About Doxycycline
This is a strong type of antibiotic. People all over the world have been using it for nearly 50 years. But keep in mind that it only works on infections caused by bacteria and parasites. It won’t heal viral infections.
You can take it if you have STIs like chlamydia. It’s also good for infections in your intestines, respiratory system and eyes.
You may be allergic to this medicine, so talk to your doctor first. Don’t take this antibiotic if you’re pregnant or lactating. Children under eight also shouldn’t use it.
How effective is Doxycycline in treating chlamydia?
It’s great for treating chlamydia. But it won’t work well if you take certain supplements with it, like iron or calcium. And don’t take laxatives around the same time you take the antibiotic.
To get the most out of these capsules, take them with food and water. Only your doctor can tell you what medicine you can take along with it.
How does Doxycycline work?
It stops bacteria from multiplying without completely wiping them out.
Directions
What dose should I choose?
You would usually take 100 mg twice a day for 7 days. This is if you don’t have any other illnesses or if your symptoms are not severe. The dose can change depending on your condition.
Take a regular dose. You usually wouldn’t be on this medicine for a long time. Talk to your GP for advice or contact us at Click Pharmacy through our website, email or phone.
How should I take Doxycycline?
Take the dose at the same time each day for as long as your doctor tells you to. This way you can be sure the infection is gone.
It’s best to take the capsules while standing so you don’t get nauseous. If you forget to take a capsule, take it as soon as you remember. But don’t double up on your next dose.
