Overview Doxy 1 UP 500mg Tablet

500mg Doxycycline tablets are a broad-spectrum antibiotic indicated for bacterial infections affecting the respiratory system, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, and eyes in both children and adults. This medication also treats typhoid fever and certain sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea. Administer orally, ideally an hour before or two hours after meals, consistently at prescribed intervals. Complete the entire course of treatment, even with symptom improvement; premature discontinuation risks infection recurrence or exacerbation. Common, typically transient side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, and diarrhea. Persistent or concerning side effects warrant medical consultation. Prior to use, disclose any history of azithromycin-induced cholestatic jaundice or liver impairment, allergies, or cardiac conditions. Pregnant or lactating individuals should seek medical advice before commencing treatment.
