🚨 DOH: ‘WAG GUMAMIT NG DOXYCYCLINE NANG WALANG RESETA🚨

Ang doxycycline ay isang antibiotic na ginagamit laban sa Leptospirosis.

Kapag mali ang pag-inom, pwedeng mawalan ito ng bisa laban sa mga mikrobyo at maging mas mahirap gamutin ang simpleng impeksyon. Pwede itong humantong sa matagal o mas matinding pagkakasakit.

Nakadepende ang pag-inom ng doxycycline sa exposure o risk level ng taong nalubog sa baha.

Payo ng DOH, magpatingin sa doktor para sa tamang reseta sa paggamit ng antibiotic na ito.

Muli pong pinapaalalahan ang lahat na panatilihing protektado ang katawan laban sa mga water-borne diseases na dulot ng matinding pagbaha.

LEPTOSPIROSIS RISK RISES AS FLOODS PERSIST

With floods becoming more common amid nonstop rains, a MakatiMed nephrologist is urging the public to be proactive against leptospirosis—a serious bacterial infection that can damage the kidneys.

Dr. Eladio Miguel Peñaranda Jr. explains that those who wade through floodwater, especially with open wounds or repeated exposure, should consult a doctor about taking doxycycline as preventive treatment.

“Kailangan nito ng reseta kaya wag mag-atubili na humingi ng advice sa doctor,” he said in a recent DZRH interview.
