Avatar m tn tab Avindo 500(azithromycin Tablets IP- daily 2 for 6 days) + Isotroin 20mg (Isotretinoin, daily for 15 days) + hh fudic cream First derma. Prescribed dosage worked out in 20 days, but again acne started coming in 7-8 months. Again I consult with second, he prescribed me mentioned above, But I read from Internet that Isotretinoin has many side effects including hair fall, so I neglect that dosage of Isotretinoin by afraid , only azithromycin took for 6 days.
Avatar n tn Also felt sinus congestion and all around lousy. I have felt this way for over 60hours. Is this a side effect of Azithromycin? Does anyone have any other info for what might cause this?
Avatar n tn The treatment that you have been prescribed is correct. If you are having any side effects then get the antibiotics changed and even oral antibiotics can be added. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar n tn I took roaccutane in my late teens and it cleared up my acne wonderfully for a few years, but then it came back, and worse. My skin is much more sensitive now than it ever was before - rashes all the time.. Also, there have been big 'hoo haas' about whether or not it causes depression. I have also suffered a number of clinical depressions since. The best thing I've found for acne is Brevoxyl (4% benzoyl peroxide). It's a cream, available over the counter.
Avatar n tn However, this and other side effects wore off as my body got used to the medication. I had no side effects, except for dry lips, from 12 weeks onwards and took Accutane for 24 weeks. Side effects are generally dose related. Taking Accutane at the recommended dose for 16 to 24 weeks is your son's best hope of a long term remission from acne. The recommended dose is between 0.5 and 1mg x kg bodyweight per day. So your son should take between 30mg and 60mg per day because he weighs about 60kg.
Avatar n tn i m 26yrs old, n i started having acne wen i was 23yrs...i have used azithromycin for acne, for about 2years.. not continously though... i want to know what effect it would have on my liver.... i also had peels done, but acne is still persisting....n i hv got acne scars also.... can u suggest a treatment for my problem.....
Avatar f tn Is this documented that Accutane does cause premature epiphyseal closure? If so why is this drug being prescribed and why isn't this on the long list of side effects. My son was on this and he has not grown since, or while taking it. He was just past his 14th birthday when he took it. His acne was severe and it is also now back. It did clear up for a short time. He is only 5, 5. I started typing in about accutane and growth and have come up with a long list of concerncs about growth.
1692704 tn?1307211780 Azithromycin is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are diarrhea or loose stools, nausea, abdominal pain, and vomiting which may occur in fewer than one in twenty persons who receive azithromycin. Rare side effects include abnormal liver tests, allergic reactions, and nervousness." Hope it gets tolerable soon.
Avatar n tn SIDE EFFECTS: Azithromycin is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are diarrhea or loose stools, nausea, abdominal pain, and vomiting which may occur in fewer than one in twenty persons who receive azithromycin. Rare side effects include abnormal liver tests, allergic reactions, and nervousness if you had an adverse reaction generally it will happen as quickly as yours has. Contact your dr. to see if you should continue with your treatment.
Avatar f tn Iwent to a doctor to treat a acne outbreak and they prescribed a wide spectrum antibiotic, azithromycin, a topical cream, clindamycin and a moisturizing cream contain allantoin and panthenol, I'm on my second weak of treatment and ive noticed red dry painful areas on chin and side chin what could be the cause of this
Avatar f tn ) Also, like DaliaP, I have been reluctant to fill a prescription for Minocycline and Differin which were prescribed by our family physician for our 14 year old son. When I searched for side effects, they definitely caused some concern. Are the side-effects common? How do you know if the benefits outweigh the risks? We have tried over the counter products containing benzoyl peroxide and/or salicyclic acid, and sulfur. They seem to have made his acne worse.
Avatar f tn The doc has told him to take Isotretinoin capsules twice a day and apply Contractubex along with that. He complains of various side effects as a result of taking the capsules and there hasn't been any improvement in the appearance of his scars. What do you suggest?? 3)Acne. It's the worst thing to happen to anyone. Both my brother and I suffer from it and we've been prescribed very many ointments and tablets. I am 23 and my brother is 18.
Avatar f tn I have to take it for first time tonight! Scared of side effects! Just found out I have pcos n I'm havin hard time understandin it! I have been dealin with a lot of stress an now this!!!
Avatar n tn i recently got put on antibiotics (azithromycin) for a throat infection, but these pains are not a side effect. i have experienced the side effects of my antibiotics; i had diarrhea and slight stomach pains, but that was it. i'm 16; female. i know i'm very young but i'm still scared if this is something serious. thanks so much!!!!!!!!
Avatar m tn Accutance did clear my acne for only few months...but now i still have acne and these weird side effects....almost destroy my life... I dont know what i have to do now... the doctor you put me on on accutance, seem doesn't care... when i told him...so i hope Doctors on Medhelp can kindly help me do something....maybe finally i figure out why Accutance make people have suicidal thought because these side effects my feel dont want to live any more.... not the med itself .
Avatar n tn I am so worried about him being on this medication. There are so many reported side effects with this, I wonder what the percentage of people experience these side effects. Why would his back be hurting. What exactly is the Claravis doing to his back? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/241721'>Accutane- side effect - joint ache</a>.
Avatar n tn Ablify does cause acne, its the lesser of the side effects but it has been proven to cause acne. Anxiety, headaches, and insomnia are among the common side effects reported with Abilify. Side effects that are not as common include hemorrhoids, gas, and ACNE. Certain side effects are more serious and should be reported to your healthcare provider. These can include feelings of restlessness or jitteriness, high blood pressure, or abnormal muscle movements.
Avatar n tn I get it on my chest, back and face I have went to a derm since I was 18 but it never seemed to really help and I felt like since my acne was mild they never really cared. When I get acne it lasts for multiple weeks or months which is why its so agonizing especially cause afterwards I am left with post acne marks that can last up to a year. It has totally messed up my self confidence and has made me totally insecure.
Avatar m tn But then I felt a pain in my knee and read up on the side effects. I quit right away. I still have a bit knees pain. So i switched to Doxy, for 2 weeks 100mg a day the 1 week and twice a day the 2. I felt better some days but I'm still felling the sensation. It comes and goes now. Some parts of the day I don't feel, some I do. It's different than when It started, It's a bit more strong. It's not a pain, It's like a slight burning now.
Avatar m tn what are the side effects of prolonged intake of minolox 50 mg. ive been taking this for 15 months now without doctor s prescription. it works well to prevent the acne growth in my back , face and head.
Avatar n tn I meant to say that azithromycin is safe and effective in nursing mothers, with no adverse effects for the child.
Avatar m tn I do have very sensitive skin. I get a bit of acne occassionally, but didn't have a big problem on Dilantin or Keppra. I recently switched over from Keppra to Lamictal. Lamictal is supposed to have rashes as a side effect. Ironically, my skin has never been smoother. Even the melasma I had on my forehead has disappeared. I didn't think I had a problem before taking it, but definitely notice my skin looks nicer now. Good luck. There has to be something else you can try.
1063764 tn?1272821064 Hey I have been taking Tirosint for 3 months and I have had terrible side effects. I have lost so much more hair, I have broken out in hives, major headaches, memory loss, confusion, major depression, weight gain, on and on. I was taking armor before this and I had a lot less side effects. I felt so much better but the med world doesn't want to support armor for some reason so they fight against us taking it.
Avatar f tn org/drugs-supplements/azithromycin-oral-route/side-effects/drg-20072362 suggests that white spots on the lips are a rare side effect of azithromycin. I really hope that is causing it.
