2 + (NUMBER OF DAYS YOU ARE STAYING IN YOUR COUNTRY OF DESTINATION) + 28
Example 1: if you are travelling for 23 days the total number of capsules is calculated as 2 + 23 + 28 = 53
Example 2: if you are travelling for 37 days the total number of tablets is calculated as 2 + 37 + 28 = 67
Please note this is a generic product and the brand you receive will be dependent on availability.
Doxycycline has been found clinically effective in the treatment of a variety of infections caused by susceptible strains of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and certain other micro- organisms. It is also used for the prevention of malaria.
Take one capsule daily starting 2 days before you travel to the risk region and for 4 weeks after you leave the region. Take your capsules with food and at the same time each day. If you miss a dose, take one as soon as you remember then carry on as before (you may have to get more capsules). Never take two doses at the same time. Heartburn is common if capsules release their contents into the gullet so they should be taken with a full glass of water and preferably while standing upright and not just before going to lie down in bed.
Talk to your doctor before taking Doxycycline if you:
• are likely to be exposed to strong sunlight or ultraviolet light (e.g. on a sunbed)
• have liver problems or are taking medicines which affect your liver
• have severe kidney problems
• have myasthenia gravis (a disease which causes unusual tiredness and weakness of certain muscles, particularly in the eyelid, difficulty chewing and swallowing and slurred speech)
• have porphyria (a rare genetic disease of blood pigments)
• have systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) a condition characterised by a rash (especially on the face), hair loss, fever, malaise and joint
pain. This condition may be worsened by taking Doxycycline.
• have diarrhoea or usually get diarrhoea when you take antibiotics or have suffered from problems with your stomach or intestines. If you develop severe or prolonged or bloody diarrhoea during or after using doxycycline tell your doctor immediately since it may be necessary to interrupt the treatment. This may be a sign of bowel inflammation (pseudomembranous colitis) which can occur following treatment with antibiotics.
You should not use Doxycycline during periods of tooth development (pregnancy, infancy or in children below 8 years old) as such use may lead to permanent discolouration (yellow-grey-brown) or affect the proper growth of the teeth. There may be circumstances (e.g. severe or
life-threatening conditions), where your physician may decide that the benefits outweigh this risk in children below 8 years and Doxycycline should be prescribed.
Most of these side effects are infrequent but if they persist or are troublesome you should see your doctor.
• Inflammation and/or ulcers of the gastrointestinal tract (symptoms may include sore mouth, indigestion and difficulty swallowing)
• Feeling or being sick, diarrhoea
• Loss of appetite
• Soreness and itching of the rectal and/or genital area
• Yeast infection around the anus or genitals
The list of side effects mentioned above is not complete. If you should suffer from any of these side effects or any other undesired effect please tell your doctor or pharmacist. Do not be alarmed by this list of possible side effects. You may not experience any of them.
