Composition

Mechanism of Action

Doxycycline inhibits protein synthesis in susceptible bacteria by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit. This action:

• Prevents bacterial growth and replication

• Helps the immune system clear infections more effectively

• Exhibits bacteriostatic activity, slowing down infection progression

Its broad-spectrum activity makes Doxicap effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as atypical pathogens.

Dosage and Administration

• The usual adult dose is 100 mg orally once or twice daily, depending on the severity of infection.

Precautions

• Not recommended in children under 8 years due to risk of tooth discoloration.

• Use with caution in patients with liver or kidney impairment.

• Prolonged use may cause superinfections with resistant organisms or fungi.
