Revidox 100 mg Tablet

Revidox 100 mg Tablet is an antibiotic medicine that contains 100 mg of doxycycline in each tablet. It belongs to the tetracycline class of antibiotics and is used to treat a range of bacterial infections. Revidox 100 mg Tablet may be prescribed for infections of the respiratory tract, skin, urinary tract, and certain sexually transmitted infections, as well as other doctor-approved uses. It works only against bacteria, not viruses such as the common cold or flu.

How it works: Doxycycline stops bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply, which helps the immune system clear the infection. In tablet form, Revidox 100 mg Tablet delivers this medicine by mouth in a convenient once- or twice-daily dose depending on the prescription.

Revidox 100 mg Tablet is a full-strength doxycycline tablet, so it is commonly used when a doctor wants a standard adult treatment dose rather than a lower-strength product. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this tablet represents the exact 100 mg dose your prescriber may choose based on the infection being treated, your age, and how often the medicine needs to be taken.

• Bacterial respiratory tract infections
• Acne and certain skin infections
• Urinary tract infections caused by bacteria
• Certain sexually transmitted infections
• Other bacterial infections prescribed by a doctor

• Swallow Revidox 100 mg Tablet whole with a full glass of water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Do not lie down for at least 30 minutes after taking it to lower the risk of throat irritation or stomach upset.
• You may take it with food or milk if it upsets your stomach, but avoid taking it together with dairy, antacids, iron, zinc, or magnesium supplements.
• Take it at the same time each day if your prescription is once daily, or evenly spaced if it is prescribed twice daily.
• Finish the full course even if you start feeling better, unless your doctor tells you to stop.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next one; do not double up.

Each Revidox 100 mg Tablet provides 100 mg of doxycycline. Depending on the infection, a doctor may prescribe it once daily or twice daily, and some infections may require a higher first dose or a different schedule. The maximum daily dose depends on the condition being treated and your prescriber’s instructions, so use only the exact dosing your doctor has recommended.

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