Ok to take antibiotic for rosacea?       09/20/08 08:23 PM Edit Reply Quote Desert Phoenix Reged: 12/17/03 Posts: 137 Hi all, I have a skin condition known as rosacea, which sometimes -- as in my case -- causes a burning sensation in the eyes. The typical treatment for this is a course of antiobiotics (doxycycline). I told my dermatologist I was hesitant to take this medication, because I was concerned that doing so would offset the progress I've made in controlling my IBS. She said that the antibiotic is designed such that it should not affect the intestinal flora. I was just curious if anyone has suggestions (affirmations/rebuttals) regarding this explanation? Thanks in advance for any comments. Chris Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
