DoxycyclineThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryDoxycycline is an antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It is a second-generation tetracycline and is generally less toxic than the first-generation tetracyclines. The type of bacteria and the results of antibiotic susceptibility testing will determine if doxycycline can be used to treat a particular infection.

Effectiveness
How Doryx Affects PatientsDoxycycline is a type of medication that stops bacteria from growing. It is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Doxycycline is able to penetrate the cell membrane and target molecules, helping it to fight off bacteria, parasites, and inflammation. It has been used to treat a variety of skin conditions such as bullous dermatoses and rosacea.
How Doryx works in the bodyDoxycycline works to stop bacteria from making proteins. It does this by blocking the connection between an amino acid and the ribosome, a structure that helps create proteins. As a result, bacteria are unable to make the proteins necessary to survive and function. Doxycycline also works to reduce inflammation by preventing calcium-dependent microtubular assembly and blocking the production of nitric oxide, a molecule that can cause inflammation.
When to interrupt dosage
The advocated dose of Doryx is contingent upon the diagnosed disorder, including Urethritis, Chlamydia trachomatis and Respiratory Tract Infections. The measure of dosage is dependent upon the mechanism of delivery (e.g. Capsule or Syrup - Oral) as stated in the table beneath.Condition

Doryx Reviews: What are patients saying about Doryx?
5Patient Review
4/7/2013 Doryx was great for clearing up my acne, but unfortunately it came with some pretty severe headaches. Thankfully, they stopped as soon as I discontinued use of the medication.
5Patient Review
2/18/2014 My son's acne was really bad, to the point where we decided to try Doryx. He's been taking it for almost three months and there have been great results; all of his acne is gone. The only downside is that it took about five weeks for the medication to start working. However, he has experienced zero side effects from using this drug.
5Patient Review
1/5/2015 This acne medication, which I was prescribed by a dermatologist, has been incredibly successful. It's cleared my face every time I've used it as directed.
5Patient Review
7/3/2013 I suffer from Rosacea. As this is a name brand drug it was more expensive than my usual prescriptions. The doctor gave me a card to get a discount which was time consuming to activate. The pills are like large Pez's and difficult to swallow. After one week on the medication I developed severe itching and had to stop the medication. This eventually became a yeast infection.

3/15/2013 My son started taking this medication and, after six months, he started to lose his hair. Since this was the only new medication he was taking, I stopped giving it to him to see if the hair loss would stop.
3.7Patient Review
12/6/2015 I don't understand why this is in the shape of a LEGO. It's very difficult to swallow and I've almost choked on it multiple times. That being said, it is an effective medication.
3.7Patient Review
1/14/2015 This medicine is effective if taken as directed. It's important to note that you shouldn't consume dairy products within an hour of taking this medication.

9/30/2014 Though this did successfully remove my acne, the increase in headaches and migraines was not worth it.
2.3Patient Review
8/11/2016 While this did help with my acne, the side effects were not worth it. I had daily headaches and my hair started falling out more than normal. I also got some rarer side effects like cdiff, stomach ulcers, and other GI problems. Overall, not a good experience for me.
2Patient Review
4/28/2013 Doryx works great for clearing acne quickly; however, my skin doesn't stay clear after I stop taking it. Additionally, this medication seems to make me more susceptible to sunburns.
1Patient Review
12/9/2013 I had been struggling with acne for years, but Doryx cleared me up within a month and I've only had the occasional pimple since. It's changed my life - would highly recommend to anyone else dealing with adult acne.
