Refer to UK Pharmacology for UK Regulations for Good Clinical Practice.ContraindicationsHypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of its excipients due to certain rare hereditary neurological conditions. Diabetes.Doxycycline is a type of antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It can be used to treat acne and other bacterial skin conditions, including rosacea, and treat other types of acne.
Doxycycline is prescribed to reduce inflammation, and to treat rosacea, and other inflammatory skin conditions.
Doxycycline is available in tablet form. You should use it exactly as your doctor prescribes for the treatment of your infection. You can take doxycycline with or without food. However, if it is taken with food or milk, your body may decrease the effectiveness of doxycycline.
You should swallow doxycycline with a glass of water. Do not break, crush or chew it.
The recommended dose is one 50 mg capsule, taken three times a day. It is important not to take doxycycline more than once daily.
To prevent developing drug resistance, you should avoid taking doxycycline with food or milk. Doxycycline can cause diarrhea.
You should continue taking doxycycline for the full prescribed length of time before you stop taking your medication. Stopping the medication too soon may cause the bacteria to develop resistance to doxycycline.
If you have been prescribed doxycycline and are still taking it, speak to your doctor. You may be asked to stop taking doxycycline and see a doctor for further instructions.
You should not stop taking doxycycline without consulting your doctor, even if you feel better. Stopping doxycycline prematurely may lead to the growth of resistance bacteria, which can survive for a longer time in the body, and may even allow doxycycline to become less effective.
If you become resistant to doxycycline, you may need to stop doxycycline.
In case of an overdose, contact a poison control center or emergency department immediately. Symptoms of overdose may include:
If you notice any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
These are not all the possible side effects of doxycycline.
You can report side effects to the FDA at:
or by calling 1-800-FDA-1088.
Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor or as instructed by the manufacturer. This medication may not work as well if you take it with food.
Do not drink alcohol while taking this medication.
Talk to your doctor about the use of doxycycline in children, adolescents, and adults with the condition.
Before using doxycycline, it's important to tell your doctor if you have or have had:
Take this medication with a full glass of water. Follow the directions on the medication label.
Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure your infection is not getting worse.
Take this medication with food or milk to prevent stomach upset. If stomach upset occurs, you may take doxycycline with milk to help you swallow your pills.
This medication should not be used in children under the age of 12. This medication may harm the developing baby or cause low blood sugar or a rare condition called hypoglycemia, especially if the medication is taken for more than 7 days or if the baby is sick. Talk to your doctor about the use of doxycycline in your child.
If you are also taking the antibiotic metronidazole, take it with food to prevent stomach upset. It may affect the effectiveness of doxycycline.
This medication may not work as well if you take it with milk.
Malaria is a serious tropical disease spread by mosquitoes. If it isn’t diagnosed and treated promptly, it can be fatal.
A single mosquito bite is all it takes for someone to become infected.
Symptoms of malaria
It’s important to be aware of the symptoms of malaria if you’re travelling to areas where there’s a high risk of the disease. Symptoms include:
a high temperature (fever) sweats and chills headaches vomiting muscle pains diarrhoea Symptoms usually appear between 7 and 18 days after becoming infected, but in some cases the symptoms may not appear for up to a year, or occasionally even longer.
When to seek medical attention
Seek medical help immediately if you develop symptoms of malaria during or after a visit to an area where the disease is found.
Malaria risk areas
Malaria is found in more than 100 countries, mainly in tropical regions of the world, including:
large areas of Africa and Asia Central and South America Haiti and the Dominican Republic parts of the Middle East some Pacific islands
Thehas more information about the risk of malaria in specific countries.
Preventing malaria
Many cases of malaria can be avoided. An easy way to remember is the ABCD approach to prevention:
Awareness of risk – find out whether you’re at risk of getting malaria before travelling Bite prevention – avoid mosquito bites by using insect repellent, covering your arms and legs, and using an insecticide-treated mosquito net Check whether you need to take malaria prevention tablets – if you do, make sure you take the right antimalarial tablets at the right dose, and finish the course Diagnosis – seek immediate medical advice if you develop malaria symptoms, as long as up to a year after you return from travelling
Side effects
Like all medicines, doxycycline can cause side effects, although not everyone gets them.
Common side effects These common side effects happen in around 1 in 10 people. Keep taking the medicine, but talk to your doctor or pharmacist if these side effects bother you or don’t go away:
a headache feeling sick or vomiting being sensitive to sunlight Serious side effects Serious side effects are rare and happen in less than 1 in 1,000 people.
Call a doctor straight away if you get:
Bruising or bleeding you can’t explain (including nosebleeds), a sore throat, a high temperature (38C or above) and you feel tired or generally unwell – these can be signs of blood problems.
Severe diarrhoea (perhaps with stomach cramps) that contains blood or mucus, or lasts longer than 4 days ringing or buzzing in your ears
Serious skin reactions or rashes, including irregular, round red patches, peeling, blisters, skin ulcers, or swelling of the skin that looks like burns – these could be signs of a rare reaction to the medicine called Stevens-Johnson Syndrome
Yellow skin or the whites of your eyes go yellow – this could be a sign of liver problems joint or muscle pain that has started since you began taking doxycycline
Headache, vomiting and problems with your vision – these could be signs of pressure around your brain (intracranial hypertension)
A fingernail coming away from its base – this could be a reaction to sunlight called photo-onycholysis
A sore or swollen mouth, lips or tongue
Severe pain in your tummy, with or without bloody diarrhoea, feeling sick and being sick – these can be signs of pancreatitis difficulty or pain when you swallow, a sore throat, acid reflux, a smaller appetite or chest pain which gets worse when you eat – these could be signs of an inflamed food pipe (oesophagitis) or oesophageal ulcer
Serious allergic reactions
Allergic reactions to doxycycline are common and occur in more than 1 in 100 people.
These are not all the side effects of doxycycline.
You can report any suspected side effect to the UK.
The choice between between doxycycline and other treatments is made with a view to knowing which one’s better (or more).
The present review aims to summarise the recent developments on the development of the Doxycycline monohydrate-polyacrylonitrile (DPMi) platform, as well as to discuss the challenges and future prospects of the new method. We will also consider the implications for future research and the application of this novel approach in a broader range of biomedical and health sciences.
Doxycycline monohydrate
A critical step in the development of the Doxycycline monohydrate-polyacrylonitrile (DPMi) platform is the synthesis of a stable and reproducible derivative of the antibioticDoxycycline hyclate. This derivative is of interest for the treatment of various bacterial infections and can be a good source of valuable drug candidates for both human and veterinary medicine. The synthesis of the derivative is based on the observation that the antibioticis poorly soluble in water and hence, the formation of a stable and reproducible derivative is not feasible. The synthesis of the derivative can be carried out in aqueous media and should be done under a controlled laboratory conditions.
The development of the Doxycycline Monohydrate-Polyacrylonitrile (DPMi) platform is driven by the need to have a robust and reproducible derivative of the antibioticThe development of the DPMi platform is a critical step in the development of the Doxycycline monohydrate-polyacrylonitrile (DPMi) platform.
