Name: DOXYCYCLINE
Class: Antibiotic (Tetracycline)
Risk Factor:    DM

Fetal Risk Summary

See Tetracycline.

Breast Feeding Summary

Doxycycline is excreted into breast milk. Oral doxycycline, 200 mg followed after 24 hours by 100 mg, was given to 15 nursing mothers (1). Milk:plasma ratios determined at 3 and 24 hours after the second dose were 0.3 and 0.4, respectively. Mean milk concentrations were 0.77 and 0.38 µg/mL.

Theoretically, dental staining and inhibition of bone growth could occur in breast-fed infants whose mothers were consuming doxycycline. However, this theoretical possibility seems remote, because in infants exposed to a closely related antibiotic, tetracycline, serum levels were undetectable (less than 0.05 µg/mL) (2). The American Academy of Pediatrics considers tetracycline compatible with breast feeding (3). Three potential problems may exist for the nursing infant even though there are no reports in this regard: modification of bowel flora, direct effects on the infant, and interference with the interpretation of culture results if a fever workup is required.

Q&A about Doxycycline

Doxycycline?
I recently started taking the prescription doxycycline for my skin and it makes me really nauseous in the mornings after I take it. I always just take it with water and usually eat breakfast pretty soon after even though I don't feel like eating because I am so sick. Any ideas on how I can prevent this because it really helps my skin and I don't want to stop taking it. Thanks!

I have been taking doxycycline for acne for a few months, and I was wondering if this is bad for my health.

How long after taking Doxycycline can I take ibuprofen?
I took the doxycycline at 11:55 and I want to take ibuprofen for pain. How long do I have to wait?
Kate from Drugs.com
Doxycycline and ibuprofen don't have any known interactions. However, both have a tendency to irritate the stomach so it'll probably be better to take them 2 to 3 hours apart. Both have to be taken immediately after food and with a glass of water.

How long after I stop taking Doxycycline can I go tanning?
I have been taking Doxycycline (an antibiotic) for 3 days. The doc says to stay out of the sun. My last pill I took this morning. I had only 6 pills altogether. When can I start tanning again? I know that it stays in a person's system for a while after they stop taking it. But is that just for people who take a lot of them for a while? I want to tan tomorrow. Would that be possible without me burning?

You should not go tanning regardless of the antibiotics. Tanning leads to not only to an increased risk of cancer (of all types) but also premature aging.

How long does it take for Doxycycline side effects to diminish?
I was giving doxycycline at the hospital via IV for 3 days for a bacterial infection and then sent home with 100mg twice a day. I have had some pretty bad side effects...very tight chest, loss of energy, tight throat and stomach cramping. I took my last dose this morning...can someone that has experienced this please tell me how long this will stay in my system and keep me feeling crumby. Thanks so much.
painfula...
Hey, I'm so sorry. I was on them (pills) for about a week and I had almost the same side effects and they go away in about a day or two.. especially if you rest alot and drink a lot of fluids. Hope you feel better soon. =)

How bad is the sunburn with doxycycline?
I am going on holiday to Madagascar in a few weeks, and we have been prescribed doxycycline to deal with the malaria- but it says it severely increases risk of sunburn. I am a naturally fairly pale, blonde person and I am clearly worried about the burning- how bad is it in reality, particularly in the tropics in August?
Kyle
Madagascar is mostly plane so it will be hard for you to find shade if you are away from the coasts. And the sun does beam down on you for most of the day in August so I would recommend going tanning a lot before going on the trip this way your skin is a little used to a lot of sunlight. Or make sure you bring along a lot of suntan lotion.

Im taking 100mg of doxycycline and i smoke marijuana is it safe?
I smoke marijuana for my anxiety and im starting to take doxycycline will that effect me?
dayday
You can pretty much pair marijuana with anything and you would be just fine. I just don't recommend driving under the influence of anything.
