AGAINST GRAM-POSITIVE BACTERIA IT IS ABOUT TWICE AS POTENT AS TETRACYCLINE, EXCEPT THAT IT IS UP TO 10 TIMES AS POTENT AGAINST STREP VIRIDANS. FURTHERMORE, STRAINS OF STREP FAECALIS THAT ARE RESISTANT TO OTHER TETRACYCLINES MAY BE SENSITIVE TO DOXYCYCLINE.

DOSE OF DOXYCYCLINE FOR ADULTS IS 100 MG EVERY 12 HR DURING FIRST 24 HR, FOLLOWED BY 100 MG ONCE DAY, OR TWICE DAILY WHEN SEVERE INFECTION IS PRESENT. CHILDREN OVER 8 YR SHOULD RECEIVE 4-5 MG/KG/DAY, DIVIDED INTO 2 EQUAL DOSES GIVEN @ 12 HR INTERVAL DURING FIRST DAY, AFTER WHICH SINGLE DOSE OF HALF THIS AMT IS ADMIN.

AFFINITY OF DOXYCYCLINE FOR METALLIC IONS MAY NOT BE AS GREAT AS THAT OF OTHER TETRACYCLINES SINCE IT CAN BE GIVEN WITH FOOD OR MILK WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT INACTIVATION OR IMPAIRMENT OF ABSORPTION.

Doxycycline is indicated for the treatment of various infections by gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, aerobes and anaerobes, as well other types of bacteria. A complete list of organisms is available in the FDA label and in the "indications" section of this drug entry. The following are some of the major infections that may be treated with doxycycline: Rocky mountain spotted fever, typhus fever and the typhus group, Q fever, rickettsialpox, and tick fevers caused by Rickettsiae Respiratory tract infections caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae Lymphogranuloma venereum caused by Chlamydia trachomatis Psittacosis (ornithosis) caused by Chlamydia psittaci Trachoma caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, although the infectious agent is not always eliminated as judged by immunofluorescence Inclusion conjunctivitis caused by Chlamydia trachomatis Uncomplicated urethral, endocervical or rectal infections in adults caused by Chlamydia trachomatis Nongonococcal urethritis caused by Ureaplasma urealyticum Relapsing fever due to Borrelia recurrentis **A note regarding anti-microbial resistance** It is important to note that doxycycline is not the drug of choice in the treatment of any type of staphylococcal infection. Up to 44 percent of strains of Streptococcus pyogenes and 74 percent of Streptococcus faecalis have been found to be resistant to tetracyclines. Therefore, tetracyclines such as doxycycline should not be used to treat streptococcal infections unless the microorganism has been demonstrated to be susceptible.
FDA Label
Treatment of periodontal disease in dogs.
Periodontal pocket probing depths > =4 mm are evidence of disease that may be responsive to treatment with the Doxirobe Gel. Use of this product as directed should result in attachment level gains, periodontal pocket depth reductions, local antimicrobial effect and improved gingival health. Noticeable improvements in these parameters should be evident within 2-4 weeks following treatment. The response in individual dogs is dependent on the severity of the condition and rigor of adjunctive therapy.
The tetracyclines, including doxycycline, are mainly bacteriostatic and are thought to exert antimicrobial effects by the inhibition of protein synthesis. Bacteriostatic antibiotics suppress the growth of bacteria, or keep them in the stationary phase of growth. The tetracyclines, including doxycycline, have a similar antimicrobial spectrum of activity against a variety of gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms, treating numerous infectious diseases. Cross-resistance of these microorganisms to tetracyclines is a common occurrence. Doxycycline shows favorable intra-cellular penetration, with bacteriostatic activity on a wide range of bacteria. Doxycycline has antiparasitic effects,,. In addition to the above effects, this drug has demonstrated anti-inflammatory actions, which may help to manage inflammatory conditions such as rosacea.
Anti-Bacterial Agents
Substances that inhibit the growth or reproduction of BACTERIA. (See all compounds classified as Anti-Bacterial Agents.)
Antimalarials

Absorption
Tetracyclines, such as doxycycline, are readily absorbed and are bound to plasma proteins by varying degrees. Doxycycline is almost completely absorbed after oral administration. This drug is highly lipid soluble and has a low affinity for calcium binding. Absorption is not significantly affected by the concomitant ingestion of food or milk. Peak serum levels of approximately 2.6 mcg/ml are reached at 2 hours following a 200 mg tablet oral dose.
Route of Elimination
Mainly the urine and feces as active and unchanged drug. Between 40% and 60% of an administered dose can be accounted for in the urine by 92 hours, and approximately 30% can be accounted for in the feces.
Volume of Distribution
Doxycycline diffuses readily into most body tissues, fluid and/or cavities and the volume of distribution has been measured as 0.7 L/kg.
Clearance
The excretion of doxycycline by the kidney is about 40% over 72 hours in individuals with normal kidney function (creatinine clearance approximately 75 mL/min). This rate may fall as low as 1-5% over 72 hours in individuals with severe renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance below 10 mL/min). Some clinical studies have shown no major difference in serum half-life of doxycycline (range 18-22 hours) in patients with normal and severely impaired renal function. Hemodialysis does not affect serum half-life of doxycycline.

Doxycycline is metabolized in the liver and gastrointestinal tract and concentrated in bile,. Major metabolic pathways of doxycycline have not been identified, however, enzyme inducers have been found to decrease the half-life of doxycycline.

Although it was previously suggested that doxycycline is partially metabolized in the liver, recent studies indicate that the drug is not metabolized but is partially deactivated in the intestine by chelate formation.

DOXYCYCLINE IS LONG-ACTING, HAVING SERUM HALF-LIFE OF 15-17 HR AFTER INITIAL DOSE & ABOUT 22 HR AFTER 4TH DAY OF TREATMENT.

The serum half-life of doxycycline is 14-17 hr after a single dose and 22-24 hr after multiple doses in patients with normal renal function. In patients with severe renal impairment, the serum half-life of doxycycline is reported to be 18-26 hr after a single dose, and 20-30 hr after multiple doses. It appears that serum half-life of doxycycline is not altered in patients undergoing hemodialysis. In patients with normal renal function, approximately 20-26% of a single oral or iv dose of doxycycline is excreted in urine and 20-40% is excreted in feces within 48 hr as active drug. In patients with creatinine clearances less than 10 ml/minute, the fraction of doxycycline excreted in urine within 72 hr may decrease to about 1-5%.

In bacterial replication, an interaction that is important for translation initiation of proteins occurs at the 3 end of the 16S rRNA, found on the ribosome on the 30S subunit,,. The 30S subunit is the smaller subunit of the ribosome of prokaryotes, including bacteria. Tetracyclines such as doxycycline are thought to inhibit translation by binding to the 16S rRNA portion of the ribosome, preventing binding of tRNA to the RNA-30S bacterial ribosomal subunit, which is necessary for the delivery of amino acids for protein synthesis. As a result of the above actions, the initiation of protein synthesis by polyribosome formation is blocked. This stops the replication of bacteria and produces a bacteriostatic effect.
