[Duck of Death]

,,,,doxycycline should work much better for acne....... do a search and try that. Bactrim is too broad-spectrum and will wipe out a lot of beneficial bacteria in your large intestine.

Tetracycline is indicated for the treatment of acne in the PDR. Bactrim and or Septra is a combination drug of trimethoprim, a broad spectrum antibiotic and sulfamethoxazole, a sulfa type drug and is indicated for urinary tract infections, prostate infections, bronchitis, shigellosis, and pneumonia. No mention of bactrim used for acne. I have known people who used tetracycline for acne though and I don't believe it's too expensive.

P.S. Doxycycline is a member of the Tetracycline family of drugs, actually a derivative of Tectracycline and is likewise indicated for acne. Better check first with a Dermatologist, there might be something newer and better.

you should be able to get bactrim from your doctor easily . ps - i wouldnt expect much from bactrim though its not going to work if accutane didnt. id invest in a longterm high dose cycle of accutane it will work if used properly .
eg - 1mg per kg /bodyweight /6months

I was on Tetrcycline for five years, three times a day as a teenager because of the acne I had. Mind you this was fourty years ago, but it did the trick along with some different drying concoctions morning and night. In fact I can still remeber what it was called, it was Mysteclin V

MYSTECLIN V
(Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharm)

Composition:
Each capsule contains Tetracycline (buffered) 250 mg, Nystatin 250 000 units.

Actions:
Broad spectrum antibiotic. On oral administration it rapidly produces high initial blood levels and excellent diffusion to tissues and body fluids. Mysteclin-V also contains prophylactic amounts of nystatin for protection against candidal superinfection in the gastrointestinal tract. Nystatin provides specific activity against Candida albicans and is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is inactive against bacterial.

Microorganisms that have become resistant to one tetracycline exhibit cross resistance to other tetracyclines. Gram-negative bacilli that are tetracycline resistant may also show cross resistance to chloramphenicol.

Indications:
Infections caused by Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, spirochaetes, Myagawanella (large viruses of the lymphogranuloma psittacosis trachoma group), rickettsiae, and Entamoeba histolytica can be expected to respond.

Examples of infections in which Mysteclin may be used are:

Pneumococcal infections: lobar pneumonia; etc. Streptococcal infections: cellulitis, bronchopneumonia, follicular tonsillitis, meningitis, otitis media, pharyngitis, scarlet fever, septic sore throat, urinary tract infections. Staphylococcal infections: abscesses, acute bronchitis, furunculosis, impetigo, laryngotracheitis, ophthalmic infections, osteomyelitis, otitis media, pharyngitis, septicaemia, sinusitis, tonsillitis, tracheobronchitis, urinary tract infections. Neisseria infections: gonorrhoea, meningitis. Proteus infections: (due to tetracycline sensitive strains). Escherichia coli infections: abscesses, peritonitis, urinary tract infections. Shigella infections: bacillary dysentery. Haemophilus infections. Rickettsial infections: epidemic typhus, Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Intestinal amoebic infections. Acute brucellosis (in conjunction with streptomycin). Mycoplasma infections.

Because of the wide range of antimicrobial activity, Mysteclin-V is particularly useful in the treatment of mixed infections and in conditions in which the causal agent has not been specifically identified, for example pneumonia, peritonitis, chronic bronchiectasis, sinusitis, urinary tract infections, postpartum endometritis, puerperal mastitis, and pancreatitis.

Acne vulgaris. Mysteclin-V is also useful for the treatment of severe acne.

Mysteclin-V is recommended for mixed infections of the eye including conjunctivitis, corneal infections, periorbital infection, uveitis and some forms of blepharitis, and for pyogenic dermatological conditions such as secondary infected atopic dermatitis, sycosis and eczematous otitis externa. It is also useful in preoperative and postoperative prophylaxis. Strains of staphylococci, streptococci, pneumococci, E. coli, and shigellae have been reported as resistant. Laboratory studies, including sensitivity tests, should be performed.

Contra-indications:
Known history of sensitivity to any of its components. Tetracycline should not be used in patients with severe renal impairment or hepatic disease.

Warnings:
The use of tetracyclines during tooth development (last half of pregnancy, infancy and childhood to the age of 8 years) may cause permanent discolouration of the teeth (yellow-grey-brown). This effect is more common during long-term use of the drug but it has also been observed in usual short-term therapy. Enamel hyporplasia has also been reported. Tetracyclines, therefore, should not be used in this age group unless other drugs are not likely to be effective or are contra-indicated.

