Doxycycline 100mg Capsules - 8 Capsules

Doxycycline 100mg Capsules are an oral tetracycline antibiotic containing doxycycline, supplied here as an 8 capsule pack. The patient leaflet states that doxycycline is used to treat a wide range of infections, including chest, lung or nasal infections, urinary tract infections, soft tissue and skin infections including acne, eye infections, certain sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhoea and syphilis, and some infections linked to tick-borne or contaminated-water exposure. The leaflet also notes that doxycycline may be used to help prevent certain infections in specific circumstances, including malaria, travellers’ diarrhoea, scrub typhus and leptospirosis, when prescribed for those purposes.

Each 100mg capsule contains doxycycline equivalent to 100mg, presented as doxycycline hyclate, and the leaflet describes the 100mg capsules as unmarked, hard, green coloured capsules. The same leaflet confirms that 100mg capsules are available in blister packs of 8, 14 and 50 capsules, so the 8-capsule presentation is part of the licensed pack range for this product.

This is a prescribed antibiotic treatment, so it should only be used for the condition and duration advised by the prescriber. The leaflet stresses that the full course should be taken, even if symptoms begin to improve, because the original infection may still be present and may return if treatment is stopped too early.
