I took doxy last night and today noticed it was originally fill February 2, 2016.

I feel icky today. herx or from doxy being old.. I don't know.

Is this doxy dangerous?

My doc told me it is dangerous to take old doxy. You might consider doing a coffee enema.

call your pharmacist.

I had old norco was going to take it. called my pharm guy and he said no way. it was a year old

Do not use doxy that is over one year old. For now, call your pharmacist. Call your doctor on Monday.

It should still be ok. Generally, a pharmacy will have a use by date of 1 year from being filled to take.

It would be better to get a new script for it.

Call your pharmacy though bc what you don't know is how long they had it before your prescription was filled.

ok, will call pharmacy but hope it wouldn't make me feel worse for long... I have switched to the G-d awful clindamycin for now.

If you are on clindamycin, then be SURE to take Florastor religiously.

in particular

cephalosporins,

fluoroquinolones,

extended-coverage penicillins, and

clindamycin -

- are the most common culprits. . . .
