Doxycin (doxycycline)

Doxycin is an oral antibiotic containing the active ingredient doxycycline, which belongs to a group of antibiotics called the tetracyclines. It is an antibiotic that has the ability to inhibit the growth of a wide variety of bacteria and certain other organisms. It prevents bacteria from producing proteins that are essential to them. Without these proteins the bacteria cannot grow, replicate and increase in numbers.

Common side effects of oral antibiotics include:
- nausea or vomiting
- diarrhea
- allergic reaction
- yeast infections (eating live yogurt may help counter-act this side-effect
- can cause the skin to react abnormally to direct sunlight and UV light, causing an exagerated sunburn reaction.
