Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Are The Side Effects Of Taking Apple Cider Vinegar While On Doxycycline And Benzoate?
Son is taking Doxcycline HYC tab 100MG(antibiotic) and Benzotate Cap 200 mg. His foot is swelled up to below the knee. I think he might have gout. I was wanting him to try Apple Cider Vinegar 2 tspns and 1/2 tspn baking soda. Wondering what side affects it will have on his prescriptions? Son is 36 yrs old. Had swelling before and was given water pill to eliminate excessive fluid. Husband had swollen knee and pain and this home remedy worked within 3 days on him.
Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The home remedy you are suggesting to use on your son, will not affect the medicines he is recommended to use by his doctor. Though, from what you are describing, I don't think that the home remedy will work on him. He looks like has a completely different problem from your husband. If it worked on your husband, does not mean that it will work on your son too. The combination of Apple Cider Vinegar 2 tsps and 1/2 tsp baking soda, may also cause stomach problems if it is swallowed or skin problems if it is applied for long period in the skin.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Klarida Papaqako
