Add a probiotic dear patient.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query dear patient.
I have gone through your details and i appreciate your concerns.
As per your query answers are-
One of the most common side effect of therapy with Doxycyclin is that it causes mild diarrhoea.
This class of antibiotics have a direct effect on good flora(bacterias) in our gut and destroys them hence digestion of food is affected causing loose or unformed stools.
I would suggest you to take a good quality probiotic twice daily with doxycyclin therapy.
Probiotics help to replenish the gut flora hence help body in proper digestion and absorption of food.
However you can shift to optimal doses of chloroquine for malaria prophylaxis if the problem continues even after taking probiotics.
Hope I was helpful.
Follow up question are most welcome.
Thanks!
