I'm currently taking Doxycycline for anti-malaria reasons. I was wondering if it's unsafe to take for 5 consecutive months?
I took single dose of doxycycline everyday for 6 weeks during the summer. Would that have cleared a chamydia infection.
I am visiting Laos/Thailand in Jan 2011 and I have been advised to take anti-malaria tablets while there called Doxycycline.
Does anyone know if there is any interaction between these two drugs? Can it make one or the other not work as effectively?
Thanks.
since artesunate is also the most potent malaria drug it is best to use this one, please let us know if you can do also hbsag quantity in iu/ml test while on artesunate
some years ago a doctor cronic carrier of hbv wrote me an email and he also methioned that his mother cleared hbv after malaria treatment after a lifetime of cronic carrier, so malaria drug may have an hbv effec too and that would be good to try
Well, hey! Good to hear from you.
My LLMD treated the babesiosis first, and the mepron/zith did the trick. I was way better just getting rid of the babs. I haven't heard or read much of anything about lariam (aka Mefloquine) ... but I just looked it up on wikipedia (however trustworthy that is or isn't), and found some interesting stuff:
"Mefloquine is used to prevent malaria (malaria prophylaxis) and also in the treatment of chloroquine-resistant falciparum malaria. ...
After the event I was so worried that I started taking 2x100mg of Doxycycline each day. I had this medicine left over from a trip to asia as it is also a malaria drug. I have now been taking it for 11 days, even if I had caught Chlamydia or Gonorrhea would the drug have cleared it up by now. I have had no symptoms. also would this have cleared up any syphilis infection that I may have picked up.
Based on your history of gastrointestinal problems, I would not recommend doxycycline. Doxycycline works well but can cause sun sensitivity and can cause esophageal reflux (~ heart burn or indigestion). Now, we are down to two choices. First, malarone (atovaquone + proguanil). Malarone is taken daily, begun one day prior to arriving in a malarious area, taken every day while exposed to malaria, and then for one week after you leave the malarious region.
I do not want to stop taking the doxycycline as I want to ensure I am malaria free (I did get a few mosquito bites on my trip), but the thought of having heart-burn, gas, cramping, and really urgent, loose bowel movements for another three weeks is almost unbearable.
Do you have any thoughts? Insight? Suggestions?
and I still have them since returning home two weeks ago. I was taking Doxycycline for malaria prevention, for about 30 days, and stopped about a week ago. Reaction to the meds? Nasty tropical disease?
Have been on doxycycline for malaria prevention. After shaving my scrotum and penis I developed redness on the scrotum. It doesn't appear as a typical rash. There are no bumps or raised skin or edges. Red skin that is dry (initially flaky), itchy, warm to the touch, sensitive and skin appears thin. After a few days the redness spread to the penis and now the tip of my penis (penile ring) is red and sensitive.
As I was washing my hands I noticed a prescription bottle with the medication om it Doxycycline. I paniced and left without confronting her in person, sent a text after that she has not responded to.
Please help, I know oral is not 0 risk, what am I at risk for?
I then went to Asia travelling for 3 months where I took 100mg Doxycycline every day for about 60 - 70 days (for malaria). Since then I had unprotected vaginal sex again about 4 weeks ago (only time since last time). I had a couple of symptoms and then got diagnosed with Chlamydia.
My questions are:
a) Would the Doxycyxline have cleared up any Chlamydia (if present) prior to Asia. Given that I had no symptoms before recently.
I have been off doxycycline for 2 months now and my hair is still thinning. Can anyone tell me how long it will continue to fall out? I don't think my hair loss is as extreme as some that have posted here but I have lost alot of hair in the past two months. I did contact my doctor and I got a similar response as others on the forum. I really don't have any idea of what to do next. Started taking a biotin supplement and probiotics to help with restoring the good bacteria in my body.

I then went to Asia travelling for 3 months where I took 100mg Doxycycline every day for about 60 - 70 days (for malaria). Since then I had unprotected vaginal sex again with a girl about 4 weeks ago (only time since last time). I had a couple of symptoms and then got diagnosed with Chlamydia.

He also said it did not resemble an STD. Forgot to mention that I had been taking doxy as malaria prophylaxis. And the first doc said if I was worried about STD to double up my doxy for two weeks. Present day, noticed a small (about 4mm diameter) 'bald spot on tongue'. Had RPR-qualitative performed. Negative/ non reactive done by LabCorp. Are syphilis concerns unfounded?
I recently took a three week cycle of Doxycycline for an overseas trip, to prevent malaria, would this kill a bacteria infection? Do you recomend a examination by a Urologist? Thank You!
I have just read about it and there is another one similar HealthGuard T18 apparently is same or so ... if you search reviews in internet you find some positive stuff...
Im wondering if you tried that or if you got anything else. Im just as you were 1 year ago, newly diagnosed with hyperthyroidism ... i dont know if i have graves disease or what is causing this
thanks!
On the day after the incident I began to take 100mg of doxycycline hyclate twice a day for malaria prevention purposes and wondered if that might be the cause. I feel, however, that I am clutching at straws now.
You might just have West Nile which is very very common in Canada..see a doctor as soon as possible!
t always come with co-infections - and even when Lyme does come with co-infections some of them can be killed off with the doxycycline treatment. I've also read that Babesia can sometimes have mild symptoms but in some cases over a month or two your body can kill it off without extra treatment. If you have tested positive for a co-infection however - I would definitely pursue treatment.
She treated me with 1 cefixime pill and one other pill that I cannot remember while also taking doxycycline 100mg for 10 days twice daily (June 2016 at this point). Once all 10 days of the antibiotics were done I felt better and had no testicle irritation or discomfort for the next 8 months.
Recently I noticed my testicle feeling weird January 2017 with mild aching that felt familiar to my previous experience with "Epididymitis".
