A Daily Pill to Prevent #STI? It May Work, Scientists Say.
A common #antibiotic, #doxycycline, greatly reduced cases of #syphilis, #gonorrhea and #chlamydia when taken every day.
Their study was small and must be confirmed by more research. Scientists still have to resolve significant questions, including whether #STD might become resistant to the antibiotic and what effect it could have on healthy gut bacteria in people taking it every day.

A single dose of #doxycycline, a widely used #antibiotic, taken after #sex halved the incidence of #chlamydia and early #syphilis among gay and bisexual men and transgender women in San Francisco, city health officials announced on Monday. The findings offered a glimmer of hope amid a rising tide of #STD/#STI nationwide.
New cases fell by half in just over a year, San Francisco health officials reported. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/04/health/doxycycline-syphilis-chlamydia.html

Today’s #MedicineMonday is brought to you by amoxicillin-clavulanic acid. I’m both grateful we got some (baby has an ear infection) but also have been up since 4:30am due to its side effects 😅

This medication has two components:
💊 #Amoxicillin: β-lactam #antibiotic (interferes with bacterial cell walls by inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis)
💊Potassium #clavulanate: β-lactamase inhibitor (prevents breakdown of amoxicillin, so it can stick around and do its job longer, and you need less of it!)
