DOXYCLEAR CAP

Distributor inventory | Capsule

Bacterial infections (only if it contains doxycycline; exact indication depends on confirmed composition).

If this product contains doxycycline, it is a tetracycline antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit. This stops growth of susceptible bacteria and helps clear infection.

Capsule: take exactly as prescribed. Commonly taken with a full glass of water; avoid lying down for 30 minutes after taking. Often advised to take 1–2 hours before/after milk, antacids or iron supplements; timing with food depends on tolerance and prescriber advice.

nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach pain, loss of appetite, headache, dizziness, photosensitivity (sun sensitivity), skin rash

Composition/strength not confirmed from available data—verify label before dispensing. If doxycycline: avoid use in pregnancy and in children <8 years unless specifically advised (risk of tooth discoloration/bone effects). May cause photosensitivity—use sun protection. Take with plenty of water; risk of oesophagitis if taken without water or just before lying down. Use caution in liver disease; stop and seek care for severe allergy, severe diarrhoea, or signs of intracranial hypertension (severe headache/visual changes).

If doxycycline: antacids/aluminium-magnesium products, calcium supplements/dairy, iron, zinc (reduce absorption); isotretinoin/retinoids (increased risk of intracranial hypertension); warfarin (may increase anticoagulant effect); penicillins (possible reduced efficacy); enzyme inducers like phenytoin/carbamazepine/barbiturates (may reduce doxycycline levels); oral typhoid vaccine (reduced response).
