Common Questions and Answers about Doryx length of treatment

doryx

Avatar f tn Hello, Doryx or doxycycline is often used as an acne treatment but hair loss is not a reported side effect. Causes of hair fall could be like nutrients and proteins deficiency in the hair cells, emotional or physical stress, hormonal imbalances, dandruff, and serious illness like a tumors, infectious disease and Alopecia areata.In your case it can be stress induced. If there is underlying disease or nutritional deficiency .
1142540 tn?1261368153 My scalp has also been very dry and itchy with dandruff. I never had any of these problems before Doryx and so of course I stopped about a week ago. My hair is at least half of what it was last year. Please help someone if you know anything? How devastating as a woman to have to go through this. If losing hair was listed as a side effect (like it should be), I would not have taken this. Clearly it's no coincidence.
1138687 tn?1548643978 Generally speaking, doxycycline is used only immediately after a recognized tick bite. Some MDs still use it without regard to length of infection time, but from what I understand, it's not effective after the bacteria have settled in and created protected areas called biofilms in the body, where doxy can't penetrate. How long ago were you bitten?
Avatar n tn Hopefully in the next few months they will reach the length of the rest of my hair and blend in with my curls. Right now theyre just above my ears but I first started to see the new hairs come in around my roots after being off the drug for about 6 months! hope this helps!
Avatar m tn There are very good antipsycotics to help ease the symptoms you have described. I have read a few posts where people have experienced your type of problems as well. Treatment for hepc is very very difficult for some and no two people are effected exactly the same. I hope in time you find a solution that benefits you long term.
Avatar m tn Triple medication treatment of Interferon, Ribavirin, and a Protease Inhibitor (either Teleprvir or Boceprevir) are now the standard of care for treatment of Genotype 1. The length of treatment depends on your past response to treatment. I am not sure in which country you live and if the new protease inhibitors are available where you live. If they are available then it would be important to discuss treating with the triple medication regimen with your doctor.
1394098 tn?1385960134 With Incivek, treatment duration for naives and relapsers with an *RVR* or undetected at week 4 and 12 is 24 weeks. All others including cirrhotics, null and partial responders are advised to treat 48 weeks With Victrelis, treatment duration for naives who are undetected at week 8 and 24 treat is 28 weeks. Previous partial responders or relapsers undetected at week 8 and 24 treat for 36 weeks.
Avatar m tn Day 7 out of ten of cipro treatment and really no results. I thought it was feeling better, but my scrotum is still like twelve feet long. That alone makes me uncomfortable. I really don't have much if any pain in the testicles. The pain in my perinium is fine and was probably from sitting to long I guess. I still haven't had an ultrasound due to not having any insurance, but am still remaining hopeful that the condition subsides over the course of the treatment.
Avatar n tn I was prescribed the same treatment that had worked so well before (minus the Doryx) but of course it didnt work one bit this time. I was then prescribed Differin and Finacea..no results Abt two months ago, I was prescribed Solodyn, I use neutrogena creamy wash, Retin-A and some hydroquinone for the dark spots. The solodyn make me break out in a HEAP of HIVES !! so I stopped taking it about 3 weeks ago and now I have been prescribe Bactrim?
Avatar m tn I've been prescribed Keflex, Bactrim, and now Doryx. Still won't go away. I don't go out anymore because of this condition. I don't know what I would do if I met a really cool girl. Oh wait, I'd probably just walk right past her and look the other way, even if she tried to talk to me. This condition is so embarrassing. I've taken about 16/30 of the Doryx medication (Qty. is 30) The marks don't seem to be going away.
Avatar n tn Hi! Maybe this is not really because of dorix. I'm losing a lot of hairs these days and I'm not taking tablets. If dorix produces this loss of hair I'm pretty sure that this loss has been increased because of the weather. Don't desperate but take care of your hair. Luck!!
Avatar f tn As far as treatment duration with Incivek in the Illuminate trial a (study included 540 HCV genotype. 1 treatment-naïve patients) the aim of the study was to find out if there was added benefit in extending the total treatment duration from 24 weeks to 48 weeks. Based on the data there was no benefit seen in extending the treatment duration from 24 to 48 weeks. The stats are easy enough to follow in this link: http://tinyurl.com/clah489 It is read only.
Avatar m tn I suggest you to consult a dermatologist and get it evaluated as treatment for molluscum is different. Treatment includes physical destruction or manual extrusion of the lesions, cryotherapy, and curettage. 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.
Avatar f tn How long is your LP (luteal phase)? If it's below 12 days then shorter cycles may be a problem. Also, I heard someone mention on this forum that if you O too early you may be releasing the egg that's not yet mature. So, it's not the length of your cycle that's important but rather the timing of ovulation. If you O in the middle you are OK and your LP should be around 12 days. Otherwise, your LP may be too short or you O too early. I hope this helps....
1752948 tn?1466354161 When you read the part (further down) on length of treatment, you will see the results of the studies. In the one study that included Cirrhotics, there was no statistically significant difference in SVR for Cirrhotics versus Non-cirrhotics. "There was no difference in SVR12 in those with cirrhosis (97%) versus those without cirrhosis (98%)" The study included 16% with Cirrhosis (which would be 138 people with Cirrhosis).
Avatar m tn I am a married man for 13 years. In a moment of weakness, I had oral sex with another man. We did not ejaculate into each other mouth but I did taste pre-cum. About two week later I started getting a discomfort feeling in the end of my penis and urinating more frequemtly. What are my chances of catching something? I performed oral sex on my wife about a week after but there has been no other sexual contact with her.
Avatar m tn I would assume from the date of treatment. Does apple cider vinegar really work? Have yet to try it. I just have very small ones that can only be seen under light. Aldara doesn't do anything to them. I've been taking papillex which is a herbal supplement that helps boost your immune system to specifically fight off hpv. Your suppose to use at least 3 months to see results. I'm still on month one. I really just cannot wait until this awful disease goes away.
2025701 tn?1328919633 Are you seeing a hepatologist? Some people here have had GIs treat them who really haven't been as on top of it as a good liver doctor. Perhaps your doctor wants you to do the longer treatment because of your cirrhosis. Treatment can't be done in later stages of cirrhosis. Then you are looking at a liver transplant. In response to how damaging these meds can be you can look at the long list of possible side effects and easily get scared.
4705307 tn?1447970322 Riba boosts the success rate of treatment, but that does not mean it extends the half life of Interferon. As noted in my pot above above, there is nothing in the 3 articles I linked to that says anything about Riba increasing the half life of Interferon.
Avatar n tn There is no 10 week treatment. Length of treatment comes from your genotype and your early or late response to the treatment. Most genotype 1's must treat a minimum of 48 weeks and geno 2 & 3 treats for 26 weeks.
1336893 tn?1275746728 i take them and they do nothing . ive taken a full course of this treatment no results and this is really bothering me, it just comes and goes when it feels like and nothing cures it so far, i tried blue star ointment and cortisone and other methods. I guess i should go back to the doctor maybe internal medicine this time because this is really killling my confidence. what do you think? i have a few pics.

1752948 tn?1466354161 ION-1 investigated length of treatment (12 weeks vs 24 weeks) and the need for RBV. Sustained virologic response at 12 weeks (SVR12) was 97% to 99% across all arms, with no difference in SVR based on length of treatment, use of RBV, or HCV genotype 1 subtype. Sixteen percent of subjects enrolled were classified as having cirrhosis. There was no difference in SVR12 in those with cirrhosis (97%) versus those without cirrhosis (98%).
