Pharmacology

Doxycycline Hydrochloride may be a semisynthetic tetracycline anti-microbial with wide range action. It is basically a bacteriostatic anti-microbial. It incorporates a comparable range of action to other tetracyclines but in specific is more dynamic against Staphylococcus aureus and Nocardia. The sedate is regularly dynamic against penicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus and against strains of those life forms that are safe to other Tetracyclines. Certain Gram-negative strains of E. coli, Proteus mirabilis and Klebsiella, which are regularly safe to Tetracycline, may be touchy to Doxycycline. In expansion, 70-90% of the different anaerobes are delicate to Doxycycline and Bacteroides fragilis is more likely to be touchy to Doxycycline than to other tetracyclines.

Interaction of Doxy-A 100

Antacids containing aluminum, calcium, or magnesium, as well as iron-containing preparations, reduce tetracycline absorption. Bismuth salicylate also inhibits tetracycline absorption. Doxycycline's half-life is shortened by barbiturates, carbamazepine, and phenytoin. Oral contraception may be less effective if tetracyclines are taken at the same time. Patients on anticoagulant medication may need to adjust their anticoagulant dosages downward. Tetracyclines should never be used in conjunction with penicillin.
