Background:Doxycycline is a broad spectrum antibiotic of tetracycline, a tetracycline antibiotic that inhibits bacterial growth and spread. Doxycycline is known to cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea when administered during hospitalization or after discontinuation of treatment, resulting in a lack of treatment availability. There is a need to improve the efficacy of doxycycline in treating bacterial infections. There is limited information on the use of doxycycline for treating infections caused by susceptible bacteria. There are no data on the effect of doxycycline on the growth of susceptible isolates ofPseudomonas aeruginosa.
Doxycycline is used to treat infections caused by Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Gram-positive bacteria are Gram-negative organisms that are susceptible to doxycycline. Gram-negative bacteria, such asStaphylococcusspp.,P. aeruginosaspp., andspp., are generally more susceptible to doxycycline than Gram-positive bacteria, but some strains of gram-negative bacteria may have greater susceptibility to the drug.
Use:Gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria may be more susceptible to doxycycline than Gram-negative bacteria. The use of doxycycline for treatinginfections is less common, however, as resistance to doxycycline is greater than resistance to other tetracyclines. The use of doxycycline in treatinginfections is also less common than in the treatment ofEnterobacteriaceaeinfections. Other types of organisms, including thespp. andspp., may also have resistance to doxycycline. This is especially true ofthat may be resistant to doxycycline.infections is less common than in treatingThese bacteria may be more susceptible to doxycycline than gram-negative bacteria, and are more resistant to the drug.infections is also less common than in treating
Tetracyclinesare drugs that inhibit the growth and spread of microorganisms. Tetracyclines are drugs that inhibit the growth and spread of microorganisms. Tetracyclines can kill or slow the growth of anaerobic bacteria, includingC. difficile
Antibioticsare a class of drugs that inhibit the growth and spread of microorganisms. Antibiotics are drugs that inhibit bacterial growth and spread by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. They are used to treat infections caused by gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. They are used to treat infections caused byThey may be used to treatinfections such as those caused byPseudomonas
The most common use of antibiotics is to treat infections caused by bacteria. However, it is not uncommon to treat infections caused bysuch asE. coliKlebsiellaThe use of antibiotics for treating infections caused byis less common than the use of antibiotics for treating
Tetracycline is an antibiotic that inhibits bacterial growth and spread by binding to bacterial protein-DNA and interfering with the ability of bacteria to spread within the host. Tetracycline is used to treat infections caused by Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.Common Name: Tetracycline HCl; Achromycin V

Tetracycline hydrochloride is a hydrochloride salt form of the antibiotic tetracycline. This polyketide antibiotic binds to both the 30S and 50S ribosomal subunits, thus inhibiting proper protein synthesis. Although it is capable of binding to both subunits, the binding at the 30S subunit is more pronounced than that at the 50S. Clinically, tetracycline is used as a broad spectrum antibiotic for a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial infections. Conditions which may indicate for tetracycline administration include upper respiratory infection, typhus fever and rikkettsialpox. It can also be administered to treat severe cases of acne. Tetracycline has played a prominent research role in studies of the efficacy of local antibiotic application in cases of dental trauma. Owing to the fluorescent properties of tetracycline and its ability to bind to bone tissue, this antibiotic is also regularly used in bone histomorphometry studies.

The medication should be administered by the physician in a manner which is not interfering with the patient's ability to absorb the drug. In case of accidental overdosage, the dose may be adjusted by the physician to a maximum of 100 mg per day. In some cases, the physician may recommend that the physician administer additional dosage to the patient's body weight in order to compensate for the increase in body weight.Overdoses are very unlikely to be fatal, but should be considered in patients with significant hepatic disease, severe renal impairment or if applicable, the dose may be adjusted according to the response of the patient. Doses in the therapeutic range are not recommended for patients with severe hepatic disease. In such cases, the physician may administer doses of two or three times the maximum daily dose to the patient's body weight, as determined by the physician.
If the dose is administered to the patient's body weight in a manner which is not providing adequate absorption of tetracycline, it is recommended that the physician administer additional dosage to the patient's body weight in order to compensate for the increase in body weight. In such cases, the physician may advise the patient to take a double dose of tetracycline to compensate for the increase in body weight.
Tetracycline Hydrochloride Injection USP is a polyvalent serum antibiotic.
While adverse reactions to tetracycline are uncommon, some patients who take the drug may experience side effects, including headaches, gastrointestinal problems (stomach cramps, diarrhea), and dermal photosensitivity (increased skin sensitivity to sunlight). Tetracycline and other antibiotic medications have been known to cause yeast infections, so be on the lookout for symptoms like vaginal discharge, itching, or discomfort.
This is not a complete list of adverse effects – though these are among the most common. Seek medical attention right away if you experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, visual changes, or yellowing skin while taking tetracycline.
As with all prescription medication, be sure to inform the prescribing doctor about any medical conditions you have been previously diagnosed with, as well as any medication/ supplements you are currently taking before starting treatment with tetracycline. Tetracycline can interact with other forms of medication and substances, causing potentially serious side effects or life-threatening allergic reactions. Drug interactions can occur with blood thinners such as warfarin, certain retinoids, penicillin, and proton pump inhibitors among others.
Antacids and supplements containing calcium and magnesium can reduce the amount of tetracycline that your body absorbs, so be sure to take tetracycline 1–2 hours before or 1–2 hours after taking antacids or supplements.
Using tetracycline can cause your skin to become sensitive to sunlight or ultraviolet light, so try to avoid unnecessary exposure to the sun or UV rays (tanning beds) and do your best to wear protective clothing, sunglasses, or sunscreen that is SPF 15 or higher. Call your doctor if you notice redness, swelling, or blistering as a result of sun exposure while on tetracycline.
Oral contraceptives (birth control pills) with estrogen can lose effectiveness when combined with tetracycline, so unplanned pregnancy can occur.
In addition, let your doctor know if you are breastfeeding, pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant before starting treatment with this medication.
