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.

• 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
• Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction (fever, chills, headache, muscle pain and skin rash that is usually self-limiting)
• Inflammation or ulcers of the gullet
• Blood disorders (tiredness, easy bruising, infections)
• Low blood pressure, increased heart rate
• Joint or muscle pain
• Stomach pain
• Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea (blood in stool, stomach pain, watery stools, dehydration, fever)
• Steven-Johnson syndrome (skin with rashes, blisters, pain along with fever)
• Overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms, including fungi
• 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)
• Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS)
• Intra cranial hypertension (headache, blurred or double vision, loss of vision)
• Angioedema (swelling in face, lips, mouth, throat with difficulty in swallowing and breathing)
• Anaphylactic shock (increased heart rate, over sweating, fall in blood pressure, fainting)
