Always follow your doctor’s prescription. Typical dosages vary depending on the infection being treated. For adults, a common regimen is 100 mg twice daily for the first day, followed by 100 mg once daily thereafter. Children’s dosages are determined by weight and the specific infection.
Take doxycycline with a full glass of water, preferably on an empty stomach (at least one hour before or two hours after meals). Food can reduce absorption.
Complete the entire course of antibiotics, even if you feel better before the prescribed medication is finished. Stopping early may lead to treatment failure and potential resistance.
Possible side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and photosensitivity. Report any unusual symptoms to your doctor immediately.
