Doxycycline

Doxycycline is one of a group of medicines called tetracycline antibiotics, used to treat bacterial infections such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea and Syphilis.

Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea and Syphilis are sexually transmitted diseases caused by bacteria. Doxycycline works by killing the bacteria, as it contains tetracycline antibiotics.

Despite the fact that sexually transmitted infections like Chlamydia can often have no symptoms, it’s important to be checked and treated quickly. When left untreated, the infection can spread and cause further inflammation, and sometimes can even lead to infertility.

Treating the infection with Doxycycline is quick and simple and prevents the infection from being spread to more people.

Doxycycline is a prescription-only medication. Always follow the advice of your doctor and read the patient information leaflet provided in the medication packet.

The tablets should be swallowed whole with a drink of water, with or without food, and it’s best to take them at the same time each day (to help you remember).

Doxycycline contains the active ingredient of doxycycline hyclate, in doses of 100mg per tablet/capsule. Your doctor will know which dose is suitable for the condition you are trying to treat, as the antibiotic can be used to treat a number of ailments (besides just sexually transmitted infections).

When treating sexually transmitted infections, the dose is 100mg twice daily for 7-10 days. When treating anything else, the dose can vary so be sure to consult your doctor.

If you forget to take your Doxycycline tablet then you should take it as soon as you remember. However, if it’s nearly time for your next one then do not double up to make up for the forgotten dose. Just continue with the normal amount as prescribed.

If you take more Doxycycline than you should, then you should contact a doctor or pharmacist immediately.
