Patient summary
Utilised to alleviate acne and various bacterial infections, formulated to support skin clarity and targeted to mitigate bacterial growth.
Mechanism of action
Doxycycline inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, which prevents the binding of tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex, thereby inhibiting bacterial growth.
Doxycycline is an antibiotic medicine, supplied as a 100mg tablet. Its active ingredient is doxycycline, and it is used for acne vulgaris, bacterial infection and malaria prophylaxis. It is also known as Vibramycin or Doxt.
Doxycycline inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit and preventing tRNA from attaching to the mRNA-ribosome complex. Swallow the tablet whole with plenty of water while upright. Avoid sun exposure, which can cause rash, itching and redness, and this may be harder to see on brown or black skin. People with hypersensitivity to tetracyclines should not use it. Anaphylaxis can cause a swollen throat or tongue, a raised itchy rash or difficulty breathing. Anaphylaxis and intracranial hypertension need immediate medical attention. Bowel inflammation can cause stomach ache and bloody diarrhoea. Calcium supplements and antacids interact with doxycycline.
