Doxy 100mg Strip Of 8 Tablets
Doxy 100 MG Description
Doxy-100 tablet is an antibiotic medicine containing doxycycline. It is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including infections of the lungs, throat, airways, skin, eyes, and genitals.
Doxy-100 tablet or any antibiotic should not be used when you are not sure if the infection is due to bacteria; unnecessary use of antibiotics can make them ineffective for future treatment. Complete the course of antibiotics as prescribed by the doctor, or it may lead to relapse or return of the infection.

Doxy-100 tablet should not be used during tooth development (last half of pregnancy; infancy and childhood to the age of 8 years) as it may cause permanent discolouration of the teeth (yellow-grey-brown).
