Dorrx Acne Pills
August 21, 2007
Doryx acne pills are antibiotics that treat not only acne but other infections as well. In fact, doryx is used as a preventative for malaria. Doryx acne pills are part of the tetracycline family and must be prescribed. Doryx works by stopping bacteria growth or killing the bacteria that’s already present. In its prevention of malaria it blocks parasites. Doryx doesn’t work against viruses.
While Doryx treatment against infection is generally 200 mg a day, it can combat your acne with a dose as mild as 50 daily milligrams. You must take at least eight ounces of milk or water with your Doryx acne pills and ideally you should stand or walk for at least 30 minutes after your swallow the capsule. Sitting is acceptable too. What you don’t want to do is lie down immediately after because the Doryx can irritate your esophagus. Never chew your Doryx acne pills. The best time to take them is in the morning but always right before, during or after a meal. Doryx on an empty stomach can be a painful experience.
If Doryx is prescribed for acne you’ll probably be taking it for as many as twelve weeks. With an infection the higher Doryx dose is generally only consumed for one or two weeks.
There are some reasons why you wouldn’t want to treat your acne with Doryx pills. If you are allergic to doxycycline or any tetracycline you won’t be able to take Doryx. If you weren’t aware of an allergy but start feeling short of breath while taking it, or start wheezing or having trouble breathing, it may be an allergy. Stop taking it and call your doctor. Other allergy symptoms are swelling of parts of your body. Most commonly the swelling occurs on your face in such areas as the lips and tongue. You might get a rash or hives and your skin might itch.
If you are already taking any prescription or preparation that contains Vitamin A or etretinate or isotretinoin you should not take Doryx acne pills. You must absolutely avoid Doryx if you are 18 or more weeks into your pregnancy or if you are breastfeeding. Tetracycline can cause loss of enamel in a baby’s teeth as well as yellowing. It can also cause undue pressure on the infant’s brain. If the dose is high and you’re pregnant your liver could be adversely affected.
Be aware as well, that taking antacids, bismuth sales and iron within two hours of ingesting Doryx acne pills can interfere with your body’s ability to absorb the Doryx.
