Product Details

Medox 100mg Capsules contain Doxycycline, a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic effective against a wide range of bacterial infections. Doxycycline works by inhibiting the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions, effectively halting their growth and spread. It is commonly prescribed for the treatment of respiratory tract infections, skin infections, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and other bacterial conditions.

Purpose

The primary purposes of Medox 100mg Capsules include:

• Respiratory Tract Infections: Effective in treating infections such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and sinusitis.
• Skin Infections: Helps manage conditions like acne, rosacea, and bacterial skin infections.
• Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): Commonly used to treat chlamydia, syphilis, and gonorrhea.
• Malaria Prophylaxis: Used as a preventive treatment against malaria in regions where the disease is common.
• Other Infections: Treats infections caused by Rickettsia, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, and other susceptible bacteria.

Warnings

Medox 100mg Capsules should be used cautiously in individuals with a known allergy to Doxycycline or other tetracycline antibiotics. It is important to inform your healthcare provider of your complete medical history, especially if you have a history of liver or kidney disease, esophageal disorders, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Doxycycline can cause photosensitivity; therefore, avoid prolonged sun exposure, tanning beds, or ultraviolet light. Use adequate sun protection when outdoors.

Less common but more serious side effects may involve allergic reactions (such as rash, itching, swelling), difficulty swallowing, severe headaches, blurred vision, and changes in urine output.

If you experience persistent or worsening symptoms or any severe side effects, seek immediate medical attention.
