Doxycap is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the tetracycline class. It contains Doxycycline, a highly effective agent that inhibits the growth of various types of bacteria. It is one of the most versatile antibiotics, known for its ability to penetrate deep into tissues and its effectiveness against a wide range of infections.
Doxycap is primarily indicated for the treatment of bacterial and parasitic infections. It is used for:
Respiratory Tract Infections: Such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and sinusitis.
Severe Acne: Often used for long-term management of inflammatory acne and rosacea.
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): Effective against chlamydia, syphilis, and gonorrhea (often as part of a combination therapy).
Malaria Prevention & Treatment: Used by travelers to prevent malaria in areas where other drugs may not work.
Infections from Animals/Insects: Treats conditions like Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and typhus.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Specifically those caused by susceptible strains of bacteria.
For General Infections: Usually 100mg twice daily on the first day, followed by 100mg once or twice daily thereafter.
For Severe Acne: Often 50mg to 100mg daily for a period determined by a dermatologist.
For Malaria Prevention: 100mg once daily, starting 1–2 days before travel and continuing for 4 weeks after leaving the area.
Note: Always complete the full course prescribed by our pharmacist or your doctor, even if you feel better before the medicine is finished.
To ensure the medication is effective and to avoid throat irritation:
Stay Upright: Do not lie down for at least 30 minutes after taking a capsule. This prevents the medicine from irritating your esophagus (throat).
Take with a Full Glass of Water: Proper hydration helps the capsule reach the stomach quickly.
With or Without Food: Doxycap can be taken with food if it upsets your stomach, but avoid taking it at the same time as dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt).
Avoid Antacids: Do not take iron supplements, multivitamins, calcium supplements, or antacids within 2 hours of taking Doxycap, as they can prevent the antibiotic from being absorbed.
Indicated For: Adults and children over 8 years of age (depending on weight and condition).
Precautions: Doxycycline can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight (photosensitivity). Use sunscreen and wear protective clothing while outdoors.
Contraindications:
Not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding as it can affect fetal bone development and permanently stain the teeth of a developing baby.
Generally not used in children under 8 years old for the same reason.
Q: Can I drink milk with Doxycap?
A: It is best to avoid dairy for 2 hours before and after taking your dose. Calcium binds to the medicine and prevents your body from absorbing it properly.
Q: How long does it take to clear acne?
A: For skin conditions, it usually takes 4 to 6 weeks to see a noticeable improvement, though a full course may last several months.
Q: What should I do if I get a stomach ache?
A: Try taking the capsule with a light, non-dairy meal. If you develop severe diarrhea or a skin rash, stop use and contact our pharmacist immediately.
