Doxycycline Mono 100 mg capsules contain doxycycline hyclate, a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic. This medication fights bacterial infections by stopping bacterial protein synthesis, thus preventing their growth and reproduction.
Common Uses
Doctors prescribe Doxycycline Mono 100 mg for a variety of bacterial infections, including acne, pneumonia, Lyme disease, and sexually transmitted infections like chlamydia and gonorrhea. It’s also used to prevent malaria.
Important Considerations
Before taking Doxycycline Mono 100 mg, inform your doctor about any allergies, current medications (including supplements), and medical conditions, particularly pregnancy or breastfeeding. Avoid sun exposure, as it may increase the risk of sunburn. This antibiotic may also cause stomach upset; taking it with food can help mitigate this. Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment. Complete the entire course of medication, even if you feel better, to prevent recurrence of the infection. Do not take this medication if you’re allergic to tetracyclines. Consult a healthcare professional immediately if you experience severe side effects.
