About Doxicip 100Mg

Doxicip 100Mg belongs to a group of medications called tetracycline antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections such as urinary tract infections, intestinal infections, respiratory infections, eye infections, skin infections, sexually transmitted infections (gonorrhoea, syphilis), and gum infections (periodontitis). Besides this, Doxicip 100Mg may also be used to treat or prevent anthrax.

Doxicip 100Mg contains ‘Doxycycline’ which stops the growth of bacteria by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins necessary for their survival. Thereby, Doxicip 100Mg helps treat bacterial infections. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic which is effective against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria.

Doxicip 100Mg will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. In some cases, Doxicip 100Mg may cause pain, itching, swelling or redness at the site of injection, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea. Most of these side effects of Doxicip 100Mg do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. Please consult your doctor if these side effects become troublesome.

Do not take Doxicip 100Mg if you are allergic to any of the components. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

What if I have taken an overdose of Doxicip 100Mg

Doxicip 100Mg is administered by a healthcare professional in a hospital setting. Hence, the chances of overdose are less. Overdose can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, photosensitivity (skin reaction to the sun), indigestion, loss of appetite and mild rash.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

It would be best to take probiotics after completing the full course of Doxicip 100Mg to restore healthy bacteria in the intestine that may have been killed due to the usage of antibiotics. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yogurt, cheese, sauerkraut and kimchi can help restore the intestine’s good bacteria.

Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria which helps stimulate their growth. Whole-grain bread, and brown rice, should be included in your diet.

Avoid taking too much calcium enriched foods and drinks as it might affect the working of Doxicip 100Mg Inj.

Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages with Doxicip 100Mg as it can make you dehydrated and affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid Doxicip 100Mg in fighting off infections.
