PRESCRIPTION DRUG
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain effectiveness of doxycycline hyclate and other antibacterial drugs, doxycycline hyclate should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy. Doxycycline is indicated for the treatment of the following infections: - Rocky Mountain spotted fever, typhus fever and the typhus group, Q fever, rickettsialpox, and tick fevers caused by Rickettsiae. - Respiratory tract infections caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae . - Lymphogranuloma venereum caused by Chlamydia trachomatis . - Psittacosis (ornithosis) caused by Chlamydophila psittaci . - Trachoma caused by Chlamydia trachomatis , although the infectious agent is not always
Doxycycline hyclate tablets, USP (equivalent to 100 mg doxycycline) are round, film-coated, light orange tablets imprinted "DAN " and "5553 " supplied in bottles of: Recommended storage: Store below 30°C (86°F). Dispense in a tight, light-resistant container with child-resistant closure. PACKAGED BY: AIDAREX PHARMACEUTICALS LLC, CORONA CA, 92880 Revised on: 08/2016. Hyperpigmentation of the thyroid has been produced by members of the tetracycline class in the following species: in rats by oxytetracycline, doxycycline, tetracycline PO4 , and methacycline; in minipigs by doxycycline, minocycline, tetracycline PO4 , and methacycline; in dogs by doxycycline and minocycline; in monkeys by minocycline. Minocycline, tetracycline PO4 , methacycline, doxycycline, tetracycline base, oxytetracycline HCl, and tetracycline HCl were goitrogenic in rats fed a low iodine diet. This goitrogenic effect was accompanied by high radioactive iodine uptake. Administration of minocycline also produced a large goiter with high radioiodine uptake in rats fed a relatively high iodine diet. Treatment of various animal species with this class of drugs has also resulted in the induction of thyroid hyperplasia in the following: in rats and dogs (minocycline); in chickens (chlortetracycline); and in rats and mice (oxytetracycline). Adrenal gland hyperplasia has been observed in goats and rats treated with oxytetracycline.
