Description

What is Doxycycline & how does it treat Chlamydia

Doxycycline 100mg capsules are the current recommended antibiotic treatment for Chlamydia, an STD infection. When you have been exposed, and are experiencing symptoms such as pain or bleeding after sex, you should get tested for Chlamydia. Doxycycline has a low chance for bacterial resistance; it thus increases the chances of effective treatment. You require a doctor's prescription before purchasing Doxycycline.

Warnings

Refrain from taking Doxycycline if you:

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have used it before and suffered an allergic reaction or are allergic to the ingredients

Seek a doctor's advice if you have:

  • Liver or kidney problems.
  • Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) condition.
  • Myasthenia gravis condition.

Doxycycline may make the conditions above worse. It should not be taken with milk or antacids as they reduce absorption. Avoid sexual activity for seven days after treatment to allow the vaginal discharge to get back to normal.

Directions

Doxycycline is a wide-spectrum antibiotic that treats most bacteria-caused infections. When administered for an STI, specifically Chlamydia, the drug is taken twice daily for seven days. It would be best if you took Doxycycline with or after food and with a full glass of water. Even when the symptoms like penis Itching and burning pain when urinating disappear, you should always complete the course.

Ingredients

Each Doxycycline capsule contains 100mg Doxycycline as the active ingredient. Each capsule also contains gelatin, magnesium stearate, shellac glaze, sodium lauryl sulphate, starch, E104, E127, E131, E171, E172, and propylene glycol.
