Always follow your doctor’s prescription. Typically, adults take one 100 mg capsule twice daily, 12 hours apart. Take Doxycycline with a full glass of water. Avoid taking it with dairy products, antacids, or iron supplements, as these can reduce absorption.
Adjustments for Specific Conditions
Your doctor may adjust your dosage based on your specific condition and health status. For example, treatment duration varies depending on the infection. Some infections require a shorter course, while others may need longer treatment. Children’s dosages are determined by weight and age–never administer adult dosages to children without explicit medical guidance.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double the dose to catch up. If you experience side effects like nausea, stomach upset, or diarrhea, inform your doctor immediately. Consistent medication is key to successful treatment, but safety is paramount.
