DOXYCYCLINE TABLETS, USP

To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the
effectiveness of
doxycycline tablets and other antibacterial drugs, doxycycline tablets
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 Tablets USP, 150 mg, 100 mg, 75 mg and 50 mg, contain
doxycycline
monohydrate equivalent to 150 mg, 100 mg, 75 mg, or 50 mg of
doxycycline for oral
administration. Inactive ingredients include microcrystalline
cellulose, anhydrous lactose,
corn starch, magnesium stearate, colloidal silicon dioxide, polyvinyl
alcohol, polyethylene
glycol, talc, titanium dioxide, D&C yellow #10 aluminum lake, and FD&C
yellow #6
aluminum lake. The chemical designation of the light-yellow
crystalline powder is 4-
(Dimethylamino)-1,4,4a,5,5a,6,11,12a-octahydro-3,5,10,12,12a-pentahydroxy-6-methyl-
1,11-dioxo-2-naphthacenecarboxamide monohydrate.
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.
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.

volunteers
