Tetradox 100 mg Tablet

Tetradox 100 mg Tablet is a prescription antibiotic tablet 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 when a clinician decides doxycycline is appropriate. Tetradox 100 mg Tablet is not effective for colds, flu, or other viral illnesses. Because it is a 100 mg strength tablet, it is often chosen when a standard adult-strength dose is needed.

How it works: Doxycycline works by stopping bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply. As a tablet, Tetradox 100 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed into the body to help fight susceptible bacterial infections from inside the bloodstream.

Tetradox 100 mg Tablet is a full-strength doxycycline tablet, so it is generally used when a doctor wants a dose that is higher than lower-strength options. It may suit patients who can swallow tablets and need a regimen that fits standard adult dosing schedules, which may be once or twice daily depending on the infection. A clinician chooses this strength based on the infection being treated, age, weight, and medical history.
