What is Doxycyl?

Doxycyl is a tetracycline antibiotic that fights bacteria in the body.

Doxycyl is used to treat many different bacterial infections, such as acne, urinary tract infections, intestinal infections, eye infections, gonorrhea, chlamydia, periodontitis (gum disease), and others.

Doxycyl is also used to treat blemishes, bumps, and acne-like lesions caused by rosacea. Doxycyl will not treat facial redness caused by rosacea.

Some forms of Doxycyl are used to prevent malaria, to treat anthrax, or to treat infections caused by mites, ticks, or lice.

Doxycyl may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Doxycyl indications

An indication is a term used for the list of condition or symptom or illness for which the medicine is prescribed or used by the patient. For example, acetaminophen or paracetamol is used for fever by the patient, or the doctor prescribes it for a headache or body pains. Now fever, headache and body pains are the indications of paracetamol. A patient should be aware of the indications of medications used for common conditions because they can be taken over the counter in the pharmacy meaning without prescription by the Physician.

Uncomplicated urethral, endocervical, or rectal infection caused by Chlamydia trachomatis: 100 mg by mouth twice a day for 7 days. As an alternate dosing regimen for uncomplicated urethral or endocervical infection caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, administer 200 mg by mouth once-a-day for 7 days.

Uncomplicated gonococcal infections in adults (except anorectal infections in men): 100 mg, by mouth, twice-a-day for 7 days. As an alternate single visit dose, administer 300 mg stat followed in one hour by a second 300 mg dose.

Nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) caused by U. urealyticum: 100 mg by mouth twice-aday for 7 days.

Syphilis – early: Patients who are allergic to penicillin should be treated with Doxycyl 100 mg by mouth twice-a-day for 2 weeks.

Syphilis of more than one year's duration: Patients who are allergic to penicillin should be treated with Doxycyl 100 mg by mouth twice-a-day for 4 weeks.

Acute epididymo-orchitis caused by C. trachomatis: 100 mg, by mouth, twice-a-day for at least 10 days.

For Prophylaxis Of Malaria

For adults, the recommended dose is 100 mg daily. For children over 8 years of age, the recommended dose is 2 mg/kg given once daily up to the adult dose. Prophylaxis should begin 1 or 2 days before travel to the malarious area. Prophylaxis should be continued daily during travel in the malarious area and for 4 weeks after the traveler leaves the malarious area.

Inhalational Anthrax (post-exposure)

Adults: 100 mg, of Doxycyl, by mouth, twice-a-day for 60 days. Children: weighing less than 45 kg, 2.2 mg/kg of body weight, by mouth, twice-a-day for 60 days. Children weighing 45 kg or more should receive the adult dose.

Sprinkling The Tablet Over Applesauce

Doxycyl Delayed-Release Tablets may also be administered by carefully breaking up the tablet and sprinkling the tablet contents (delayed-release pellets) on a spoonful of applesauce. The delayed-release pellets must not be crushed or damaged when breaking up the tablet. Any loss of pellets in the transfer would prevent using the dose. The applesauce/Doxycyl Delayed-Release Tablets mixture should be swallowed immediately without chewing and may be followed by a glass of water if desired. The applesauce should not be hot, and it should be soft enough to be swallowed without chewing. In the event that a prepared dose of applesauce/Doxycyl Delayed-Release Tablets cannot be taken immediately, the mixture should be discarded and not stored for later use.

Medications containing metal ions (antacids, products containing iron, magnesium, calcium) form inactive chelates with Doxycyl, in connection with what it is necessary to avoid their simultaneous use.

It needed to avoid combination with penicillins, cephalosporins, bactericidal action and is an antagonist of bacteriostatic antibiotics (including Doxycyl).

Absorption of Doxycyl is reduced by cholestyramine and colestipol (observe the interval between the reception of at least 3 h).

Due to suppression of intestinal microflora Doxycyl reduces prothrombin index which requires dose adjustment of indirect anticoagulants.

