Doxycycline is a tetracycline antibiotic. It inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, thereby stopping bacterial growth. It is generally bacteriostatic and effective against a broad range of susceptible organisms.

Not recommended in pregnancy and in children below 8 years due to risk of teeth discoloration and effects on bone growth. Use with caution in liver disease, history of oesophageal irritation/ulcer, and in patients with myasthenia gravis. Can cause severe sun sensitivity—use sunscreen and avoid excessive sunlight. Stop and seek medical help if severe diarrhoea, allergic reaction, or signs of intracranial hypertension (persistent headache/blurred vision) occur.
