Everything You Know About Doxycycline

Precautions

You've already got your guard up, right? Men, this antibiotic needs precautions! It's not good when you're allergic to others in the same class. Not good at all. Men, certain health conditions mean you can't take it too! Kidney disease, asthma, and liver disease are 3 huge examples this. 3 huge ones! This med's also not good when you're allergic to sulfites. Go over all of your medical history details with your doc! They've got your back in this fight.

Men, you'll want to drink a bit of milk or eat some food when this med triggers an upset stomach. But hold your horses, talk to your doc first! Some brands need you to have an empty stomach. When you're taking one of those, do it an hour before you eat! Wait for 2 hours after eating to do it when you prefer. And men? Don't crush the delayed-release tablets. Only break regular pills open to mix with applesauce! Remember to wear sunscreen all the time, men. This antibiotic makes you more likely to burn under the sun! And don't take it once it expires. That's how you get kidney damage. You will!
