How does doxycycline work?
Doxycycline belongs to a class of medications called tetracycline antibiotics. It works by inhibiting the growth and reproduction of bacteria by interfering with their protein synthesis. This helps to eliminate the infection and relieve associated symptoms.
Forms of doxycycline available
Doxycycline comes as a capsule, tablet, delayed-release tablet, and suspension (liquid) to take by mouth.
Dosage of doxycycline
The dosage of doxycycline depends on the specific condition being treated, the severity of the infection, and individual patient factors. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and drug information provided by the healthcare provider.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose. Take your next dose at the regular time. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Directions for doxycycline use
Doxycycline should be taken as directed by the healthcare provider. The tablets or capsules should be taken with a full glass of water and swallowed whole. Taking it with food or milk can help reduce the risk of stomach upset.
Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, light and reach of children.
Warnings and precautions for doxycycline
- Using doxycycline in children under the age of 8 or during tooth development may cause permanent tooth discoloration
- It may cause photosensitivity reactions, so it’s important to protect the skin from excessive sunlight or artificial UV light during treatment. Doxycycline can make you sunburn more easily. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) when you are outdoors. Tell your doctor right away if you get sunburned or have skin blisters/redness
Drug interactions for doxycycline
Doxycycline may interact with certain medications:
- It is recommended to avoid taking antacids, calcium, magnesium or iron supplements within 2 hours before or after taking doxycycline to ensure optimal absorption. These can reduce the absorption of doxycycline in the body
- Taking doxycycline with retinoids, such as isotretinoin (Accutane), can increase the risk of intracranial hypertension, a condition characterized by increased pressure within the skull. This combination should be avoided to prevent this serious side effect
- Combining doxycycline with penicillin antibiotics may reduce the effectiveness of each drug. These antibiotics work through different mechanisms, and their combination may interfere with each other’s actions. If both medications are required, your doctor may need to adjust the doses or prescribe an alternative
- Doxycycline can interact with warfarin, an anticoagulant (blood thinner), and increase the risk of bleeding. If you are taking warfarin, your doctor may need to monitor your blood clotting more closely and adjust the dose of warfarin if necessary
It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter, and herbal products, before starting doxycycline. They can determine if any of these medications may interact with doxycycline and recommend appropriate alternatives or adjustments.
Use of doxycycline during pregnancy
Doxycycline should be avoided during pregnancy, particularly during the second and third trimesters, as it can interfere with fetal bone development and cause other adverse effects. Consultation with a healthcare provider is necessary to weigh the potential risks and benefits.
Use of doxycycline while breastfeeding
Doxycycline may pass into breast milk and may affect the nursing infant’s developing teeth and bones. It is generally recommended to avoid doxycycline while breastfeeding. Consultation with a healthcare provider is necessary to discuss alternative treatment options.

Common side effects:
- Nausea and stomach upset
