Doxycycline Prescription
Doxycycline is a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic prescribed against a wide variety of bacterial infections,
including:
- Urinary tract infections;
- Trachoma;
- Some gonococcal infections in adults;
- Rocky Mountain spotted fever and other fevers caused by ticks fleas and lice;
It is an approved treatment for inhalational anthrax. Doxycycline is also prescribed with other drugs to treat severe acne and
amoebic dysentery.
Doxycycline may also be taken for the prevention of malaria on foreign trips of less than 4 months' duration.
Occasionally doctors prescribe doxycycline to treat early Lyme disease and to prevent "traveler's diarrhea." These are
not yet officially approved uses for Doxycycline hyclate.
Doxycycline contains the active ingredient doxycycline, which belongs to a group of antibiotics called
the tetracyclines. It is an antibiotic that has the ability to inhibit the growth of a wide variety of bacteria and certain
other organisms. It works by preventing bacteria from producing proteins that are essential to them. Without these proteins
the bacteria cannot grow, replicate and increase in numbers. Doxycycline therefore stops the spread of the infection and the
remaining bacteria eventually die.
Doxycycline is prescribed to treat a wide variety of respiratory, urinary tract, eye and sexually transmitted infections,
and various other infections caused by susceptible bacteria and micro-organisms.
Doxycycline is also prescribed for severe acne, as it is active against the bacteria associated with acne, Propionebacterium acnes.
This is a common type of bacteria that feeds on sebum produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin. It produces waste products
and fatty acids that irritate the sebaceous glands, making them inflamed and causing spots. By controlling bacterial numbers,
doxycycline brings the inflammation of the sebaceous glands under control, and the skin is allowed to heal.
Doxycycline is also active against the parasite that causes malaria. It is sometimes prescribed to treat malaria, and can
also be prescribed to prevent it when visiting high-risk malarial areas, in particular areas where the malaria parasite is
resistant to chloroquine.
