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.

In a study published online Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association, a group of doctors found that more than half of patients in the United States taking the antibiotic doxycycline developed.
The study, led by researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University School of Medicine, is the latest development in a growing number of cases of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the United States.
The antibiotic, tetracycline, is a bacteriostatic antibiotic that has been used to treat many types of infections, including pneumonia, sinusitis, urinary tract infections, and skin infections. It’s commonly prescribed in combination with other antibiotics for those who are susceptible to them.
Tetracycline has been found to be especially effective against gram-positive and some gram-negative bacteria, such as strep throat, which are often resistant to it.
“Our research shows that doxycycline is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria,” said Dr. Jeffrey B. Reiner, an antibiotic research professor at Duke. “This study shows that we can now prescribe doxycycline to treat these infections and reduce the spread of the bacteria to others, ultimately decreasing antibiotic resistance.”
Tetracycline is an antibiotic, but it’s also sometimes used as a preventive measure against malaria, a disease that can lead to a missed dose or anaphylaxis.
In the past few years, doctors have been prescribing doxycycline as a preventive measure against malaria, but the study wasn’t rigorous.
Researchers found that more than half of the people in the United States taking tetracycline developed pneumonia, as well as an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Some of the bacteria that cause pneumonia and stroke are known to be susceptible to doxycycline, such asStaphylococcus aureusandStreptococcus pneumoniae. But these bacteria have been found resistant to doxycycline.
“This is the latest study that demonstrates the need to consider the broader use of antibiotic antibiotics in the management of people with a history of heart disease,” said, who was not involved in the study.
The findings from the study come as doxycycline is being widely used in the United States.
The U. S. Food and Drug Administration has approved doxycycline as a drug-free antibiotic for a variety of infections, including those with a bacteriologic response to the antibiotic.
“While doxycycline has been shown to be effective for some infections, the data in this study shows that it may not be the most appropriate antibiotic for everyone,” Reiner said. “It may not be safe to use as a preventive measure for people with a history of heart disease or those who are at high risk for coronary artery disease or stroke.”
Reiner and his team have been trying to understand how these bacteria might react to tetracycline, as doxycycline is known to react to other antibiotics, like amoxicillin and erythromycin, which are both antibiotics.
“We know that bacteria react to antibiotics differently, and we’re trying to understand how they might react to tetracyclines, as well,” Reiner said.
One of the researchers who led the study, Dr. Peter L. Ladd, a professor of medical infectious diseases and microbiology at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, had previously been at Duke before completing the study.
Ladd’s work helped to understand the mechanisms by which doxycycline can kill bacteria that are resistant to tetracycline.
“The problem with doxycycline is that it is not an antibiotic,” said Ladd, who had never taken the antibiotic before.
But he and his colleagues believe that the way doxycycline works is that it inhibits the activity of bacterial enzymes called bacterial lipase, which is responsible for breaking down the antibiotic into its active form.
“We don’t know how this is happening right now,” Reiner said.
The researchers’ findings are the first to show that doxycycline can kill bacteria that are resistant to tetracycline.
Ladd and his colleagues are not the first to find out what bacteria might react to tetracycline, but they are likely to be the most important to know about it, he said.
