User Reviews for doxycycline oral

The first time I took this for a sinus infection, it seemed to work. I'm on it again 2 months later for the same thing and it seems less effective. It feels like the infection is back and I haven't finished the 10 days of treatment. One thing that hasn't changed is the nausea associated with taking it on an empty stomach, it's pretty bad, but goes aways once you eat.

I have been using the medication for a week and have seen no results. Around my mouth area looks worse than ever. I eat a small snack before taking medication. Should I give the medication more time to work?? And, how long does the medication usually takes to work??

Doxycycline helped me when I had lyme disease because I haven't had any joint pain, donut rings on my arms, or any other symptoms I had during lyme disease. The only turn-off about the drug is I vomited after every time I took it because I didn't have a full stomach. I even ate oatmeal and other filling things and I still vomited. It might just be my stomach, but otherwise it helped me tremendously. I only had to use this pill for one month.

I am still taking the medication for bronchitis. According to the prescription, I will be taking it for three more days. I have found that I have had to take this medication with food in order to avoid stomach upset. Yet, I have still had stomach upset and have contiplated discontinuing the medication. However, I eventually concluded that-for me-the benefits have outweighed the stomach upset. As a female, I have eaten yogurt when taking this medication in an effort to prevent a vaginal yeast infection. Also, I have learned that I need to drink more than 8 oz. of fluid when I take this medication. If I do not, I become miserable nauseated.Read More Read Less

My wife and I took this medicine for 16days before we stopped (with Dr's permission) because of upset stomach. It affected my taste buds after 5 days and I still have difficulty enjoying food. My wife did not lose her taste. Anyone else have this taste bud experience?

I have stomache problems to begin with (GERD) and this medicine did nothing to relieve my sinus infection; brought my period on early and increased my already prominant stomache irritaion.

I have recovered from my Bronchitis however I have had severe stomach problems since taking the medication.

Medication has been effective, I have been using it for one month. Much less acne on my face and my skin is much smoother and clearer, however I do suffer from scarring I wish I was able to get rid of.

this drug has made me very sick, if I were a doctor I would not prescribe this junk to my worst enemy. I'd rather suffer from pneumonia than the side effects of Doxycycline, I've had extreem stomach pain, vomiting and sleeplessness from the side effects from this junk, wish I had asked for the more expensive Zitromax that has worked great for this condition in the past with no side effects.

this med has been perscribed by my dermatologist for rosacea after tetrocycline, minocycline were tried. The results have been the same--the postules still occur and have never disappeared for any length of time. Is there no cure, temporary or permanent, for this problem? I have been treated for over 7 years--is it time for a change in dermatologists???

I have been takin this medication for about a month -- how long should i continue takin it?

A long standing Acne-Rosa cea condition has been significantly improved after a 30 day treatment with Doxycycline.

Didn't seem to have quick results but it worked. Was on it for 7 days. Did get nausea within 30 mins and was sensitive to sunlight.

Works great. Did not make me sick the first 2wks, but now i have to eat before I take it or it causes me to have upset stomach, but I still take it..
