She recently competed course of doxycycline. Therefore, the doxy didn't work. No surprise to me since I find it usually doesn't. All cultures negative before Doxycycline. I have been treating with three antibiotics for 2 weeks (Doxycycline, Flagyl, Augmentin) post D&C and having all patients clear the endometritis but this is a complicated, irritating (gastritis and diarrhea), and difficult to remember combination. There has to be a better way. Anyone have a favorite gorillacillin for this particular problem?>> Might try azithromycin or clarithromycin... and metronidazole is probably not the culprit in your regimen, so you could combine that. (Doxycycline is pretty hard on the stomach and AugmentinŽ is a good one for diarrhea.) Joe P.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education.
