Did you know that your body is home to millions of bacteria? Among them only 20% are harmful and can cause infections. You need not be afraid of those 20% even. You've got doxycycline to treat bacterial infection.
Doxycycline an antibiotic is used to treat a wide spectrum of bacterial infections. It belongs to the class of tetracyclines and is used is prescribed for lyme disease, pneumonia, acne, inhalational anthrax, venereal diseases like gonorrhea and Chlamydia.
How does doxycycline work?
With repeated intake of anti-bacterial drugs, the bacteria develop immunity for the drug. Drugs like vibramycin become ineffective. Doxycycline prevents or rather breaks this immunity and helps such drugs to work. Doxycycline prevents the cell membrane of the bacteria from developing and thus stops further reproduction. This kills the bacteria at the site of infection.
Doxycycline must not be used by children below the age of 8 because this can cause permanent discoloration of the teeth. It can also cause the decrease in the effectiveness of the birth control pills you take presently. So review the drug interactions with the medication you are presently taking and then take doxycycline.
