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.

It says two times a day. Is that no less than 12 hours close, or can it be 11 or 10 to switch the time of day around some. It is hard to stay up until 1 am. Have about 7 1/2 more days to take this. Enlarged red vein is what is is given for. June 13, 2014 ## Hello, Louise! How are you? To properly eradicate the bacteria, the level needs to remain fairly constant in your body for the duration of the time you're being treated with it. And hour or 2 isn't going to make a huge difference, but you should try to keep them as close to 12 hours apart as you can. Side effects to this antibiotic may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

I was given this drug for severe bronchitis and it has left me so tired. Will it help if I keep taking it? ## It sounds like the Doxycycline is really working hard on your system for you to be so tired. I felt a similar tiredness while taking a different antibiotic, so it's definitely not uncommon to feel that way. If you're already a few days into taking it then I would suggest continuing the treatment your doctor recommended until you're finished with the prescription. This will ensure that the bacteria doesn't end up building a resistance to antibiotics. How long have you been taking it for?

It's a big tourquoise capsule and I have problems with swallowing capsules. Is it safe to open the capsule and stir it in apple juice? Will it upset my stomach or should I be fine? ## Hello, Muneca!

After the first dose of doxy-cycl hycl 100mg I have had heart burn ever since I'm on day 3 of a 30 day course. Will this go away or will I have heart burn the whole time? ## Hi JoAnn, Are you taking this medication with any food or on an empty stomach? Although heart burn is not listed as a side effect of Doxycycline, I have come across a number of other posts in which patients mentioned having severe heart burn and have had to call their doctor or go to the emergency room. They also noted that having the pill with food could help relieve some of the symptoms associated with heart burn. There's really no way to tell how long symptoms will last, since everyone reacts to these drugs differently. If it persists though, you may have to consider stopping the medication and opt for a ...

I have rosacea have prescription for Metronidazol .75%cream anddoxy-cycl hyc for treating the rosacea. I'm being cautious. is this a good combination? ## Hi riley, It's always good to be overly cautious when it comes down to combining certain medications. Fortunately, based on my research there are no drug interactions found between metronidazole and doxycycline; effectively deeming them as safe to take together. For additional verification, you can always run a google search for drug interaction checkers to compare two or more medications. I hope this helps to answer your question! ## I didn't find any interactions listed between these two medications, but you should always double check such information to be careful.

How are you? No, the FDA classifies this medication as an antibiotic and it will only treat bacterial infections. It will do nothing to help with hair loss. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Additionally, improper use creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria, which could be dangerous in the future. What type of doctor did you consult?

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?

The cost of doxy-cycl hycl 100 mg capsules more than doubled recently. Is there some kind of rebate or a substitute drug? $100.00 for a 30 day supply is a tremendous burden for an elderly person on medicare who is required to take this drug. ## That is the generic, so it must be just a pricing change at your pharmacy. Learn more Doxycycline details here. In many cases they have contract periods to get them cheaper, then once the contract runs out, they have to pay more, which means the price also goes up for you. What are you taking it to treat? Have you asked your doctor? They'd be the best person to talk about using an alternative cheaper medication.

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?

I am taking DOXY-CYCL HYCL along with 10mg of Amlodipine. Now my legs are swollen. I'm not sure if it's the antibiotics or the blood pressure pills. Am I supposed to take both pills at the same time? Also I've been on the Amlodipine for 2 months and 4 days of the 7 day antibiotic. ## Hello, TC! How are you? I didn't find any interactions or problems listed between these two medications in the Medscape database. However, it's always best to double check this information to be sure. If I had to make a guess, I'd say it is most likely the Amlodipine, it is known to sometimes cause edema in some people that take it, as listed in the side effects according to the FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache and hypotension. The antibiotic may cause side ef...
