Doxycycl Hycl Cap 100mg Is Used For What Conditions?

I am the care giver for my wife and she has been diagnosed with staff infection, 3 small open sores on her butt. (by a PA filling in for our family doctor). The PA prescribed DOXY- CYCL HYCL 100MG TAB. After reading all the side affects that were listed on the info sheet that came with the prescription and information at this web site I decided not to give her this medicine till we have talked to our Doctor. We think her condition is pressure sores or bed sores. Our Doctor will be back next week (9 days from now). The PA also prescribed a pain pill for the discomfort. Do you think it is best and wait to see our Dr. that we have been seeing for 28 years?

Hello, Jar! How are you?

The FDA classifies this as an antibiotic, it can is typically used to treat or prevent infections and prevention might be why the PA prescribed it for her.

Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Not giving it to her creates the risk of her developing an infection in the open sores, or an existing one getting worse.

Did you speak to the PA about your concerns?
