Description
Doxycycline Capsules 100 mg are a broad-spectrum tetracycline-class antibiotic used for the treatment of various bacterial infections. Indications include acne, respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and certain sexually transmitted infections. The drug works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby preventing bacterial growth and replication.
Administration requires swallowing the capsule with a full glass of water to minimize the risk of esophageal irritation. Patients should remain upright for at least 30 minutes after taking the dose. Absorption may be reduced when taken with antacids, iron supplements, or dairy products; such substances should be avoided within a few hours of dosing.
Common side effects include gastrointestinal upset, nausea, vomiting, and photosensitivity. Use of sunscreen and protective clothing is recommended to reduce the risk of sunburn. Severe adverse effects may include esophagitis and hypersensitivity reactions. Regular hydration is encouraged to minimize gastrointestinal discomfort.
