Product Description
Doxydar 100mg Capsules 8 Capsules is an oral broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic containing doxycycline hyclate, used to treat various bacterial infections. Doxycycline inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, preventing bacterial growth. It is commonly prescribed for: Respiratory tract infections (e.g., pneumonia, bronchitis, sinusitis) Skin and soft tissue infections (e.g., acne vulgaris – moderate to severe) Urinary tract infections Sexually transmitted infections (e.g., chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis) Tick-borne infections (e.g., Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever) Malaria prophylaxis (in certain regions) Other infections (e.g., anthrax exposure, periodontal disease, rosacea) The capsules are hard gelatin, easy to swallow and the 8-capsule pack is typical for short courses (e.g., 7–10 days for most infections, or longer for acne/rosacea). It should be taken with a full glass of water, preferably sitting upright, to reduce risk of esophageal irritation. Food may reduce absorption slightly, so take on an empty stomach if possible (1 hour before or 2 hours after meals). Benefits: • Broad-spectrum coverage including atypical pathogens (e.g., Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, Rickettsia) • Once- or twice-daily dosing in most cases • Effective for acne and rosacea due to anti-inflammatory properties • Well-absorbed and good tissue penetration • Convenient short pack for acute courses How to Use: • Adults & children over 8 years (>45kg): Dosage depends on infection – always follow doctor’s exact prescription (typical examples): Most infections: 100mg twice daily on day 1, then 100mg once daily Acne/rosacea: 50–100mg once or twice daily for weeks to months Malaria prophylaxis: 100mg daily starting 1–2 days before travel • Swallow whole with a full glass of water – do not lie down for 30 minutes after taking • Take with food if stomach upset occurs (but avoid dairy/calcium-rich foods near dose) • Complete the full course even if symptoms improve • Do not exceed the prescribed dosage or duration • Consult a doctor before use if pregnant (contraindicated in second/third trimester), nursing, under 8 years, have liver/kidney issues, or taking other medicines (especially antacids, iron, dairy, warfarin, oral contraceptives)
