Spardox 100 mg Capsule

Spardox 100 mg Capsule is an antibiotic medicine that contains 100 mg of doxycycline in each capsule. It belongs to the tetracycline class and is used to treat a range of bacterial infections. Spardox 100 mg Capsule may be prescribed for infections of the skin, respiratory tract, urinary tract, eyes, and certain sexually transmitted or tick-borne infections when doxycycline is appropriate.

How it works: Doxycycline stops bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply, which helps the body clear the infection. In capsule form, Spardox 100 mg Capsule is swallowed and absorbed into the bloodstream to act throughout the body against susceptible bacteria.

Spardox 100 mg Capsule is a higher-strength doxycycline capsule, so it is typically used when a doctor wants a full treatment dose in one capsule rather than a lower-dose product. Because it delivers 100 mg at once, it may be a convenient option for adults or adolescents who have been assessed by a clinician and need this exact strength for their infection.

• Bacterial skin infections
• Respiratory tract infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Certain sexually transmitted infections
• Tick-borne infections
• Eye infections caused by susceptible bacteria

• Swallow the Spardox 100 mg Capsule whole with a full glass of water.
• Do not lie down right after taking it; stay upright for at least 30 minutes to lower the risk of throat irritation.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, and try to take each dose at the same time every day.
• It can be taken with food if it upsets your stomach, but avoid taking it right before bedtime.
• Do not crush or open the capsule unless your pharmacist or doctor specifically tells you to.
• Separate it from antacids, iron, calcium, magnesium, or zinc products by several hours because they can reduce absorption.

Each Spardox 100 mg Capsule provides 100 mg of doxycycline. How often it is taken depends on the infection and your doctor's instructions; some regimens use one capsule once daily, while others may use it twice daily. Do not exceed the prescribed daily amount, because the correct dose and duration are decided by the prescriber 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 upset
• Loss of appetite
• Sensitivity to sunlight
• Throat irritation or pain if the capsule is taken without enough water

• Spardox 100 mg Capsule is a higher-strength doxycycline product, so it should only be used when a clinician has decided this dose is appropriate.
• Avoid taking it with dairy products, antacids, iron, calcium, magnesium, or zinc at the same time because they can block absorption.
• It can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, so use sunscreen and limit prolonged sun exposure.
• Do not take it if you have had an allergic reaction to doxycycline or other tetracycline antibiotics unless your doctor says it is safe.
• Tell your prescriber if you have liver disease, kidney problems, or trouble swallowing pills or capsules.
• Use caution with alcohol if it worsens stomach upset or adherence to your treatment plan.
• Do not use during pregnancy unless specifically prescribed, because tetracycline antibiotics can affect fetal bone and tooth development.

• Antacids containing aluminum, magnesium, or calcium
• Iron supplements and multivitamins with minerals
• Calcium supplements or dairy products taken at the same time
• Blood thinners such as warfarin
• Isotretinoin or other retinoids
