1364054 tn?1346005167 Hello, Unfortunately I am unaware of sona gel but clindamycin is one the best treatments for acne vulgaris. Continue taking the doxycycline capsules and try for cleocin gel which contains clindamycin. Also keep you face clean by washing with a mild soap atleast twice a day.Pat it dry and do not rub it.Avoid picking or pressing the acne. You can also use Benzoyl peroxide 5% lotion or gel once at bedtime. An amount of lotion the size of a pea should be enough to cover most of your face.
Avatar n tn Hi Grarro, It was my understanding that you could drink moderately with most ATB's. But to double check I did some searching on the internet. The following is from a trusted web site. BEGIN QUOTE: "There are many myths about mixing alcohol and antibiotics and most of them are just myths and nothing more! It's one of the great myths that mixing antibiotics with alcohol can seriously mess you up.
Avatar n tn Despite wearing sunscreen spf30, areas that were not covered by suit, hat or shirt got a sun poisoning rash. Hat and full suit were on the entire time and shirt went on after 20-30 minutes.
2183887 tn?1338721728 s pretty hot and the sun shines a lot. That this fear of falling down and just going out into the sunlight is recent, I would definitely suggest you see your doctor. Fearing that we will pass out is a common symptom of anxiety, simply falling down, not so much. That you obviously leave your house, even though you don't want to go out into the sunlight, tells me you are not suffering from agoraphobia. (The fear of open spaces) It could be your eyes.
Avatar m tn If so your Doctor needs to change your treatment. This med also causes yellowing of the teeth and sensitivity to sunlight. The yellowing of teeth is a slow onset so may not be noticed with short term use. Please let me know if your situation has improved and if not let me know. Thanks.
Avatar f tn I looked like a Loris, redness everywhere, especially around the eyes and forehead and face and scalp. I looked so bad I did not even go to the grocery store for weeks. The only place I went was to the dermatologist and she was quite concerned. It is finally under control now, but not totally gone. As far as the vomiting is concerned, you may want to ask your doctor for a prescription medication. I used Zofran for the nausea. I took 8 mg every 8 hours.
Avatar f tn This could include a multi-vitamin, 1000 mg of vitamin C a day, a zinc supplement and 5000 IU of vitamin D3. Good diet and daily exposure to sunlight for at least thirty minutes will alsop help. (2) To take a culture of the infection to determine an appropriate antibiotic and then administer the antibiotic in sufficient strength to eliminate the organism. Saunas, loofa scrubs, and use of a mild bactricidal soap such as phisohex over infected areas would be a better idea..
Avatar f tn Hello, I have sort of an odd thing that has been going on for a couple of years. Every time I go out in the sun for a while I get really nauseas and weak. Headaches sometimes occur, but not as much as the nausea; my stomach gets really upset and sometimes I vomit. Yesterday it was a nice sunny day and I was outside for about a half hour and it happened. It lasts through the next day as well and is accompanied by even more weakness.

1157811 tn?1263831494 I know that natural sunlight provides a source of Vitamin D, and I wondering if there is a correlation between this and depression during the winter months when there is little or no sunlight?
Avatar n tn So, use sun screen atleast on your face before going in the sunlight and protect your face harmful UV rays. As you said you have a continuous itchiness, this must be because of excessive explosion of sunlight. In other case, consult to a skin specialist.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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..
Avatar n tn 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.
1415174 tn?1453243103 Has anyone had low dose doxycycline (50mg) used for rosacea or used any antibiotic and got severe vertigo 40 minutes after taking it? I had dizzyness then vertigo and my right ear went deaf then I almost fell but my husband caught me and I got nauseated, tired and cold. It only lasted for about 20-30 seconds. I have been sore from almost falling and jerking myself and tired all day.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn Does it occur when you're breathing? Are you short of breath?
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 m tn Hello, Difficulty urinating in males can be due to urinary retention which can be due to enlarged prostate due to benign prostatic hypertrophy (often called BPH) or infection of the prostate( prostatitis), any blockage in the flow of urine like any scar tissue, injury (as in a car wreck or bad fall), blood clots, infection, tumors in the pelvic region, and stones, infection or due to disruption of the delicate and complex system of nerves that connects the urinary tract with the brain and the ne
Avatar n tn see your doctor. and realize that you canNOT treat all STDs and that MDs do NOT have good tests for all STDs. some STDS we just call em when we see them. so they can say "i don't think you have herpes" but then you could have it. unless they do a blood test and for men, then don't have a test for HPV...
Avatar n tn I have been on doxycycline an antibiotic for about 5 days and i seem to be feeling very anxious and panic like. Does anyone know if this can cause these symptoms. I am also on 25mg of zoloft. Thanks for any help you can give me.
Avatar f tn I have horrible acne and was prescribed doxycycline. I take orthrotricyclen, does anyone know if they interfere?
Avatar f tn where did the pills come from?
Avatar f tn Can someone tell me what STDs can be treated with Doxycycline? Can you list all of them please? Thank you.
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?
