Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. Typical dosages vary depending on the infection being treated.
Common regimens include:
- For bacterial infections: One 100mg tablet twice daily, for 7-14 days. For certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs): A single dose of 100mg, or a course of 100mg twice daily for a specified period. For acne: A dosage of 50mg to 100mg once or twice daily, depending on severity.
Take Doxycycline hyclate with a full glass of water. Avoid taking it with dairy products, antacids, or iron supplements, as these can reduce absorption.
Timing: Take your dose at roughly the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in your bloodstream. Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not double the dose. Duration: Complete the entire course of antibiotics, even if you feel better before finishing the prescription. This prevents the infection from returning.
Report any unusual side effects to your doctor immediately. This includes severe diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, or allergic reactions.
