to help the uti symptoms until it was finished, now I feel the same as before. Really confused??? Going back into the clinic Monday to get tested and probably prescribed something else. What could be causing this?
Avatar n tn Sure, there are lots of antibiotics. If you're allergic to azithromycin, you also probably can't take clarithromycin and erythromycin. And if doxycycline doesn't work, there's probably no used in taking tetracycline. So that does eliminate a lot of them. If the doxycycline isn't working, either your tests are consistently false positives, or you have a resistant strain. It's not typical, but it does happen.
984138 tn?1359813073 I'm not an MD and not medically trained, but to my knowledge, doxycycline would not treat a yeast infection. Doxy is an antibiotic that treats only bacteria (including Lyme), not yeast (which is in the fungus family). In addition, antibiotics wipe out not only 'bad' bacteria but also the 'good' bacteria that protect your body against fungal infections. It may be that the receptionist at the MD's office got things confused. I would check to be sure.
Avatar n tn How affective is doxycycline 100mg when taken for a period of seven days to cure infections and std's present in the body alone with a shot a penicillin.
Avatar n tn I took single dose of doxycycline everyday for 6 weeks during the summer. Would that have cleared a chamydia infection.
Avatar f tn I have a other 7 days of antibiotics but feel as though I might need to go back to the doctor to say its not working. Am I overreacting? Have I not given it enough time to work. Im concerned that this pain isn’t normal for having Ureaplasma. Any suggestions on what I can do?
Avatar f tn Can someone tell me what STDs can be treated with Doxycycline? Can you list all of them please? Thank you.
Avatar m tn I have been using doxycycline, I have had trouble urinating still I had oral sex about 3 months ago. First my penis was going numb and then it went away.
Avatar f tn The tetracyclines, including doxycycline and minocycline, are bacteriostatic unless given in high doses. If high blood levels are not attained, treatment failures in early and late disease are common. However, these high doses can be difficult to tolerate. For example, doxycycline can be very effective but only if adequate blood levels are achieved either by high oral doses (300 to 600 mg daily) or by parenteral (IV) administration.
Avatar m tn 2 weeks ago, I was given one dose of 1g azithromycin that helped (pain when urinating gone). Last week, since they also found chlamydia in my anus, I was again prescribed doxycycline (2x100g) for 7 days. However, the clinic made a mistake and only gave me 12 (instead of 14) 100g tablets that make my treatment will only lasts 6 days. The thing is I really can't pick up the extra tablets as the clinic is out of town and I am working full time and going abroad in 2 days.
Avatar f tn where did the pills come from?
Avatar f tn I took Doxycycline for 10 days to treat a sinus infection. A week after finishing the Doxy I developed a sore throat and sore tongue. I'm assuming it is a reaction to the drug. How long will this stay in my system and is there anything I can take to alleviate the reaction?
Avatar m tn I'm currently taking Doxycycline for anti-malaria reasons. I was wondering if it's unsafe to take for 5 consecutive months?
Avatar f tn I have horrible acne and was prescribed doxycycline. I take orthrotricyclen, does anyone know if they interfere?
