Experiences with

Oxytetracycline

I visited my GP surgery today and saw a locum about Rosacea expecting to be switched from a wrongly prescribed Rozex Gel and he prescribed oxytetracycline. Looking at my bloods he announced that I should take Ferrous Fumarate because of the anaemia.

I’ve been prescribed these for my acne. Has anyone tried them?

Since giving birth I have now been put on a antibiotic called oxytetracycline, can anyone shine a light on how effective this treatment is please? I have been suffering with these cysts, which were first told to me as bartholin cysts 🙄 for 10 years. I’m at the end of my tether!

Since then I ended up with another infection (I’d only finished a two week course of oxytetracycline less than 2 weeks before this). Went back today as I’d just finished a week long course of doxycycline and wasn’t sure if I was better or not. The G.P.

I was given oxytetracycline. it worked great 1 wk after taking them the itching/prickly feeling nearly stopped then after 3 wks face was clearing but still had lots of acne scars. so stopped the meds as told by gp. 3 wks later all symptoms have come back (spots, itchy,prickly,pins and needles....). it

. - I have had many episodes and have rescue medicine at home the usual for me is Prednisolone and Oxytetracycline. This time for the first time I noticed 'Blood in Phlegm' yesterday it seems merged, tonight just a slight streak, but being it was not merged - there was no doubt it was blood.

On the last occasion on visiting my GP he noticed I had a butterfly rash he asked me how long I had it but I just thought it was roseacia as I had been told by another GP thats what I had and he treated me with oxytetracycline for eighteen months .

Hi All when I last posted I had a pain in the ribs,it turned out to be Pneumonia and 5 days in hospital,I now have continual oxytetracycline twice a day which left me free of chest infections for 5 months(brilliant) but still last month one crept in so went onto amoxycillin and pred for a week and what

So back on the oxytetracycline 2 tablets 4 times a day. doing my penultimate spit pot last thing this evening and then one tomorrow afternoon. so will delay starting the antibiotics until Wed morning.

Anyway was put on two week course of Oxytetracycline two tabs 4 times a day and, if colour of sputum is anything to go by then the infection is starting to clear up. Peak flow gone up a little and goes up to my usual after taking all my inhalers so still taking them twice a day.

No 1 choice would be oxytetracycline. There appears to be, to me, slightly confusing information available about the potential effect of this antibiotic in those with Lupus. Some places I read that there are case reports (but no proven assocation) of it provoking drug-induced Lupus.

The Small bowel bacterial overgrowth had been treated in some with specific antibiotics for 7-10 days, oxytetracycline, augmentin, ciprofloxacin or rifaxamin. No good evidence for probiotics.

Always starts with amoxicillan, then flucloxacillan, coamoxiclav and then oxytetracycline. then back to the beginning. Does anyone know of anything else that might help me?

I have been a asthmatic with chronic bronchitis since the age of 5 and am now 54.For the past couple of months my peak flow has dropped considerably and i struggle to keep it between 150/200 even after nebulising ventolin it seems to make little difference,i have had doxycycline,oxytetracycline co amoxiclav
