Doxycycline is used to treat bacterial infections. Doxycycline treats urinary tract infections, intestinal infections, respiratory infections, eye infections, sexually transmitted infections (like gonorrhoea and syphilis), gum infections, diseases (like periodontitis), and others. Besides this, Doxycycline also treats acne-like lesions caused by rosacea. However, it does not treat facial redness caused by rosacea.
Doxycycline being an antibiotic prevents the growth of bacterial cells (the bad ones!) by preventing the formation of the outer protein layer of bacteria (cell wall) responsible for bacteria's growth and multiplication. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, i.e. it acts against various bacteria. It is a bacteriostatic antibiotic, i.e. it stops bacteria growth but does not kill them.
Doxycycline should only be taken if advised by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food but should be consumed at a fixed time for the best results. You should complete the course of Doxycycline as your doctor prescribes for better results.

It is often a good idea to wear contact lenses before and after handling Doxycycline. If you notice any of the following symptoms, contact your doctor as soon as possible.Background:Ofloxacin, a member of the fluoroquinolone antibiotic family, is a widely used antibiotic for various infectious and autoimmune conditions. However, its use in patients is controversial, especially with regard to its potential impact on patient outcomes. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of oral doxycycline on patient outcomes among patients with mild to moderate osteopenia. Methods: This prospective study included consecutive patients admitted to the Department of Rheumatology at the First Hospital of Gombe, and patients with moderate osteopenic status and mild to moderate osteopenic status were enrolled between December 2011 and January 2012. The patients were divided into three groups, and demographic characteristics and clinical outcomes were collected at the end of the study. Results: The total number of participants in the three groups was 2,611. Of the 2,611 participants in each group, 6,012 had moderate osteopenic status and 5,062 were mild osteopenic status. The mean age was 67.7 years in the three groups. The mean duration of follow-up was 9.9 years, and the mean length of follow-up was 11.4 months. There were no significant differences in the number of participants in the three groups in terms of age, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and total cholesterol levels at baseline or after the first week of treatment. However, the mean age of the three groups was similar in both groups, and the mean duration of follow-up was 11.4 months. Conclusion: Oral doxycycline is a well-tolerated antibiotic with minimal adverse effects. Although it is a known antibiotic of the fluoroquinolones family, oral doxycycline has limited impact on patient outcomes in patients with osteopenic status. The results suggest that oral doxycycline could be an alternative treatment option for patients with osteopenic status. We therefore concluded that oral doxycycline could be an alternative treatment option for patients with mild osteopenic status.
IntroductionThe aim of this study was to assess the impact of oral doxycycline on patient outcomes among patients with mild to moderate osteopenic status. Methods: This retrospective study included patients admitted to the Department of Rheumatology at the First Hospital of Gombe, Gombe, from December 2011 to January 2012. The total number of participants in the three groups was 2,611. The results suggest that oral doxycycline could be an alternative treatment option for patients with mild osteopenic status.

On 14 March 2023, the UK Medicines regulator approved an application to reclassify the oral doxycycline formulation of similar purpose-to-benefit ratio from ‘primary’ doxycycline hyclate (Doxycycline Hyclate), a branded prescription antibiotic for the treatment ofHaemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, CoQ10 macrolide and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The application is being taken down in July 2023.
Doxycycline is an antibiotic that is effective against a wide range of bacteria and parasites and has a range of applications throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Applications for this product were previously restricted to treating only specific bacterial infections, so it is now frequently used for other indications.
This application contends that the benefit-to-risk ratio for doxycycline is high, with outcomes estimated to be between £1,050,000 to £1,1,050,000 per 1,000natal infections averted in the UK in 2036. While doxycycline is the only antibiotic that is available on the NHS in the UK, it is also the only antibiotic that is available through the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) through which patients may be prescribed doxycycline for bacterial infections.
