Its used to treat or prevent malaria, called Doxycycline.

You must NOT take doxycycline with dairy products! It reduces absorption and effectiveness!
Sun sensitivity is also another side effect of doxycycline.
Also, it's probably a good idea to take acidophilus, to compensate for the loss of the "good" bacteria you use when you're on an antibiotic.
They also reduce the effectiveness of birth control.
Don't take iron supplements, multivitamins, calcium supplements, antacids, or laxatives within 2 hours of taking doxycycline. These products may decrease the effectiveness of doxycycline too.
Other common side effects are: nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.

Depends on which antibiotic, but typically you can have diarrhea, fatigue, dizziness and you burn more in the sun than normal. You should check with a pharmacist or doctor about the side effects of your particular meds.

Depends which antibiotic, there are lots of different side effects that are possible. need to know which medication you are on to tell you. different classes of anti biotic have dif. side effects. i would say the most common as far as all anti biotics woud be GI problems, mostly diarrhea. doxycycline can cause nausea, vomting, diarrhea, feeling sick to your stomach, most common, hives and itching are less common and if there are symptoms of wheezing or swelling inthe neck you could be allergic.

They can generally cause a bunch of side effects, with stomach irritation being the most common (especially if it's a eurythromiacin derivative) and diarrhea. They can also seriously affect your ability to get barely passing grades at USC.

Depends on the individual antibiotic. This is all included in the literature that your pharmacist gave you WITH the antibiotic. Included in most are: headache, nausea, diarrhea, and yeast infections.

How long have you ever been on the pill? as long as its regulated on your physique i might say one week. not all anitbiotics result the pill yet its continuously ideal to play it secure. some people have faith it thoroughly wears the end results of delivery administration yet in fact it truthfully relies upon. some in simple terms "cut back" the possibility of your pills working. yet anywho, when you quit your antibiotics don't have intercourse or confirm you utilize a condom superb for one week.

yea, did your pharmacist not give you a drug facts sheet attached to your package? If not, call the number listed on your bottle and ask for it. If you don't have that, call a local pharmacist and they will tell you the possible side effects. If you feel like your having problems, you might try calling nurse hotline.
