Doxy Cycl Hycl 100mg Tab

I am afraid to take the DOXY-CYCL HYCL 100mg tabs becaus eof the side effects. Yet I have been told I have cellucitis on my lower right leg. I have also been given CEPHALEXIN 500mg CAP LUP Are there any alternatives??? ## The first thing you need to understand is that cellulitis can be a very dangerous infection. In cases where people left it untreated, they have lost limbs or had to have large sections of flesh and muscle tissue removed that resulted in permanent scarring and disfigurement. There have even been cases where it turned fatal, because the infection became systemic. So, the point I'm trying to make is that the risks are far, far greater if you don't take the antibiotics and let the infection continue out of control. And as to their being alternatives, no there aren&...

Need picture to identify tab from capsule ## Hello, Lynda! How are you? What are the markings on the one in question? Since this is a generic, it is manufactured by many different companies, so I can't possibly list the descriptions and markings for all of them. However, if you can post back with the markings, I can check for you.

After having a toe nail removed, and the nail matrix killed I was prescribed DOXY-CYCL HYCL 100MG TAB. It has caused fevers, vomiting, tingling in my feet and a sunburn. The doctor said to finish the seven day course? What a freak, this is horrible, I want to flush this torture in a prescription bottle. What can I request as a replacement antibiotic? ## Those are definitely not normal side effects, but rather they are considered severe ones that can be dangerous and no, you shouldn't continue to take this antibiotic. Learn more Doxycycline details here. It's hard to suggest a replacement, without knowing yoru medical history. What other antibiotics have you used in the past, that you didn't have a bad reaction to? ## I think it really depends on whether or not you have a fun...

I have been taking digoxin since January '14. Now I have a skin infection and have been prescribed Doxycycl Hycl 100mg tabs and have heard that there may be a negative interaction. ## Hello, Fastjack! How are you? Yes, that is correct. The Doxycycline can cause an increase in Digoxin levels, which has the potential to be dangerous. In this case, It would most likely be best to speak to your doctor about taking a different antibiotic. Antibiotic side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am the care giver for my wife and she has been diagnosed with staff infection, 3 small open sores on her butt. (by a PA filling in for our family doctor). The PA prescribed DOXY- CYCL HYCL 100MG TAB. After reading all the side affects that were listed on the info sheet that came with the prescription and information at this web site I decided not to give her this medicine till we have talked to our Doctor. We think her condition is pressure sores or bed sores. Our Doctor will be back next week (9 days from now). The PA also prescribed a pain pill for the discomfort. Do you think it is best and wait to see our Dr. that we have been seeing for 28 years? ## Hello, Jar! How are you? The FDA classifies this as an antibiotic, it can is typically used to treat or prevent infections and preve...
