Doxycycl Hycl Cap 100mg Side Effects

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.

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 started taking this because of cellulitis. I have completed a full day of medication. I have a low grade fever and slight body aches. Is that normal? ## Hello, Sarah! How are you? Yes, the infection will typically still be affecting you, after such a short period of time, as well as the side effects from the antibiotic. The general rule, if the antibiotic is working, is that you shouldn't see any worsening of your condition after a full 24 hours of taking it and then you should start to see improvement after 3 full days. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

Am taking Diovan, Clonidine, amlodipine, atenolol, ramipril, for hypertension . atorvastatin for chlolesterol. advair, albuterol for asthma, and fortical nasal spray for osteoporosis, ## Hello, Joan! How are you? It would be much more common for anxiety to be caused by the Albuterol, it tends to have a stimulating effect that can do that. How long have you been using it? ## My GOD that's a lot! I will say I was on Clonidine and almost checked myself into a mental institution. Every day I'd ask myself if I could make it one more day. Could I endure another panic attack and a day of crippling anxiety? I went through a month taper but have never been t...

Can this be used to clear an infection post circumcision on a 10 year old boy? He doesn't have any drug allergies that I know of. ## At such a young age, I strongly urge you to take him to a doctor and let them prescribe an appropriate medication, if an infection is present. It's far too risk to try to diagnose the issue yourself and treat it with something that wasn't prescribed for him. The FDA classifies this medication as an antibiotic and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

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&...

Is there any difference between this and Amoxicillin for my dog? ## Although both medications have similar indications with regards to the variety of infections they treat, they are still two different types of antibiotics with different chemical structures, side effects, dosages, potency, absorption rates, etc; which all play a significant role in how well your dog may react and respond to each medication. So to answer your question, I wouldn't consider them equal for canines or humans. Doxycycline is in a class of medications called tetracycline antibiotics. Amoxicillin is in a class of medications called penicillin-like antibiotics. You can learn more about these drugs on the page for Doxycycline Details and Amoxicillin Details I hope this info helps!

I notices I am get extremly fatigued after taking Doxycycl Hycl Cap 100mg for acne. Is this normal? ## Hi Mary, Interestingly enough, "extreme tiredness or weakness" is in-fact listed as a severe side effect of Doxycycline. In such cases, it is recommended that you contact your doctor immediately to help address this issue. Referenced from: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0000563/#a682063-sideEffects Have you considered trying any other natural alternatives that might be just as effective as Doxycycline, but without the side effects? If not, I'd recommend looking into Oregano Essential Oil. It's a cheap, yet, effective method for infections of any kind. I hope this helps!
