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 m tn Try smoking a much smaller amount instead, or skipping your minocycline dose (with dr. supervision) to see if you still feel the same negative effects when you smoke. Good luck to you!
Avatar m tn I took minocycline with rifampin for my Bart's. I had no problems with it.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone, I am looking for any input or stories to share. I was prescribed minocycline for my acne on the 21st of December and started taking it that day, found out on the 27th of January that I am pregnant with my first baby and I am driving myself crazy with worry! Everything I've read is telling me that minocycline is extremely bad to take while pregnant or becoming pregnant.

Avatar f tn Hi! I was diagnosed with Lyme based on a positive Western Blot test and a Sunnybrook test that was indicative on the 93 band (I think that was the band) I am on Minocycline and was wondering if others out there were also on it and if it worked for them. I seem to be getting better. There are ups and downs but I am able to move much better than anytime in the past 7 and a half years. Just wondering how long one has to be on the drug and if it really makes you better.
Avatar f tn I started minocycline feb 10 and conceived my baby feb 21 but i didnt stop the medicine until march 9 ( only because i didnt know i was preg) im 7 weeks now and i just wanna know has anybody else expericed this with a positive outcome ?
Avatar n tn s ability to intake dairy may be different, whether your daughter can have only certain types of dairy or none. Hopefully this helps.
Avatar m tn Thanks in advance for your response. I'm a 19 year old male that had a potential exposure 5 months ago with a female who is known to get around. The sex was unprotected. For the last year, I've been on 100mg of minocycline per day to treat acne. I looked up that minocycline is an investigatory drug for HIV because it can potentially reduce replication and activation in latent infected HIV cells, primary CD4+ cells.
Avatar f tn the past 2 days i have eating dairy with dinner and i think this is setting it off. i feel fine all day until i eat dinner.
Avatar f tn The question I posed was should I be overly concerned about getting rectally tested for STDs if I have had only one instance of rectal exposure vs many instances of genital exposure (all with the same person, obviously). The expert in this forum told me practically, since I had been tested negative at the genital site, the risk from rectal was low since it was all with the same person.
541609 tn?1273879848 t find anything about low fat dairy being a bad idea. I have always read that its any dairy that is unpasturized. that can be harmful, because of the possible bacteria. I eat a tonne of cheese, yogurt, etc. I will tell you that when you are pregnant I don't think you need to stick to low fat (correct me if I am wrong ladies), I think the extra calories are fine. But again, I am not a Dr. I would be curious to know where you heard to stay away from low fat?
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.
10456541 tn?1427998737 Anyone else having a problem with things dairy? I drink 1% milk because I get it on wic. I LOVE milk and can drink it by glass fulls! The past couple of weeks though it has been making me very nauseous and makes my stomach hurt SO bad! I even ate some pizza the other day and the dairy from the cheese hurt my stomach. Is there any other way to get calcium?
Avatar m tn I have all of the symptoms, no money to get tested. I do have some old minocycline and tetracycline from old acne.
Avatar m tn I have acne all over the back of my head and on my back it hurts to touch in some spots and to dry my hair.
Avatar f tn I was off minocycline for five days before I started birth control,as starting will the minocycline still be in my system and effect the birth control?
Avatar n tn The cutaneous hyperpigmentation usually resolves after cessation of the drug. Tooth discoloration, however, generally remains. Pigmentation associated with minocycline most often appears in patients after long-term therapy, usually at doses greater than 100 mg per day.

Avatar m tn Over six months of treatment, about twice as many people in the placebo group developed MS, compared with those who took minocycline. In absolute numbers, 61 per cent of the 70 participants in the placebo group developed MS, compared with 33 per cent of the 72 people taking the acne drug. “(Minocycline) decreases the likelihood of getting MS in that six-month period,” said study author V. Wee Yong, who’s also a professor in the university’s Department of Clinical Neurosciences.
Avatar f tn For example, our Western diet includes many dairy sources containing hormones as well as foods with significant sugar content and other carbohydrates that promote increased production of androgens (hormones important in development of acne). Wishing You Optimal Health, Dr.
Avatar m tn ve read on here that a person taking PEP should test after 3 months of being off PEP to obtain a conclusive result. I took minocycline for 4 months after possible exposure. Then got tested 3 and a half weeks later (around 5 months). Negative result. 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?

As well.as much vertebrae damage.I have been taking minocycline orally, but can't afford I.v.therapy right now.I have been on minocycline for two years, but have also been on prednisone, I recently read prednisone will keep antibiotic from working like it should.please, if anyone has gotten any pain relief and is as damaged as I am, please let me know.
7988747 tn?1396207441 I was taking minocycline for about a month. I went to my Obgyn and found out I was 7 weeks pregnant. Could being on minocycline for a month when I was 7 weeks pregnant affected my baby?
Avatar m tn The only drugs that might have an effect are things have have a major effect on the immune system, like cancer chemotherapy or powerful immune suppressing drugs -- and even these are theoretical, with few if any actual known cases of intereference with HIV test result. Certainly a common antibiotic like minocycline has no effect at all.