Alti-Doxycyl reduces the reliability of contraception and increases the frequency of breakthrough bleeding while taking estrogen-containing oral contraceptives.

Simultaneous administration of Alti-Doxycyl with:

  • barbiturates, carbamazepine, phenytoin concentrations of Doxycyl in plasma decreases due to the induction of liver enzymes, which may be responsible for the decrease of its antibacterial action.
  • retinol improves intracranial pressure.

    Clinical Trial Experience

    The safety and efficacy of Doxycyl Delayed-Release Tablets, 200 mg as a single daily dose was evaluated in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled study. Doxycyl Delayed-Release Tablets 200 mg was given orally once-a-day for 7 days and compared to Doxycyl capsules 100 mg given orally twice daily for 7 days for the treatment of men and women with uncomplicated urogenital C. trachomatis infection.

    Adverse events in the Safety Population were reported by 99 (40.2%) subjects in the Doxycyl Delayed-Release Tablets, 200 mg treatment group and 132 (53.2%) subjects in the doxycyclinehyclate capsules reference treatment group. Most AEs were mild in intensity. The most commonly reported adverse events in both treatment groups were nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and bacterial vaginitis, Table 1.

    Doxycyl Delayed-Release Tablets, 200 mg

    N = 246

    Preferred Term n (%)
    Subjects with any AE 99 (40.2)
    Nausea 33 (13.4)

    Diarrhea 8 (3.3)
    Abdominal Pain Upper 5 (2.0)
    Vaginitis Bacterial 8 (3.3)
    Vulvovaginal Mycotic Infection 5 (2.0)

    Because clinical trials are conducted under prescribed conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trial may not always reflect the rates observed in practice.

    Postmarketing Experience

    The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of Doxycyl. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate a causal relationship to drug exposure.

    Due to oral Doxycyl's virtually complete absorption, side effects to the lower bowel, particularly diarrhea, have been infrequent. The following adverse reactions have been observed in patients receiving tetracyclines:

    Gastrointestinal: Anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, glossitis, dysphagia, enterocolitis, and inflammatory lesions (with monilial overgrowth) in the anogenital region. Hepatotoxicity has been reported. These reactions have been caused by both the oral and parenteral administration of tetracyclines. Esophagitis and esophageal ulcerations have been reported in patients receiving capsule and tablet forms of drugs in the tetracycline-class. Most of these patients took medications immediately before going to bed.

    Skin: Maculopapular and erythematous rashes, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, exfoliative dermatitis, and erythema multiforme have been reported. Photosensitivity is discussed above.

    Renal: Rise in BUN has been reported and is apparently dose-related.

    Hypersensitivity reactions: Urticaria, angioneurotic edema, anaphylaxis, anaphylactoid purpura, serum sickness, pericarditis, and exacerbation of systemic lupus erythematosus.

    Blood: Hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and eosinophilia have been reported.

    Intracranial Hypertension: Intracranial hypertension (IH, pseudotumor cerebri) has been associated with the use of tetracycline

    Thyroid Gland Changes: When given over prolonged periods, tetracyclines have been reported to produce brown-black microscopic discoloration of thyroid glands. No abnormalities of thyroid function are known to occur.

    You should not take this medicine if you are allergic to Doxycyl or to other tetracycline antibiotics such as demeclocycline (Declomycin), minocycline (Dynacin, Minocin, Solodyn, Vectrin), or tetracycline (Brodspec, Panmycin, Sumycin, Tetracap).

    Before taking Doxycyl, tell your doctor if you have liver disease, kidney disease, asthma, or if you are allergic to sulfites.

    Drink plenty of liquids while you are taking Doxycyl.

    Children should not use Doxycyl. Doxycyl can cause permanent yellowing or graying of the teeth in children younger than 8 years old.

    Take this medication for the full prescribed length of time. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. Skipping doses may also increase your risk of further infection that is resistant to antibiotics.
