What is Solodyn

MinocyclineThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryMinocycline is a type of antibiotic that was introduced in 1966. It is more effective than other similar antibiotics due to modifications to certain parts of the drug. Minocycline is able to fight both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It was approved by the FDA in 1971.

Effectiveness

How Solodyn Affects PatientsMinocycline is an antibiotic that stops bacteria from making proteins. It is usually taken two to four times a day, so it only works for a short amount of time. The maximum daily dose should not be more than 400mg. Possible side effects include problems with tooth and bone development, inflammation of the colon, issues with the central nervous system, and increased pressure in the brain.
How Solodyn works in the bodyTetracyclines work by blocking bacteria from making proteins. They enter bacterial cells through tiny openings. Once inside, they stop amino acid molecules from attaching to the cell's ribosome, which is responsible for protein production. This prevents the bacteria from being able to replicate and spread.

When to interrupt dosage

The measure of Solodyn is reliant upon the diagnosed infection, for example, Periodontitis, Rickettsialpox and Lymphogranuloma Venereum. The amount of dosage is dependent on the mode of delivery (e.g. Capsule, extended release or Tablet, film coated, extended release) specified in the table below.

Solodyn for Acne
Solodyn was great at clearing up my acne. However, I had a severe allergic reaction to it after only one week of use. Now I'm on the hunt for something that works just as well but won't make me break out in hives.

Solodyn for Acne
My doctor gave me a sample of Soladyn, which seemed to be working. However, when I tried to fill the prescription, I found out that my insurance wouldn't cover it and it would be $1,200 per month out of pocket. So unless there's a generic available soon, don't bother trying this medication.

Dental Care for Pneumonia Prevention

60 - 100
All Sexes
Jefferson City, MO
The goal of this study is to learn if dental infection control treatment delivered to older adult nursing home residents at their place of residence will result in : * improved dental health * reduced risk of pneumonia * better glucose control for diabetic patients compared to the pre-project dental and general health evaluations of residents and the pre-project facility incidence of pneumonia. Dental infection control treatment includes treating gum infections, stopping or slowing decay with fluoride, and assisting residents with effective tooth brushing and denture cleaning daily. Previous studies indicate dental infections can be inhaled and cause pneumonia or make diabetes worse. A shortage of dentists has limited care for nursing home residents. This project will allow dental hygienists and specially trained dental assistants to treat nursing home residents using telehealth methods (computers, cameras, internet, and telephone) to talk and work with dentists in different locations.

Antibiotics for Gum Disease

18+
All Sexes
Birmingham, AL
Periodontitis is a bacterial inflammatory disease and antibiotic use is being empirically used as part of its treatment. However, a clinical practice guideline on periodontal treatment adjuncts published in 2015 identified weak evidence on the use of systemic antibiotics and large heterogeneity across small scale studies, suggesting that larger pragmatic clinical trials would benefit clinical decision making. This will be a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, stratified by practice and practitioner. The study will investigate the effectiveness of adjunctive antibiotics as adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) compared to SRP with placebo for the treatment of generalized stage II-III, grades A-C periodontitis in patient participants from National Dental PBRN practices. Periodontal data will be collected at baseline, re-evaluation (6 weeks), and final (4-12 months) study visits. Changes in periodontal clinical and patient-reported outcomes will be assessed to determine the effectiveness of SRP plus adjunctive systemic Amoxicillin / Metronidazole antibiotics (AMXM) versus SRP with Placebo.
