Nudoxy Capsule

Nudoxy Capsule is a doxycycline antibiotic in capsule form, with each capsule containing doxycycline as labelled. It belongs to the tetracycline class and is used to treat a range of bacterial infections when prescribed by a clinician. Nudoxy Capsule does not treat viral illnesses such as colds or flu. Because it is an antibiotic, it should be used only for infections that are likely to respond to doxycycline.

How it works: Doxycycline works by blocking bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply. As a capsule, Nudoxy Capsule releases the medicine for absorption through the digestive tract, helping it reach the bloodstream to fight susceptible bacteria.

Nudoxy Capsule is a standard oral capsule strength of doxycycline, and there are no other strengths or forms of this brand listed here for comparison. This capsule form is often chosen when a patient can swallow capsules and needs a convenient, well-established doxycycline option for doctor-directed treatment. The exact strength and dosing schedule are selected by the prescriber based on the infection being treated and the patient’s medical history.

• Bacterial respiratory tract infections
• Acne and rosacea-related bacterial treatment
• Certain sexually transmitted infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Some tick-borne infections
• Other doctor-prescribed bacterial infections

• Swallow Nudoxy Capsule whole with a full glass of water; do not crush, chew, or open it unless your doctor or pharmacist says it is okay.
• Take it while sitting or standing, and stay upright for at least 30 minutes afterward to lower the risk of throat or esophageal irritation.
• If it upsets your stomach, it may be taken with food or milk, but avoid taking it at the same time as antacids, iron, calcium, magnesium, or zinc.
• Take it at evenly spaced times as prescribed and finish the full course, even if you start feeling better.
• Do not take it right before lying down or bedtime unless your prescriber specifically instructs you to do so safely.

Each Nudoxy Capsule provides the labelled doxycycline dose in capsule form, and the exact dose and schedule depend on the infection and the patient. Some people take it once daily, while others may take it twice daily; the maximum amount per day is set by the prescriber and should not be exceeded. Your doctor decides the right dose and duration for this specific strength.

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
• Loss of appetite
• Sensitivity to sunlight or easier sunburn

• Take Nudoxy Capsule exactly as prescribed; using too much can increase side effects without improving results.
• This medicine can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, so use sunscreen and protective clothing outdoors.
• Avoid taking it at the same time as antacids or mineral supplements containing calcium, magnesium, iron, or zinc because they can reduce absorption.
• Tell your prescriber if you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breastfeeding, because doxycycline may not be appropriate in some situations.
• Use caution if you have a history of esophageal irritation, swallowing problems, liver disease, or severe reflux.
• Do not use it for a viral illness, and do not share Nudoxy Capsule with anyone else.
• Alcohol is best limited if it upsets your stomach or if your clinician has advised avoiding it during treatment.

• Antacids, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, iron, or zinc supplements
• Warfarin and other blood thinners
• Isotretinoin or other retinoids
• Penicillin antibiotics, which may be affected in some treatment plans
• Barbiturates, carbamazepine, or phenytoin, which can lower doxycycline levels
