Question about Aoxa

Question about Aoxa

Is Adoxa safe for a 15 year old who has acne? Also, he loves milk and I know you are not supposed to drink it with milk.Any way around that? Thanks.

Hi,

Doxycycline is usually avoided in children less that 8 years of age. Since your son is older than that, this may be prescribed based on the condition and doctor's prescription.

Doxycycline may not be administered with Milk, but that may not mean that it is not prescribed at all. Staggered administration is the best way out of this, ie, to give the medication and milk at different times.

Hope this helped. Let us know if you may need any more information.

Regards.
