Doxt S is utilized for treating bacterial infections in the body, including acne, interstitial cystitis, chlamydia, pelvic inflammatory disease, inhalational anthrax, and other ailments.
Some individuals have taken Doxt S, which contains Doxycycline, as a preventive measure against malaria when traveling to regions with a high incidence of the disease. However, some have reported experiencing side effects from this treatment. It is recommended that you consult your doctor before proceeding with this option. Doxt S does not work against viral infections such as the common cold or influenza.
The usual dosage for adults is one tablet per day. The appropriate dosage will vary depending on the condition for which Doxt S is prescribed. Following your doctor's instructions is advised. It is recommended to take Doxt S with a large glass of water to avoid stomach irritation and ideally on an empty stomach, one hour before or two hours after a meal. If you experience stomach upset, you may take it with food. Do not crush or break the tablet.
The most common side effects include: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, inflammation of the mouth or tongue, enterocolitis, and increased sensitivity of the skin to sunlight.
In general, using antibiotics as preventive measures is not advisable. The immune system can develop resistance to antibiotics, which diminishes their effectiveness in combating infections. Additionally, oral contraceptives containing estrogen may not function effectively while on Doxt S, and alternative contraception methods may be necessary during this time.
It is not recommended to take Doxt S during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. You should discuss with your doctor about alternative medications or specific dosage adjustments that could lower the risk of harm to your baby.
