Patient summary
Doxycycline 100mg capsules and tablets, used for acne vulgaris, chlamydia, Lyme disease and respiratory tract infection. A broad-spectrum tetracycline.
Mechanism of action
A broad-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, stopping the growth of bacteria and reducing inflammation in skin conditions like acne.
Vibramycin is a doxycycline tablet, available in a 100mg strength. Doxycycline belongs to the tetracycline class and is used to treat acne vulgaris, chlamydia trachomatis, Lyme disease and respiratory tract infection; malaria prophylaxis is a known off-label use. Pfizer is the originator company, and the medicine is also sold as Doxy-100, Lyranda and Doxt.
It works by blocking bacterial protein synthesis, which halts bacterial growth and eases inflammation in acne. It starts working within 1 to 2 hours, and its effect lasts 12 to 24 hours. Doxycycline is not suitable in pregnancy or for children under 8, and it can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight, so a rash, itching or redness may appear.

The ones people notice most with doxycycline are nausea, photosensitivity and diarrhoea. Some people also get oesophagitis and vaginal candidiasis. Rarer but serious: anaphylaxis and intracranial hypertension. These need urgent medical help.
Is the Vibramycin here the brand version?
No. Vibramycin is the original brand from Pfizer; we use the name so you can tell which medicine it is. What we send is a generic with the same active ingredient (doxycycline) at the same dose, usually a well-known Indian branded generic. Which brand you get depends on stock.
Which medicines don't mix with Vibramycin?
Doxycycline can interact with calcium, magnesium and iron salts. Before you start Vibramycin, let your doctor or pharmacist know everything else you take.

No, not online. MayChemist doesn't ask for a prescription to order Vibramycin. We're an online store, not a dispensing pharmacy: we place your order and arrange the delivery for you.

How ordering works →What you will receive
Vibramycin is the originator brand name, made by Pfizer. We use it here to identify the medicine only; we are not affiliated with Pfizer and do not ship the original Vibramycin.
- You receive a generic equivalent: the same active ingredient (Doxycycline) at the same dose, mostly recognised Indian branded generics from vetted manufacturers.
- The exact brand supplied depends on what is in stock at the dispatching warehouse.
- Inactive ingredients, tablet appearance and packaging can differ from the original brand; the active ingredient and dose are the same.
