It is very important to know about what medicine is given by the doctor, for what condition, and when it needs to be taken in what dose. This information given by the doctor is called Prescription. The patients should be familiar with the medicine prescription, and the details about the medicine before purchasing it and using it. Some medications need not be prescribed by healthcare practitioners and can be purchased and used without prescription by the patients; these are called over-the-counter medications. Read the drug prescription information of Dohixat before taking it.
What is Dohixat
Treating acne. Dohixat is a kit containing a tetracycline antibiotic and a cleanser. The antibiotic works by slowing the growth of bacteria, which helps the body's immune system to kill the bacteria. The cleanser helps to keep the skin clean. Using both together helps to reduce acne.
Important safety information:
The cleanser is for external use only. Do not get it in your eyes, nose, or mouth. If you get it in your eyes, rinse at once with cool water.
Dohixat only works against bacteria; it does not treat viral infections (eg, the common cold).
Be sure to use Dohixat for the full course of treatment. If you do not, the medicine may not clear up your infection completely. The bacteria could also become less sensitive to this or other medicines. This could make the infection harder to treat in the future.
Long-term or repeated use of Dohixat may cause a second infection. Tell your doctor if signs of a second infection occur. Your medicine may need to be changed to treat this.
Do not receive a live vaccine (eg, typhoid) while you are taking Dohixat. Talk with your doctor before you receive any vaccine.
Hormonal birth control (eg, birth control pills) may not work as well while you are using Dohixat. To prevent pregnancy, use an extra form of birth control (eg, condoms).
Dohixat may cause you to become sunburned more easily. Avoid the sun, sunlamps, or tanning booths until you know how you react to Dohixat. Use a sunscreen or wear protective clothing if you must be outside for more than a short time.
Mild diarrhea is common with antibiotic use. However, a more serious form of diarrhea (pseudomembranous colitis) may rarely occur. This may develop while you use the antibiotic or within several months after you stop using it. Contact your doctor right away if stomach pain or cramps, severe diarrhea, or bloody stools occur. Do not treat diarrhea without first checking with your doctor.
Do NOT take more than the recommended dose or use for longer than prescribed without checking with your doctor.
Talk with your doctor before you use any other medicines or cleansers on your skin.
Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Dohixat before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.
Dohixat may interfere with certain lab tests. Be sure your doctor and lab personnel know you are taking Dohixat.
Lab tests, including liver function, kidney function, and complete blood cell counts, may be performed while you use Dohixat. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
Dohixat should not be used in CHILDREN younger than 8 years old; permanent yellow-gray-brown tooth discoloration may occur.
