Group Description
Doxycycline Monohydrate 100 mg is a broad-spectrum antibiotic commonly prescribed to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, preventing them from multiplying. This medication is effective against respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, skin conditions like acne, and sexually transmitted infections like chlamydia. It’s also used to treat Lyme disease, malaria prevention, and other bacterial illnesses.
Typically available in tablet or capsule form, doxycycline should be taken as prescribed by a healthcare provider. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics, even if symptoms improve, to prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Patients should avoid taking it with dairy products or antacids, as these may reduce its effectiveness. Common side effects include nausea, photosensitivity (increased sensitivity to sunlight), and gastrointestinal issues. Always consult your doctor before starting doxycycline, especially if you are pregnant or have a history of allergies.
