Doxzee 100 Capsule

Doxzee 100 Capsule is a prescription antibiotic capsule that contains doxycycline 100 mg in each capsule. It belongs to the tetracycline class of antibiotics and is used to treat a range of bacterial infections, including respiratory, skin, urinary, and certain sexually transmitted infections, as well as other infections your clinician feels are appropriate. Doxzee 100 Capsule only works against bacteria, not viruses such as the common cold or flu. Because it is a 100 mg strength, it is commonly chosen when a full adult dose is needed rather than a lower starter strength.

How it works: Doxycycline works by stopping bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply. In capsule form, Doxzee 100 Capsule is swallowed so the medicine can be absorbed through the digestive tract and carried through the body to fight infection.

Doxzee 100 Capsule is the as-labelled 100 mg strength, which is higher than lower doxycycline strengths and is usually used when a clinician wants a standard treatment dose for an adult or older adolescent who has been assessed. This capsule may be selected for infections that need a full-strength regimen, but the exact schedule depends on the infection being treated and your medical history. Since there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, Doxzee 100 Capsule fits typical doxycycline dosing as a standard oral capsule option.

• Bacterial respiratory tract infections
• Acne and other skin infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Certain sexually transmitted infections
• Tick-borne and other susceptible bacterial infections

• Swallow Doxzee 100 Capsule whole with a full glass of water.
• Take it while sitting or standing, and stay upright for at least 30 minutes afterward to lower the risk of throat irritation.
• Do not take it right before bedtime.
• If it upsets your stomach, it may be taken with food or milk unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.
• Avoid taking it at the same time as antacids, iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, or multivitamins; separate doses by several hours.
• Take it exactly on schedule and finish the full course even if you start to feel better.

Each Doxzee 100 Capsule provides doxycycline 100 mg. Depending on the infection, a doctor may prescribe it once daily or twice daily, and the total daily amount is commonly 100 mg to 200 mg, but your exact regimen must be set by your prescriber. Do not increase the dose or take more than prescribed, because the right dose and duration depend on the condition being treated.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Doxycycline may include:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Stomach pain or upset stomach
• Heartburn or irritation of the throat
• Increased sun sensitivity

• Take Doxzee 100 Capsule with plenty of water to reduce the risk of esophageal irritation.
• Stay upright after taking it and avoid taking it right before lying down.
• Use extra sun protection because doxycycline can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight.
• Tell your prescriber if you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breastfeeding, because doxycycline may not be appropriate.
• Use caution if you have liver disease, a history of severe antibiotic-associated diarrhea, or trouble swallowing.
• Do not use it for viral infections, and do not share it with anyone else.
• If you take diabetes medicines or blood thinners, ask your clinician about monitoring before starting treatment.

• Antacids, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, and multivitamins can reduce absorption.
• Warfarin and other anticoagulants may have increased bleeding risk.
• Penicillin antibiotics may be less effective when used with doxycycline in some situations.
• Retinoids such as isotretinoin or acitretin may increase the risk of raised pressure in the head.
