Blood Dycrasias: Agranulocytosis, leukopenia, eosinophilia, thrombocytopenia, anemia, aplastic anemia, pancytopenia.

Allergic Reactions: Fever, laryngeal edema, angioneurotic edema, asthma.

Hepatotoxicity: Jaundice, biliary stasis.

Cardiovascular Effects: Changes in the terminal portion of the electrocardiogram including QT prolongation, T wave depression and inversion, and the appearance of a wave provisionally identified as a bifid T wave or U wave have been observed in patients receiving phenothiazines including Mellaril (thioridazine hcl). To date, these appear to be due to impaired repolarization, unrelated to myocardial damage, and reversible. However, significant QT prolongation has been associated with serious ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death (see WARNINGS). Hypotension, rarely leading to cardiac arrest, has been reported.

Extrapyramidal symptoms: Akathisia, agitation, motor laos email list restlessness, dystonic reactions, trismus, torticollis, opisthotonus, oculogyric crises, tremor, muscular rigidity, akinesia.Oral antibiotics are useful in inflammatory acne, and improvement is usually seen after several weeks of use. Antibiotic monotherapy is not recommended due to the risk of development of resistant bacteria.

Women should be warned about the development of Candida albicans vaginitis. A rare complication of long-term oral antibiotic use is the development of gram-negative folliculitis. Tetracycline class antibiotics may cause sun sensitivity. Doxycycline is associated with GERD and should be taken at least 30 minutes before bedtime. Minocycline is rarely associated with a lupus-like syndrome, minocycline-induced hyperpigmentation, and pseudotumor cerebri.

Topical antibiotics are used in almost all patients treated for acne. Monotherapy should be avoided to reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance. Concurrent use of benzoyl peroxide eliminates the risk of resistance development. Topical antibiotics are available as monotherapy or in fixed-dose combination products, together with benzoyl peroxide or retinoids. Topical antibiotics used include clindamycin and erythromycin, although resistance to erythromycin favors the use of clindamycin.
