no need to worry ,low dose of steroids wont affect any organ,use those prescribed drugs for a period prescribed by your doctor and there is no such relation of these drugs on sperm count.

I'm wondering if doxy 1 capsules are actually effective for treating acne? I'm a bit worried because I've been taking them for 12 days now as my dermatologist prescribed, but I'm not seeing any improvement. Should I keep taking these for the full month as advised? How long does this medication typically take to show results?

I'm a bit confused about my test results. I tested negative for VDRL and RPR, but my TPHA came back positive at 1160. What does this mean for me in terms of timing or stage of syphilis? I've already taken a 2g dose of Azithromycin. Should I be concerned about needing Penicillin or Doxycycline too?

Physician opinion is advised to the patient.
