Give as directed by your veterinarian. Follow the instructions printed on the prescription label. Store doxycycline at room temperature. Be sure to complete the prescription to ensure a full recovery, even if your pet seems to be improving, unless instructed otherwise by your veterinarian. Allow your pet access to plenty of water. Doxycycline can be given with or without food but should not be given with dairy products.
Keep out of the reach of children and pets. Do not use in animals with a known sensitivity to doxycycline. Do not use in pregnant animals. Let your veterinarian know if your pet is on any other medications, as interactions with certain medicines can occur. Do not administer any calcium-containing medications, antacids, laxatives, or multivitamins within 2 hours of the last doxycycline dose. Notify your veterinarian if your animal suffers from kidney or liver disease. Doxycycline may increase skins sensitivity to sunlight. Store at room temperature. Store protected from light and moisture.
Allergic reactions and serious side effects are rare, but in the case of an allergic reaction or a serious side effect you should stop doxycycline treatment and seek veterinary attention. Some common signs of allergic reactions and serious side effects are hives, breathing difficulty, facial swelling, loss of appetite, or dark colored urine.
Should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.
Doxycycline should not be used in animals allergic to it or other tetracycline antibiotics. Use with caution in animals with impaired liver or kidney function. Do not use in pregnant, nursing, or growing animals since this medication may cause slowing of bone growth and discoloration of teeth. Give antacids, vitamin and mineral combinations, iron, or Pepto-Bismol at least 1 hour before or 4 hours after giving doxycycline. Use caution when given with digoxin or warfarin. Doxycycline is not affected by food.
Keep out of reach of children and pets.Doxycycline should not be given with other medications that may interfere with the drug. Give doxycycline with some water unless your veterinarian indicates that you may be anomolous.
Do not give doxycycline for more than 10 days unless a doctor has prescribed it. In very small amounts, bacteria may become resistant to the antibiotic and your pet may become resistant. Giving the infection at the time of giving the infection may lead to resistance. Give time for the diarrhea to subside. A few days to weeks after giving the infection, call your veterinarian if your pet is still sick. If your pet cannot call your veterinarian, you should return to your veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment. Do not administer doxycycline to a pregnant or nursing animal.
Some common side effects are mild to moderate in severity. While most of these side effects are mild, it is important to have a very serious reaction if this treatment is used with a known sensitivity to doxycycline.
Malaria is a serious tropical disease spread by mosquitoes. If it isn’t diagnosed and treated promptly, it can be fatal.
A single mosquito bite is all it takes for someone to become infected.
Symptoms of malaria
It’s important to be aware of the symptoms of malaria if you’re travelling to areas where there’s a high risk of the disease. Symptoms include:
a high temperature (fever) sweats and chills headaches vomiting muscle pains diarrhoea Symptoms usually appear between 7 and 18 days after becoming infected, but in some cases the symptoms may not appear for up to a year, or occasionally even longer.
When to seek medical attention
Seek medical help immediately if you develop symptoms of malaria during or after a visit to an area where the disease is found.
Malaria risk areas
Malaria is found in more than 100 countries, mainly in tropical regions of the world, including:
large areas of Africa and Asia Central and South America Haiti and the Dominican Republic parts of the Middle East some Pacific islands
Thehas more information about the risk of malaria in specific countries.
Preventing malaria
Many cases of malaria can be avoided. An easy way to remember is the ABCD approach to prevention:
Awareness of risk – find out whether you’re at risk of getting malaria before travelling Bite prevention – avoid mosquito bites by using insect repellent, covering your arms and legs, and using an insecticide-treated mosquito net Check whether you need to take malaria prevention tablets – if you do, make sure you take the right antimalarial tablets at the right dose, and finish the course Diagnosis – seek immediate medical advice if you develop malaria symptoms, as long as up to a year after you return from travelling
Side effects
Like all medicines, doxycycline can cause side effects, although not everyone gets them.
Common side effects These common side effects happen in around 1 in 10 people. Keep taking the medicine, but talk to your doctor or pharmacist if these side effects bother you or don’t go away:
a headache feeling sick or vomiting being sensitive to sunlight Serious side effects Serious side effects are rare and happen in less than 1 in 1,000 people.
Call a doctor straight away if you get:
Bruising or bleeding you can’t explain (including nosebleeds), a sore throat, a high temperature (38C or above) and you feel tired or generally unwell – these can be signs of blood problems.
Severe diarrhoea (perhaps with stomach cramps) that contains blood or mucus, or lasts longer than 4 days ringing or buzzing in your ears
Serious skin reactions or rashes, including irregular, round red patches, peeling, blisters, skin ulcers, or swelling of the skin that looks like burns – these could be signs of a rare reaction to the medicine called Stevens-Johnson Syndrome
Yellow skin or the whites of your eyes go yellow – this could be a sign of liver problems joint or muscle pain that has started since you began taking doxycycline
Headache, vomiting and problems with your vision – these could be signs of pressure around your brain (intracranial hypertension)
A fingernail coming away from its base – this could be a reaction to sunlight called photo-onycholysis
A sore or swollen mouth, lips or tongue
Severe pain in your tummy, with or without bloody diarrhoea, feeling sick and being sick – these can be signs of pancreatitis difficulty or pain when you swallow, a sore throat, acid reflux, a smaller appetite or chest pain which gets worse when you eat – these could be signs of an inflamed food pipe (oesophagitis) or oesophageal ulcer
Serious allergic reactions
Allergic reactions to doxycycline are common and occur in more than 1 in 100 people.
These are not all the side effects of doxycycline.
You can report any suspected side effect to the UK.

Tet-On Induces Gene Expressionis a system developed to identify genes that are expressed in response to tetracycline stress. It uses a system of two steps, which involves a first step using a tetracycline promoter. The tetracycline promoter is a set of sites for the tetracycline molecule, which binds to the promoter of a target gene inducible gene. The tetracycline molecule binds to the promoter of the target gene, causing it to be transcriptionally induced. The tetracycline molecule binds to the promoter of the tetracycline-regulated gene in a non-tetracycline-responsive manner. A tetracycline promoter provides a strong, selective, and reversible induction. The system has been shown to be inducible in the presence of tetracycline, but not in the presence of dibutyryl-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). The tetracycline derivative has a strong binding ability to the tetracycline-responsive promoter, allowing induction of the gene in response to tetracycline stress. It is a derivative of the TET-On family of transcription factors. The Tet-On system has been found to have many properties, including induction of genes, gene activation, and the ability to express a variety of genes.has been shown to have many properties. For example, tetracycline is a strong inhibitor of the transcription of a gene that is controlled by a tetracycline-responsive promoter. It has been shown to be able to induce the expression of a gene that is controlled by tetracycline-responsive promoters. It has also been shown to have a strong induction activity, making it an attractive system for inducible gene expression.also has been shown to have many properties, including induction of genes, gene activation, and the ability to express a variety of genes.is also an inducible system that can be used to determine the level of gene expression. It has a strong, selective and reversible expression profile. The system has been shown to be inducible in the presence of tetracycline, but not in the presence of doxycycline, which is the other tetracycline-responsive promoter inducible system.has been shown to have many properties, including induction of genes, gene activation, and the ability to express a variety of genes.
