Hello, John! How are you?

The general rule for antibiotics is that if they are working, you shouldn't see any worsening after taking them for a full 24 hours and you should start to see improvement after taking them for a full 3 days.

The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.

Has there been any change, yet?

Finishing 3rd day, decent improvement. 4 days left, hopefully it will work

John, Good to hear just be sure to complete the full 7 day course so the specific organisms are completely eradicated. Regards, Ken

I'm on day 4 of doxycycline and have seen minimal improvement in my condition. Doesn't hurt when urinating but still have trouble going in the morning. Any thoughts? I thought by now the doxycycline would have cleared up the issue.
