Doxycycline is an antibiotic medication used for treating infections like intestinal infections, eye infections, gonorrhea, Chlamydia and urinary tract infections. It may also be used for other conditions as deemed necessary.
How does it work?
Doxycycline slows down the growth of the bacteria in the body. This allows the immune system to eliminate the bacteria completely from the system.
Taking Doxycycline & the right dosage
Doxycycline may be taken with or without a meal.
The extended release pill should not be crushed or chewed. It must be swallowed whole.
Antacids, iron supplements, multivitamins must be avoided for at least 2 hours before and after using Doxycycline.
Doxycycline must be consumed for the complete prescribed time duration. You may notice that your symptoms may improve before the prescribed duration is over or the infection is cleared. But do not alter the dose or the schedule without consulting your doctor.
Storage
Store Doxycycline in a cool and dark place at room temperature. Do not store it in a place where it can get exposed to direct sunlight or moisture.
Keep it away from children and pets.
