Doxycap 100mg is a prescription-strength, broad-spectrum tetracycline-class antibiotic. Each capsule contains 100mg of Doxycycline (as Doxycycline Hyclate).
It is prescribed for adults and adolescents to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections and inflammatory conditions, including:
Respiratory Tract Infections (such as community-acquired pneumonia and bronchitis)
Urinary Tract and Genital Infections (such as chlamydia and urethritis)
Skin Infections and Severe Acne Vulgaris / Rosacea
Tick-Borne Diseases (such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever)
Malaria Prophylaxis (prevention when traveling to endemic regions)
Doxycycline is a bacteriostatic antibiotic that halts bacterial growth:
Protein Synthesis Inhibition: It reversibly binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit of susceptible Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, preventing aminoacyl-tRNA from binding and stopping essential bacterial protein synthesis.
Anti-inflammatory Properties: In lower doses or specific dermatological uses, it also reduces inflammation associated with skin conditions like acne and rosacea.
Sunlight Sensitivity: Doxycycline can make your skin significantly more sensitive to sunlight and UV rays. Avoid prolonged sun exposure, tanning beds, and wear protective clothing and sunscreen to prevent severe sunburns or rashes.
Swallowing Caution: Doxycycline capsules can cause esophageal irritation or ulcers if they linger in the throat. Always swallow capsules whole with a full glass of water while sitting or standing upright, and do not lie down for at least 30 minutes after taking your dose.
Tooth Discoloration: Use during tooth development (in children under 8 years of age, pregnant women, or nursing mothers) can cause permanent discoloration of teeth (yellow-grey-brown) and enamel hypoplasia.
Standard Adult Dosing:
Usual Infection Dose: 200mg on the first day (given as 100mg every 12 hours), followed by a maintenance dose of 100mg once daily.
Severe Infections / Acne: 100mg twice daily as directed by your physician.
How to Take:
Swallow the capsules whole with a large glass of water.
Take with food or milk if it causes stomach upset, unless instructed otherwise by your doctor.
Common side effects may include:
Mild nausea, vomiting, or upset stomach.
Mild diarrhea or loose stools.
Photosensitivity (sun sensitivity).
Vaginal yeast infections or oral thrush with prolonged use.
Store at room temperature below 25°C or 30°C in a tightly closed container, away from heat, moisture, and direct light.
Keep strictly out of reach of children.
No. Antacids containing aluminum, calcium, or magnesium, as well as iron supplements and dairy products, bind to doxycycline in the gut and severely reduce its absorption. Take Doxycap at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking these products.
Yes. Doxycycline is commonly prescribed as a daily preventative medication for travelers visiting regions with malaria. Treatment typically begins 1 to 2 days before travel, continues throughout the stay, and for 4 weeks after leaving the endemic area.