If renal impairment exists, normal doses may lead to excessive systemic accumulation of the drug and possible liver toxicity. Lower doses are indicated and if therapy is prolonged, tetracycline serum level determinations may be advisable. Hypersensitive individuals may develop a photodynamic reaction precipitated by exposure to direct sunlight during the use of this drug. Individuals with a history of hypersensitivity reactions should be instructed to avoid exposure to direct sunlight while under treatment with this or other tetracycline drugs, and therapy should be discontinued at first evidence of skin discomfort.

Precautions:
Prolonged use may result in overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms. Should it occur, treatment should be discontinued and/or appropriate therapy instituted. Superinfection of the bowel by staphylococci may be life-threatening. Tetracycline may form a stable calcium complex in any bone forming tissue with no serious harmful effects reported thus far in humans.

During long term therapy periodic assessment of organ system function, including renal, hepatic and haematopoietic systems, should be made. Anaemia, thrombocytopenic purpura, neutropenia and eosinophilia have been reported. Tetracyclines may delay blood coagulation. Hepatic cholestasis has been reported rarely, and is usually associated with high dosage levels of tetracycline.

Increased intracranial pressure with bulging fontanelles has been observed in infants taking therapeutic doses of tetracycline. Occurrence has been rare and all signs and symptoms disappeared rapidly upon cessation of therapy. Since sensitivity reactions are more likely to occur in persons with a history of allergy, asthma, hay fever or urticaria, the preparation should be used with caution in such individuals. Cross sensitisation among the various tetracyclines occurs.

In the treatment of gonorrhoea, patients with a suspected lesion of syphilis should have dark field examinations before receiving the capsules and monthly serological tests for a minimum of three months. The use of this product in staphylococcal infections does not preclude the need for indicated surgical procedures.

Use in Pregnancy:
Category D. During the period of mineralisaton of a child's teeth (the second and third trimester of pregnancy, the neonatal period and the first 8 years of life), tetracyclines may induce hypoplasia of the enamel and discolouration of the teeth. Tetracyclines also accumulate in the growing skeleton. These products should be avoided during the second and third trimester of pregnancy. (see Warnings)

Australian categorisation definition of:

Category D:
Drugs which have caused, are suspected to have caused or may be expected to cause, an increased incidence of human foetal malformations or irreversible damage. These drugs may also have adverse pharmacological effects. Accompanying text above should be consulted for further details.

Adverse Reactions:
Gastrointestinal irritation (anorexia, epigastric distress, nausea, vomiting) as well as bulky loose stools, and diarrhoea may occur, also glossitis, stomatitis, enterocolitis, proctitis, and pruritus ani. Black hairy tongue, sore throat, dysphagia and hoarseness have also been reported. Tetracyclines may also cause maculopapular and erythematous skin rashes. A rare case of exfoliative dermatitis has been reported. Onycholysis and discolouration of the nails have been reported rarely.

Rise in BUN has been reported and is apparently dose related. Urinary loss of nitrogen has been observed in some patients receiving tetracyclines and may result in negative nitrogen balance. Increased excretion of sodium has been reported. The development of peptic ulcers and bleeding has been observed in uraemic patients receiving tetracyclines. Hypersensitivity reactions may include urticaria, serum sickness like reactions (fever, rash, arthralgia), angioneurotic oedema, and anaphylactoid shock. If allergic reactions occur, tetracycline therapy should be discontinued.

The use of tetracycline during the mineralisation phase of tooth development may cause discolouration of the teeth (yellow grey brownish) which may sometimes be accompanied by enamel hypoplasia.

Drug Interactions:
Absorption of tetracyclines is decreased by milk antacids and by calcium, iron and magnesium salts.

Dosage and Administration:

Adults: 250 mg four times daily or 500 mg twice daily. 500 mg four times daily, may be required for severe infections.

Children: Over 8 Years 20 to 40 mg tetracycline per kg of bodyweight each day, in divided doses, depending on the type and severity of the infection. (See Precautions).

Treatment should continue for 24 to 48 hours after symptoms and fever subside. However, if used for streptococcal infections, therapy should continue for a full 10 days to guard against the risk of rheumatic fever or glomerulonephritis. Higher dosage and even more prolonged therapy would be necessary for subacute bacterial endocarditis and may be required in certain staphylococcal infections.

For the treatment of severe acne dosage should begin with 250 mg four times a day initially, and then be reduced to 250 mg twice daily.

Oral forms of tetracycline should be given 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals.

Pack:
Capsules, 250 mg/250 000 units (brown/pink, marked SQUIBB): 25's, 50's, 150's, 750's.

All States and A.C.T.-S. 4.
