Composition

Each capsule contains:

• Doxycycline Hydrochloride 50 mg

Mechanism of Action

Doxycycline binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit of bacteria, inhibiting protein synthesis. This mechanism:

• Prevents bacterial growth and replication

• Provides a bacteriostatic effect, allowing the immune system to clear infections

• Targets both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as atypical pathogens

By stopping bacterial proliferation, Doxicap helps control infection and reduce symptoms effectively.

Indications

Doxicap Capsule 50 mg is indicated for:

• Mild to moderate respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis and sinusitis

• Skin and soft tissue infections, including acne and cellulitis

• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)

• Certain sexually transmitted infections, including chlamydia

• Tick-borne infections like Lyme disease and rickettsial diseases

• Malaria prophylaxis in endemic areas, as prescribed

Dosage and Administration

• Adults and adolescents: 50–100 mg orally once or twice daily, depending on the infection type and severity

• Take with a full glass of water to prevent esophageal irritation

• Can be taken with or without food, but avoid dairy products, antacids, or iron supplements near the time of dosing

• Complete the full course as prescribed to prevent antibiotic resistance

Precautions

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

• Use with caution in patients with liver or kidney impairment

• Long-term use may cause superinfections with resistant bacteria or fungi

• Avoid prolonged sun exposure, as doxycycline may cause photosensitivity
