Doxycycline Hyclate Doxyn 100mg 100 Tabs is an antibiotic used for treating bacterial infections.The drug is also sold under the brand names Oracea, Doryx, Monodox, Periostat, and Vibramycin.
Doxycycline is in a class of medications called tetracyclines, and it's a broad-spectrum antibiotic, which means it works against a wide range of bacteria.
Doctors prescribe doxycycline to prevent malaria and treat a wide range of infections, including:Pneumonia and other respiratory tract infectionsLyme diseaseSkin infectionsInfections involving the genitals and urinary tract infections (UTI)Anthrax (after inhalational exposure)Doxycycline works by preventing the growth and spread of bacteria.
Like all antibiotics, doxycycline will not treat colds, the flu, or other infections caused by viruses or fungi.
A 2014 study found that a low dose of 40 milligrams (mg) of slow-release doxycycline daily could be an effective and safe therapy for ocular rosacea, or rosacea that affects the eyes.The drug company Pfizer developed doxycycline in the early 1960s, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the drug in 1967 under the brand name Vibramycin.In 1994 the FDA also approved the drug to prevent malaria.
Doxycycline for AcneFor many years, doctors have prescribed doxycycline to treat acne.It's sometimes used as an alternative to another acne drug with more side effects, minocycline. 
However, a study published in 2015 found that people with acne who used an antibiotic-free facial gel had greatly improved acne, according to MedPage Today.
The study suggests that using the facial gel containing adapalene/benzoyl peroxide might be a better alternative than using antibiotics such as doxycycline for acne.
Doxycycline WarningsThere are several important warnings you should know about before taking doxycycline.You should take this medication only to treat bacterial infections, and it's important to take it exactly as your doctor prescribes.Using doxycycline or other antibiotics incorrectly or using them to treat infections caused by other types of germs, such as viruses, contributes to the development of drug-resistant bacteria.Every time you take an antibiotic, it kills the sensitive bacteria. Resistant germs, however, can grow and multiply, and then surviving bacteria can become resistant.It's also important to understand that taking antibiotics, including doxycycline, alters the normal balance of bacteria in your body.In addition to killing harmful bacteria, the medication can also reduce the amount of good bacteria that help keep other germs in check.As a result, some people taking doxycycline develop yeast infections and antibiotic-related diarrhea.Taking doxycycline could make oral birth control pills less effective. If you are on oral contraceptives, you should use other forms of birth control while you take this antibiotic.
Before taking doxycycline, let your doctor know if you're going to have any kind of surgery, including dental surgery.Your doctor also needs to know if you've ever had liver or kidney disease.Also tell your doctor if you have diabetes. Taking doxycycline can interfere with tests for sugar in the urine.Talk with your doctor before changing your diet or your diabetes treatment plan.
Pregnancy and DoxycyclinePregnant women should not take doxycycline because the drug can be harmful to an unborn baby.Tetracyclines, including doxycycline, also pass into breast milk, so women who are breastfeeding should not take this drug.If you're a woman, let your doctor know if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding.It's also important to note that unborn babies exposed to doxycycline or children younger than 8 years old who take the drug may have permanently stained teeth.Children younger than 8 should not take doxycycline except as treatment for inhalational anthrax or if a doctor decides it's necessary.
Doxycycline for Dogs and CatsDoxycycline is often used to treat bacterial infections in dogs, cats, and other animals. Doxycycline may be prescribed to treat several bacterial infections, such as leptospirosis, urinary tract infections (UTI), toxoplasmosis, erlichiosis, or mycoplasma. It's also used to treat tick-borne diseases, including Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Because doxycycline can cause severe side effects in dogs and cats (such as nausea and diarrhea), it should be used only under the care and direction of a veterinarian.
