What is Periostat

DoxycyclineThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryDoxycycline is an antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It is a synthetically derived version of the tetracycline family of antibiotics, with fewer side effects than the first-generation tetracyclines. Its effectiveness against specific bacteria can be determined through antibiotic susceptibility testing.

Effectiveness

How Periostat Affects PatientsDoxycycline and other tetracyclines stop bacteria from growing or keep them in a stationary state. They work against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, and these bacteria are often resistant to tetracyclines. Doxycycline is a lipophilic drug, which means it can penetrate cells and has a wide range of effects, such as being antibacterial, antiparasitic, and anti-inflammatory. It has been used to treat skin conditions such as bullous dermatoses and rosacea.
How Periostat works in the bodyDoxycycline stops bacteria from making necessary proteins that allow them to survive and function. It does this by blocking the binding of amino acids to ribosomes, which are responsible for making proteins. Doxycycline also blocks inflammation by preventing calcium-dependent cells from forming and stopping lymphocytes from growing. It also stops an enzyme that produces a molecule that causes inflammation.

When to interrupt dosage

The prescribed dose of Periostat is reliant upon the diagnosed condition, such as Urethritis, Chlamydia trachomatis and Respiratory Tract Infections. The measure of dosage differs, in accordance with the method of delivery (e.g. Capsule or Syrup - Oral) featured in the table underneath.

Periostat Reviews: What are patients saying about Periostat?

5Patient Review

Periostat for Inflammation of the Gums and Mouth
I am a smoker with moderate to advanced periodontal disease. My periodontist performed scaling and root planning with localized surgical treatment. After several years in maintenance my condition began to breakdown. I began using periostat and slowly over the next nine months the periodontist noted a decrease in my bleeding and inflammation as well as my pocket depths. This medication has worked from inside my body to help control the inflammation response to my periodontal infection.

Periostat for Inflammation of the Gums and Mouth
Since having a hysterectomy (not related to periostat), I've been having some serious digestive issues. Bloating, gas, indigestion; the works. I'm currently taking glutamine and probiotics, but I'm not sure if it's the medicine or not. I was on it for years before this happened, and the package did have warnings about long term use.

Periostat for Additional Medication for Inflammation Around the Teeth
After having some dental work done, my dentist prescribed this medication. However, I had to stop taking it because it resulted in blood in my stool. I also had to stop taking other medications (simvastatin, baby aspirin and Chantix) until the condition clears up.
