Prescribed Azithral And Doxycycline For Steroid Induced Acne On Face. Should I Take Azithral As It Causes Stomach Burning?
I have steroid induced acne on my face for which the doc prescribed azithral 500 mg along with doxycycline 100 mg daily. With doxycycline alone my face did not clear up after which the doc added azithral. I was wondering whether to take this azithral or not as I am apprehensive of stomach burning and other side effects. Please guide me.

Hello
Thanks for your query.You are taking Doxycyclin for Acne and your Dr has prescribed Azithral (Erythromycin ) in addition to Doxy.There are chances of getting drug induced hyperacidity.So please take some Antacids along with these drugs.so that you will not get burning in stomach.
