Good morning. Because I have uterine fibroid, I got exacyl on an ad hoc basis at cyclonamine during my period. I currently have purulent angina and take doxycycline 2 times a day. Can I take exacyli cyclonamine during antibiotic therapy. Will the antibiotic increase menstrual bleeding?

There are no contraindications to the use of bleeding reducing drugs Exacyl and Cyclonamine during antibiotic treatment with Doxycyclinum. The use of Exacyl and Cyclonamine should be strictly prescribed by your doctor. Cyclonamine may cause a slight reduction in the effect of Exacyl.
Doxycyclinum may cause bleeding due to anaemia due to m.in breakdown of red blood cells, effects on platelets. A decrease in the number of platelets in the blood can increase the severity of menstrual bleeding. This does not mean that every patient will develop such disorders.

If you suspect that increased menstrual bleeding may be due to the use of an antibiotic, I encourage you to consult your doctor. You can also take advantage of a teleconsultation via e.g. the Gdziepolek.pl portal:

I also encourage you to report the side effects of Doxycyclinum. Reporting side effects allows you to increase control over the medicines available on the market. We wrote more about how and why to report side effects in the article:
