  1. 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.

    问:最近炒作的 #支原体肺炎 到底应该怎么办?吃阿奇并没有感觉很好。去查体,是 #腺病毒 感染。会不会又是ccp的套路?
    答:对于确诊的 #支原体 #肺炎 的一线抗生素是 #多西环素 ,也称 #强力霉素 #Doxycycline 。这是我最近一段时间,只要是来咨询的,确诊是支原体感染

  7. @arstechnica #Folliculitis is the one I sometimes deal with. I use to get rid of it really quickly with #Doxycycline, but its useless now. My new line of defense is #cephalexin, but its getting a fight, I have to take it for longer periods. When you live in densely populated areas, touching door knobs, elevator buttons, you are bound to catch it. Washing your hands, sanitizing and avoid touching your face is the best you can do, but thats super hard.

  8. Not a disease I really know anything about, but it is the first time I've ever seen #IV use of either #doxycycline or #azithromycin! #scrubtyphus #IDMastodon #MedMastodon #antibiotics #intravenous
