Generic name: Doxycycline hyclate
Brand name: Vibracina , Doxycom, Doryx
Why is Doxycom prescribed ?

Doxycom 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).
Doxycom may also be taken for the prevention of malaria on
foreign trips of less than 4 months' duration.
Occasionally doctors prescribe Doxycom to treat early Lyme
disease and to prevent "traveler's diarrhea." These
are not yet officially approved uses for Doxycom.
Most important fact about Doxycom
Generally, children under 8 years old and women in the last
half of pregnancy should not take Doxycom. 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 Doxycom ?
Take Doxycom with a full glass of water or other liquid to
avoid irritating your throat or stomach. Doxycom can be taken
with or without food. However, if Doxycom does upset your
stomach, you may wish to take it with a glass of milk or after
you have eaten. Doxycom tablets should be swallowed whole.
Take Doxycom exactly as prescribed by your doctor, even if
your symptoms have disappeared.
Do not use outdated Doxycom.
If you miss a dose of Doxycom
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 Doxycom
Doxycom can be stored at room temperature. Protect from light
and excessive heat.
What side effects may occur when taking Doxycom ?
Side effects of Doxycom cannot be anticipated. If any develop
or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible.
Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue
taking doxycycline.
More common side effects when taking Doxycom may include:
Angioedema (chest pain; swelling of face, around lips, tongue
and throat, arms and legs; difficulty swallowing), bulging
foreheads in infants, diarrhea, difficulty swallowing, discolored
teeth in infants and children (more common during long-term
use of tetracycline), inflammation of the tongue, loss of
appetite, nausea, rash, rectal or genital itching, severe
allergic reaction (hives, itching, and swelling), skin sensitivity
to light, vomiting.
Less common or rare side effects when taking Doxycom may
include:
Aggravation of lupus erythematosus (disease of the connective
tissue), skin inflammation and peeling, throat inflammation
and ulcerations
Why should Doxycom not be prescribed ?
If you are sensitive to or have ever had an allergic reaction
to doxycycline or drugs of this type, you should not take
Doxycom. Make sure your doctor is aware of any drug reactions
that you have experienced.
Special warnings about Doxycom
As with other antibiotics, treatment with Doxycom 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 Doxycom was discontinued.
You may become more sensitive to sunlight while taking Doxycom.
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 Doxycom.
Doxycom 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 Doxycom
If Doxycom 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 Doxycom 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)
Sodium bicarbonate
Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding
Doxycom 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 Doxycom appear in
breast milk and can affect a nursing infant. If Doxycom is
essential to your health, your doctor may advise you to discontinue
breastfeeding until your treatment is finished.
