Description

What is doxycycline used for?

Doxycycline is a commonly utilized antibiotic for the prevention of malaria, enhancement of tooth attachment, reduction of gum pockets in individuals undergoing scaling and root planing for periodontitis, and treatment of infections caused by specific bacteria.

  • Tick-borne illnesses, like Rickettsial diseases
  • Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
  • Respiratory infections, such as bronchitis, pneumonia, or sinusitis
  • Eye infections, such as trachoma or inclusion conjunctivitis
  • Severe cases of acne
  • Plague infection
  • Cholera infection
  • Anthrax infection
  • Zoonotic infections
  • Infections resistant to penicillin
  • Parasitic infections

Doxycycline may not be appropriate for some of the infections listed above, depending on which germs are causing the infection. Bacteria in some locations may have developed resistance to doxycycline, which will make it less effective.

Doxycycline may also be used for other conditions as determined by your healthcare provider.

How does doxycycline work (mechanism of action)?

Doxycycline eradicates specific bacteria strains by inhibiting their protein synthesis. It also demonstrates efficacy against the malaria-causing parasite, although the precise mode of action remains unclear. Additionally, Doxycycline may aid in averting the deterioration of gum tissue.

How is doxycycline supplied (dosage forms)?

Doxycycline can be found under the brand names Acticlate, Doryx, Doryx MPC, Monodox, Vibramycin, as well as generic doxycycline, in various oral dosage forms.

What should I know about doxycycline before using it?

Refrain from using doxycycline unless specifically prescribed by a healthcare professional. Adhere to the prescribed dosage.

In case you are in an area where malaria is prevalent, you may need to continue taking the medication for an extended period after leaving the region.

It is crucial not to chew or crush delayed-release doxycycline tablets (Doryx, Doryx MPC). Instead, these tablets can be carefully broken and sprinkled over a cold spoonful of applesauce, which should be swallowed immediately without chewing.

Similarly, do not break, open, crush, dissolve, or chew doxycycline capsules (Acticlate).

Ensure to take doxycycline with plenty of fluid to prevent throat irritation. Drinking sufficient fluids while taking the medication can help reduce this risk.

When using doxycycline suspension, remember to shake the bottle well before each use and use a precise measuring device to measure your dose accurately. Avoid using a household spoon as it may lead to an incorrect dosage. Consult your pharmacist for a suitable measuring device recommendation.
