Doxycycline Hyclate for Sinus Infection?
A relative of mine has some left over doxcycline hyclate for acne. I
think I might have a sinus infection, but I have not been to the doctor.
Would it be safe for me to take the doxycycline hyclate or should I see
my doctor and get his opinion/prescription?
You should never take a friend or relatives prescription medication and you should never take medication that hasn't been prescribed to you. This is why we have anti-biotic resistant viruses and things because people take the wrong anti-biotics for the wrong problems. Because you said leftove I imagine it's just a few pills. When you take anti-biotics but don't complete the dose and don't kill the bacteria they become immune.
Also there's a good chance your sinus infection is a fungal or viral infection in which case antibiotics won't do anything anyway and you don't know that Doxycline Hyclate is even the right anti-biotic to treat what you have. Try some natural remedies, give it time, or go see a doctor and get your own prescription.
