How Doxycycline works

Doxycycline works by inhibiting the growth and replication of bacteria. It does this by binding to the bacterial ribosome, preventing the synthesis of proteins that are essential for the bacteria's survival.

When to consult your doctor

Consult your doctor if you experience:

• Skin sensitivity to light (skin rash, itching, redness or severe sunburn when out in sunlight or after using a sun bed)
• Sudden wheeziness, trouble breathing, chest pain, fever, swelling of eyelids, face or lips, rash or itching (especially affecting the whole body)
• Serious bowel inflammation (upset stomach, loss of appetite, severe, persistent or bloody diarrhoea associated with stomach pain or fever)
• Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (fever, swollen lymph nodes, skin rash)
• Benign intracranial hypertension (headache, vomiting, visual disturbances including blurred or double vision, a localized defect in the visual field bordered by an area of normal vision and possible vision loss, in some cases, even permanent)
• Serious disorder with widespread severe blistering of the skin, mouth, eyes and genitals

• Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (areas with redness and swelling on body along with fever)
• Toxic epidermal necrolysis (painful red area without blister formation which spreads quickly and causes skin to peel, fever, chills)
