Description

Adoxa 100mg tablets, manufactured by Pharma Health, contain Doxycycline, a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. This medication is commonly prescribed for respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, and skin or soft tissue infections. Doxycycline works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, helping to control and eliminate infections. Adoxa 100mg provides effective treatment for both acute and chronic bacterial conditions and is an essential option for managing infections that are resistant to other antibiotics.

Functions

Doxycycline, the active ingredient in Adoxa 100mg, functions by interfering with the bacteria's ability to produce proteins essential for their growth. By blocking protein synthesis, it prevents bacteria from multiplying and spreading. This action makes Doxycycline an effective treatment for a wide range of infections, including respiratory infections (such as pneumonia), skin infections, urinary tract infections, and other soft tissue infections. Additionally, Doxycycline can be used to treat certain sexually transmitted infections and prevent malaria in high-risk areas.

Precautions

Adoxa 100mg should be taken with caution by individuals with liver impairment, as the medication is metabolized by the liver. If you have a history of kidney disease or myasthenia gravis (a neuromuscular disorder), consult your doctor before use. It's important to take the medication with a full glass of water and avoid taking it just before bed to prevent irritation of the esophagus. Always avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or UV light during treatment, as Doxycycline increases sensitivity to the sun, leading to a higher risk of sunburn.

Side Effects

Like all medications, Adoxa 100mg can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include gastrointestinal upset, such as nausea or diarrhea, and inflammation or ulcers of the esophagus. Skin rashes, photosensitivity (sensitivity to sunlight), liver dysfunction, and blood disorders may also occur. Serious side effects, including tooth discoloration, enamel hypoplasia, and superinfections like oral thrush, have been reported, though they are rare. If you experience any unusual or severe symptoms, such as difficulty swallowing, severe headache, or persistent skin reactions, seek medical attention immediately.

Cautions

Adoxa 100mg should not be taken during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, as it can affect the developing fetus or infant. Alcohol should also be avoided while using this antibiotic, as it may interfere with its effectiveness or increase the risk of side effects. Individuals with a history of yeast infections, kidney diseases, or myasthenia gravis should avoid this medication, as it may worsen these conditions. Prolonged use of antibiotics like Doxycycline can increase the risk of developing a secondary infection, such as vaginal yeast infections or oral thrush. Always follow the prescribed dosage and consult your doctor before starting or stopping this medication to ensure its safe use.
