indications thérapeutiques:

To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain effectiveness of doxycycline and other antibacterial drugs, doxycycline 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 eliminated

RX ONLY
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the
effectiveness of doxycycline and
other antibacterial drugs, doxycycline should be used only to treat or
prevent infections that are proven
or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria.
DESCRIPTION
Doxycycline is a broad-spectrum antibacterial synthetically derived
from oxytetracycline. Doxycycline
Capsules USP, 100 mg, 75 mg, and 50 mg capsules contain doxycycline
monohydrate equivalent to 100
mg, 75 mg, or 50 mg of doxycycline for oral administration. The
chemical designation of the light-
yellow crystalline powder is alpha-6-deoxy-5-oxytetracycline.
Structural formula:
Doxycycline has a high degree of lipid solubility and a low affinity
for calcium binding. It is highly
stable in normal human serum. Doxycycline will not degrade into an
epianhydro form.
Inert ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate,
microcrystalline cellulose and sodium
starch glycolate. Hard gelatin capsule contains black iron oxide,
gelatin, red iron oxide, titanium
dioxide and yellow iron oxide. The capsules are printed with edible
ink containing black iron oxide,
potassium hydroxide, propylene glycol, shellac and titanium dioxide.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Tetracyclines are readily absorbed and are bound to plasma proteins in
varying degrees. They are
concentrated by the liver in the bile and excreted in the urine and
feces at high concentrations in a
biologically active form. Doxycycline is virtually completely absorbed
after oral administration.
Following a 200 mg dose of doxycycline monohydrate, 24 normal adult
volunteers averaged the
