Overview

Duopharma Doxycillin 100mg Tablet contains Doxycycline 100mg and is available as a tablet. It is classified as a prescription medicine and may only be obtained with a valid prescription from a registered medical practitioner.

Only product, safety and handling information is published here. Anything beyond that is explained to you directly by your doctor or pharmacist as part of your consultation.

DoctorOnCall is a licensed online pharmacy. Orders for Duopharma Doxycillin 100mg Tablet are processed only after a doctor has assessed your suitability and issued a prescription, and every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is sent out.

Directions for Use

Take Duopharma Doxycillin 100mg Tablet with a full glass of water and remain upright (sitting or standing) for at least 30 minutes afterwards, as lying down too soon can allow the tablet to irritate or ulcerate the oesophagus. Avoid taking it with milk, other dairy products, calcium, iron, antacids, or mineral supplements, as these can bind to doxycycline and reduce how much your body absorbs – space these apart by at least 2-3 hours.

Dosage

The usual adult dose of Duopharma Doxycillin 100mg Tablet is 100mg once or twice daily depending on the type and severity of infection being treated; for long-term acne control, a lower dose is often used over several weeks to months. Your doctor will determine the exact dose and duration for your condition, and the full course should be completed even if you feel better before it ends.

Side Effects

  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Skin sensitivity to sunlight (photosensitivity)
  • Loss of appetite
  • Headache
  • Temporary discoloration of teeth in children

Contraindications

  • Children under 8 years of age (can cause permanent tooth discolouration and affect bone growth)
  • Pregnancy (can affect the developing baby’s teeth and bones)
  • Severe liver impairment

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Dairy products, calcium, iron, antacids, and mineral supplements reduce doxycycline absorption – take at least 2-3 hours apart
  • May reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives – use an additional non-hormonal method during treatment
  • May enhance the blood-thinning effect of warfarin, requiring closer monitoring
  • Increased sun sensitivity means combining with other photosensitising medicines raises the risk of sunburn
