Avatar f tn It's great news that you are doing well on your treatment! I don't recall anyone posting here about minocycline, but then my memory's not what it used to be, ha. Also not familiar with the Sunnybrook test -- Sorry not to be more useful! Hope you continue to improve. PS If you're up for some heavy reading, you might try the ilads [dot] org website, the 'about lyme' tab, and read Dr Burrascano's treatment guidelines.

It takes much longer for you to become chronic, the LLMD says to continue your meds 3-4 months after your symptoms are gone to make sure. I was bit over 22 years ago, I am considered chronic.
Avatar m tn The test was a rapid antibody test. Can someone please weigh in and tell me could minocycline possibly be used as a PEP drug for HIV? And if so, should I be worried about my status? Should I test again? I'm worried because I read on the web minocycline is an investigatory drug for HIV that has been shown to reduce replication of the virus. Here's the link. http://jid.oxfordjournals.org/content/201/8/1132.full Please advise. Any replies are helpful. Thanks.
Avatar n tn Discuss it with your doc. Probably it is time to stop the minocycline; I doubt any antibiotic is going to make a difference. Perhaps most important, none of these problems -- chronic prostatitis, recurrent/persistent NGU, CPPS -- causes serious health outcomes for either affected men or their sex partners. All are an issue of comfort and inconvenient symptoms, not important health difficulties. I hope this helps.
Avatar n tn Thank you for your response. I very much appreciate the help. If possible I would like to ask a few follow-up questions. I actually used Fucidin H Cream for a 1 week period earlier this summer as prescribed by my general practitioner and it did not help my condition at all, at which point I switched back to the Tropicort, which cleared it up quite quickly, only to come back again of course.
Avatar f tn I know that you have already answered questions about antibiotics affecting HIV tests, but I wanted to ask this specific question. I am on 50mg of Minocycline twice a day, every day, on a long term basis for acne. When I searched the internet, I found a handful of results about Minocycline affecting HIV patients.
Avatar m tn The name of this medication i am on is Minodene (50mg) and it contains a substance called Minocycline. It says it is used for sexually transmitted infections, prostate infections etc and in the instructions it says it may affect medical results. Is the test at 8 weeks reliable?? so in other words im on these tablets and do the tablets affect my result i got from a INSTI test? Thanks!
Avatar f tn We decided to use a topical cream, for the more oily areas on my face, and for me to take a 100mg dosage of Apo-Minocycline two times a day (morning and night). This worked fantastic for a few months. Eventually, I developed this odd rash on one side of my neck. The skin was very red and dry, somewhat scaly/bumpy, a bit raised, uneven + about the size/shape of my thumb. It kind of itched/hurt as well. I wasn't sure if it was connected to my skincare or not, so I continued with my routine.
Avatar n tn A week later I developed an ulcer and swelling on the shaft of the penis. I take minocycline (antibiotic) for acne, but had not taken it for about one month. I started taking it a couple days after the sore and swelling appeared, and both subsided within 3 days. It has been almost five weeks since my encounter. I have not had any fever or noticed any enlargement of my lymph nodes. I did have a sore throat for a couple days recently, but that passed.
Avatar f tn Here is a great article about food interactions with drugs sometimes used to treat Lyme and coinfections. I have been on a few of the meds listed in the artIcle, and I was unaware of these conflicts, especially dairy / calcium with the tetracyclines (Doxycycline, Minocycline) & fluroquinolones (Cipro, Avelox, Levaquin). It also mentions that caffeine, and therefore chocolate, can interfere with some antibiotics, but then doesn't say which ones. http://health.yahoo.
Avatar n tn Since you feel the lesions are worsening, you either need to stop the application of Azelaic acid or supplement it with oral anti-biotic like (tetracycline, doxycycline, minocycline) which is the first line of treatment for Rosacea. Ref:http://en.wikipedia.
494623 tn?1278279352 I like in the UK and l wirk in a hospital last year caught MRSA at work in October 2007 this was treated and everything seemed fine until Decemeber 2007 when i started to get very sore finger and toes and my left knee as well, I was refered to a Rheumatiologist who said I had RA this has got progressively worse as I am not being treated with anything ..... my blood work and Xrays were all normal btw.
Avatar f tn What can be taken for allergic reaction for minocycline that won’t jazz your heart up?
Avatar f tn ve read is telling me that minocycline is extremely bad to take while pregnant or becoming pregnant.
Avatar m tn m a 25 year old female and about 4 years ago I started really exercising for the first time. As soon as I started working out, my skin began breaking out with large, cystic, painful pimples that would appear anywhere from a few hours to a couple days after exercise. I went to two different dermatologists and both prescribed regular acne medications (topicals and minocycline) which did not help.
