Description
Doxycycline 100 mg capsules are a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections. This medication is part of the tetracycline class of antibiotics and works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit, preventing the attachment of aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosome, which ultimately halts bacterial growth.
The mechanism of action involves the disruption of bacterial protein production, leading to the inhibition of cell growth and replication. This makes doxycycline useful for treating infections such as respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, acne, Lyme disease, and certain sexually transmitted infections like chlamydia.
Common side effects include gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Other side effects may include photosensitivity, esophageal irritation, and allergic reactions. Prolonged use can lead to antibiotic resistance, and therefore, it should be prescribed for specific bacterial infections only.
