Doxycycline is a tetracycline antibiotic which fights bacteria in your body. Doxycycline
is used to treat many different bacterial infections, such as urinary tract infections, acne, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, periodontitis (gum disease), Lyme disease; infections of
skin, genital, and others.

It should be taken with a full glass of water to prevent irritation
of the esophagus or stomach. Doxycycline may be taken with food or milk or on an empty stomach. Do not take iron supplements, multivitamins, calcium supplements,
antacids, or laxatives within 2 hours of taking doxycycline. These products may reduce the effectiveness of doxycycline. Take all of the doxycycline that has been prescribed
for you even if you begin to feel better. Your symptoms may start to improve before the infection is completely treated. It is important to take doxycycline regularly to get the
most benefit.

Side Effects include nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, swollen or dark coloured tongue vaginal or oral yeast infection. The more severe side
effects which warrant immediate medical attention are allergic reaction (swelling of the lips, face, or tongue, difficulty breathing); severe headache; vision changes;
confusion; Also, there is a slim risk of liver damage during prolonged use of the drug, (yellowing of the skin or eyes, nausea, abdominal pain or discomfort, unusual bleeding
or bruising, severe fatigue); blood problems (fever, fatigue, easy bruising or bleeding); or genital sores or itching. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your
physician or pharmacist.

Before taking doxycycline, tell your physician if you are taking any of the following drugs: cholestyramine (Questran) or colestipol (Colestid);
an antacid such as Tums, Rolaids, Milk of Magnesia, Maalox, and others; a product that contains bismuth subsalicylate such as Pepto-Bismol; minerals such as iron, zinc,
calcium, magnesium, and over-the-counter vitamin and mineral supplements; didanosine (Videx); a blood thinner such as warfarin (Coumadin); sucralfate (Carafate); or a
penicillin antibiotic such as amoxicillin (Amoxil, Trimox, others), penicillin (BeePen-VK, Pen-Vee K, Veetids, others), dicloxacillin (Dynapen), carbenicillin (Geocillin),
oxacillin (Bactocill), and others. You may not be able to take doxycycline or you may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring during treatment. Doxycycline may
decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills. Use a second method of birth control to ensure protection from unintended pregnancy while taking doxycycline. Drugs other
than those listed here may also interact with doxycycline. Talk to your physician and pharmacist before taking any prescription or over-the-counter medicines, including
vitamins, minerals, and herbal products.

Seek emergency medical attention if an overdose is suspected. Symptoms of a doxycycline overdose include nausea,
vomiting, and diarrhea.

regularly scheduled dose. Do not take a double dose of this medication unless otherwise directed by your physician.
