Sulfamethoxazole And Doxycycline Together

my doctor put me on a combination of sulfamethoxazole and doxycycline after they lanced an infected oil gland on my back. the sulfa was first 4 days and I was ok. then they lanced it again and added doxy. I got a really bad sore throat and cold that they said was coincidence! and I would get really nauseous for a few hours after taking the meds. That nausea seemed to get worse each time. I could not go to work today so called dr. to see if I could take the pills once a day at night? get sick at night and still work? or what suggestions and a nurse called me back and said, "just stop taking them," this, after they gave me the warning in the office, 'make sure you finishe the whole course.' I'm confused. I don't want to do more harm later if I stop these now. Called pharmacy and he said, 'usually we suggest people continue them but it's the doctor's call' which only left me more concerned. If I continue once/per day when I can tolerate it, would it still be effective?

Yes, they will normally tell you to make sure you finish your entire course of an antibiotic to make sure an infection is cleared up, unless you are having a bad reaction to them, then it may be necessary to tell a patient to stop taking them.

How is the infection doing? While an antibiotic is usually advisable, it may not be needed, if the infection is clearing up.

In this case, you should really follow your doctor's advice and instructions.

Another question is, how where you taking the medications? Were you taking them on a empty stomach? If so, that can cause a lot of nausea and some people have to take them with a small snack or meal.

Have you contacted your doctor about your concerns?

This contains the active ingredient Nitrofurantoin, which is an antibiotic.

The current warnings about renal function are actually not conclusive and, if you do have a severe infection, not taking the antibiotic to treat it could be much worse than the possible dangers of using it.
