Sandox CP 50 mg Tablet

Sandox CP 50 mg Tablet is a doxycycline antibiotic in tablet form, with each tablet containing 50 mg of doxycycline. It belongs to the tetracycline class of antibiotics and is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections when prescribed by a clinician. Sandox CP 50 mg Tablet may also be chosen for certain acne-related and other doxycycline-responsive conditions, depending on the doctor’s assessment.

How it works: Doxycycline stops bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply, which helps the body clear the infection. In tablet form, Sandox CP 50 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract before it starts working in the body.

Sandox CP 50 mg Tablet is a lower-strength doxycycline tablet that can be useful when a prescriber wants finer dose adjustment or a smaller single dose than higher-strength tablets. Because there are no other Sandox CP strengths or forms listed here, this 50 mg tablet is the only version available in this brand and should be used exactly as directed for the condition being treated.

• Bacterial infections
• Acne
• Respiratory tract infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Certain other doxycycline-sensitive infections

• Swallow Sandox CP 50 mg Tablet whole with a full glass of water unless your prescriber gives different instructions.
• Take it while sitting or standing, and do not lie down right after taking it to reduce the chance of throat irritation.
• You may take it with food if it upsets your stomach, but avoid taking it at the same time as dairy, calcium, iron, magnesium, or antacid products.
• Take it at the same time each day if your doctor prescribes a regular schedule.
• Finish the full course exactly as prescribed, even if you feel better before it is done.

Each Sandox CP 50 mg Tablet provides 50 mg of doxycycline. How often it is taken depends on the infection or condition and on your doctor’s prescription; some people take it once daily, while others may be told to take it twice daily, and the total daily dose should not exceed what your prescriber orders.

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