Why is Doryx prescribed ?
Doryx is a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic used against
a wide variety of bacterial infections, including Rocky Mountain
spotted fever and other fevers caused by ticks, fleas, and
lice; urinary tract infections; trachoma (chronic infections
of the eye); and some gonococcal infections in adults. It
is an approved treatment for inhalational anthrax. It is also
used with other medications to treat severe acne and amoebic
dysentery (diarrhea caused by severe parasitic infection of
the intestines).
Doryx may also be taken for the prevention of malaria on
foreign trips of less than 4 months' duration.
Occasionally doctors prescribe Doryx to treat early Lyme
disease and to prevent "traveler's diarrhea." These
are not yet officially approved uses for Doryx.
Most important fact about Doryx
Generally, children under 8 years old and women in the last
half of pregnancy should not take Doryx. It may cause developing
teeth to become permanently discolored. (However, children
under 8 may be given this drug for inhalational anthrax.)
How should you take Doryx ?
Take Doryx with a full glass of water or other liquid to
avoid irritating your throat or stomach. Doryx can be taken
with or without food. However, if Doryx does upset your stomach,
you may wish to take it with a glass of milk or after you
have eaten. Doryx tablets should be swallowed whole.
Take Doryx exactly as prescribed by your doctor, even if
your symptoms have disappeared.
Do not use outdated Doryx.
If you miss a dose of Doryx
Take the forgotten dose as soon as you remember. If it is
almost time for the next dose, put it off for several hours
after taking the missed dose. Specifically, if you are taking
one dose a day, take the next one 10 to 12 hours after the
missed dose. If you are taking two doses a day, take the next
one 5 to 6 hours after the missed dose. If you are taking
three doses a day, take the next one 2 to 4 hours after the
missed dose. Then return to your regular schedule.
Storage instructions for Doryx
Doryx can be stored at room temperature. Protect from light

that you have experienced.
Special warnings about Doryx
As with other antibiotics, treatment with Doryx may result
in a growth of bacteria that do not respond to this medication
and can cause a secondary infection. An overgrowth of certain
bacteria in the colon could cause mild to severe - and rarely,
life-threatening - diarrhea. If you develop this symptom,
call your doctor immediately.
Bulging foreheads in infants and headaches in adults have
occurred. These symptoms disappeared when Doryx was discontinued.
You may become more sensitive to sunlight while taking Doryx.
Be careful if you are going out in the sun or using a sunlamp.
If you develop a skin rash, notify your doctor immediately.
Birth control pills that contain estrogen may not be as effective
while you are taking tetracycline drugs. Ask your doctor or
pharmacist if you should use another form of birth control
while taking Doryx.
Doxycycline syrup (Vibramycin) contains a sulfite that may
cause allergic reactions in certain people. This reaction
happens more frequently to people with asthma.
Possible food and drug interactions when taking Doryx
If Doryx is taken with certain other drugs, the effects of
either could be increased, decreased, or altered.
It is especially important to check with your doctor before
combining Doryx with the following:
Antacids containing aluminum, calcium, or magnesium, and
iron-containing preparations such as Maalox, Mylanta, and
others
Barbiturates such as phenobarbital
Bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol)
Blood-thinning medications such as Coumadin
Carbamazepine (Tegretol)
Oral contraceptives
Penicillin (V-Cillin K, Pen-vee K, others)
Phenytoin (Dilantin)

Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding
Doryx should not be used during pregnancy. Tetracycline can
damage developing teeth during the last half of pregnancy.
If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, inform your
doctor immediately. Tetracyclines such as Doryx appear in
breast milk and can affect a nursing infant. If Doryx is essential
to your health, your doctor may advise you to discontinue
breastfeeding until your treatment is finished.
