PRESCRIPTION DRUG
Doxycycline 40 mg is indicated for the treatment of only inflammatory lesions (papules and pustules) of rosacea in adult patients. No meaningful effect was demonstrated for generalized erythema (redness) of rosacea. This formulation of doxycycline has not been evaluated in the treatment or prevention of infections. Do not use Doxycycline 40 mg for treating bacterial infections, providing antibacterial prophylaxis, or reducing the numbers or eliminating microorganisms associated with any bacterial disease. To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria as well as to maintain the effectiveness of other antibacterial drugs, Doxycycline 40 mg should be used only as indicated. Doxycycline 40 mg has not been evaluated for the treatment of the erythematous, telangiectatic, or ocular components of rosacea. This drug is contraindicated in persons who have shown hypersensitivity to doxycycline or any other tetracyclines. Risk Summary Doxycycline may cause reversible inhibition of bone growth and permanent discoloration of deciduous teeth when administered during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1 and 5.2) ]. Available data from published studies have not shown a difference in major birth defect risk with doxycycline exposure in the first trimester of pregnancy compared to unexposed pregnancies. Avoid use of Doxycycline 40 mg during the second and third trimester of pregnancy. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2–4% and 15–20%, respectively. Data Human Data Published studies, including epidemiological and observational studies, with use of doxycycline during the first trimester of pregnancy have not identified drug-related increases in major birth defects. The use of tetracycline during tooth development (second and third trimester of pregnancy) may cause permanent discoloration of deciduous teeth (yellow-gray-brown). This adverse reaction is more common during long-term use of the drug but has been observed following repeated short-term courses. Animal Data Results from animal studies indicate that doxycycline crosses the placenta and is found in fetal tissues. Risk Summary Based on available published data, doxycycline is likely to be present in human breast milk but the specific concentration in breastmilk is not clear. There is no information on the effects of doxycycline on the breastfed infant or the effects on milk production. Because there are other antibacterial drug options available to treat rosacea in lactating women and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions, including tooth discoloration and inhibition of bone growth, advise patients that breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with Doxycycline 40 mg and for 5 days after the last dose. Doxycycline 40 mg should not be used in infants and children less than 8 years of age [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. Doxycycline 40 mg has not been studied in children of any age with regard to safety or efficacy, therefore use in children is not recommended. Clinical studies of Doxycycline 40 mg did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and concomitant disease or other drug therapy.
