Information
Tetracycline antibiotics are a class of drugs that include oxycycline. It attempts to treat diseases by forestalling the development and spread of microbes. It treats acne by reducing a particular natural oily substance that causes acne and eliminating the bacteria that live in the pores. By reducing the inflammation that causes rosacea, it works to treat it.
Uses:
Doxycycline is prescribed to treat a wide range of infections brought on by particular strains of bacteria. Doxycycline is also used to treat or prevent anthrax, which is a serious infection that could be spread intentionally as part of a bioterror attack, and to treat plague and tuleramia, which are serious infections that could be spread intentionally as part of a bioterror attack. Additionally, it prevents malaria. Acne and rosacea (a skin condition that causes redness, flushing, and pimples on the face) are also treated with Doxycycline and other medications. Doxycycline (Oracea) is only used to treat rosacea-related bumps and pimples.
Dosage:
Doxycycline can be taken orally as a suspension (liquid), tablet, delayed-release tablet, or capsule. Most people take doxycycline once or twice a day. With each dose, drink a full glass of water.
