Doxy 100 Tablet
Description
Doxy-100 Tablet is an antibiotic medication used to treat various bacterial infections. It is effective for infections affecting the lungs, throat, airways, skin, eyes, and genitals. By stopping the growth of bacteria, Doxy-100 Tablet helps the body fight infections and reduces the risk of complications associated with untreated bacterial illnesses.
The active ingredient in Doxy-100 Tablet is doxycycline, a member of the tetracycline class of antibiotics. It works by interfering with the bacteria's ability to produce proteins necessary for their growth and survival. This action helps control the infection and promotes faster recovery. Doxycycline is widely used due to its effectiveness against various types of bacterial infections.
Doxy-100 Tablet should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Completing the full course is essential, even if you start feeling better before the medication is finished. Stopping the medicine early may cause the infection to return and may also contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance, making future infections harder to treat.
Other medicines containing doxycycline include Doxil 100 tablets and Doxycept 100 tablets. While these medicines contain the same active ingredient, your doctor will prescribe the one that is most appropriate for your condition. Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding the dosage and duration of treatment.
Doxy-100 Tablet should not be used during the last half of pregnancy, infancy, or childhood up to 8 years of age, as it may cause permanent discolouration of teeth. Inform your doctor about all medical conditions, medications, and supplements you are taking before starting Doxy-100 Tablet. Taking the medicine with plenty of water and avoiding lying down immediately after ingestion can help prevent irritation of the oesophagus.
