How To Use
  • Take each dose with a full glass (8 oz or 240 ml) of water unless your doctor directs you otherwise.
  • Do not lie down for 30 minutes after taking Doryx.
  • Take with food or milk if stomach upset occurs unless your doctor directs you otherwise.
  • Take Doryx 2-3 hours before or after taking any medications containing magnesium, aluminum, or calcium.
  • Some examples include quinapril, didanosine, vitamins/minerals, and antacids.
  • Sucralfate, bismuth subsalicylate, iron, and zinc are also included.
  • These medications bind with doxycycline preventing its full absorption.
  • The liquid suspension form of Doryx must be shaken well before using.
  • Antibiotics work best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level.
  • Do this by taking the medicine at evenly spaced intervals throughout the day and night.
  • Continue to take Doryx until the full prescribed amount is finished even if symptoms disappear after a few days.
  • Stopping the medication too early may allow bacteria to continue to grow resulting in a relapse of the infection.

Side Effects
  • Doryx may cause stomach upset, diarrhea, nausea, headache or vomiting.
  • If these symptoms persist or worsen, notify your doctor.
  • Very unlikely but report: stomach pain, yellowing of the eyes or skin, vision changes, mental changes.
  • Doxycycline increases sensitivity to sunlight.
  • In the unlikely event you have an allergic reaction to Doryx, seek immediate medical attention.

  • If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Precautions
  • Tell your doctor your medical history, especially of: liver problems, kidney problems, allergies (especially drug allergies), trouble swallowing, esophagus problems (e.g., hiatal hernia, GERD).
  • Use of Doryx for prolonged or repeated periods may result in a secondary infection (e.g., oral, bladder or vaginal yeast infection).
  • Doxycycline may make you more prone to sunburn.
  • Wear protective clothing and a sunscreen if needed.
  • Doryx should not be used by children up to 8 years of age because its use may permanently discolor their teeth or cause other problems.
  • Caution is advised in older children also.

  • Do not double-up the dose.

Drug Interactions
  • Inform your doctor about all the medicines you may use (both prescription and nonprescription), especially of: vitamins/minerals (e.g., magnesium, aluminum, calcium, iron, zinc), quinapril, didanosine, bismuth subsalicylate, sucralfate, antacids, other antibiotics, live vaccines, warfarin.
