Hello lybrate-user, most doctors give doxy to prevent any secondary bacteria infections.
Given your age and assuming that you must not be having any comorbid conditions. Doxy for 5 days it is very highly unlikely that you are at risk of developing black fungus.
Maintain proper hygiene, and have a balanced nutrition. Take care.

No. However you should avoid antibiotics as much as possible during pregnancy. Also you should take antibiotics like cephalosporins which are safe in pregnancy.

Hello, i'm 26 unmarried virgin girl. 2 years back I had laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis chocolate cyst 9 cm. And i'm suffering from endometriosis. After surgery I took digest 2 mg twice a day for 6 months, but while taking this tablet I suffered a lot with stomach pain, spotting, break through bleeding and vomiting. So doctor suggested ethinyl estradiol (0.02 mg)+desogestrel. (0.15 mg) ocp back to back for 63 days once per day. After 63rd day I stopped this tablet, so that my periods came. From 3rd day again I started tablet for 63 days. Like this for 6 months. Then my doctor told me to take this tablet for 42 days back to back. Till may 2021 I took this tablet like this. But on may month I suffered with severe bleeding while taking that ocp tablet. To stop bleeding I took norethisterone 5 mg. My question is shall I take norethisterone 5 mg once a day continuously for 42 days cycle for 2 years? (like ocp). And what are the side effects on this tablet? Is there any serious side effects on this tablet? Note: don't suggest ocp combination pill again, bcoz it is not suitable for me.

Dear lybrate-user,
you are an unmarried young girl. It is not advisable for you to take norethisterone tablets for long periods like 2 years. But there are long acting injectables like lupron depot of various strengths. You could take it under the supervision of a gynecologist to alleviate your severe symptoms. Wish you symptom free future years.

Hello.
doxy is ok for trt of syphilis, if allergic to penicillin. Azithromycin is not recommended (cdc, atlanta). Duration of doxy is 2 wks for early syphilis. I would not recommend taking azithromycin. However, please see that penicillin g remains the choice of trt if one is not allergic to pen. The duration of trt depends upon the stage of syphilis.
As you say you have no symptoms you may have latent syphilis if you had syphilis in the past or the test may be false pos. Please ask your...more

Hello. Doxy is an antibiotic that should be taken under Doctor's supervision only. So please consult your dermatologist regarding duration of use and other related information.
