What is the dose of the medication you are taking? |
Doxycycline:
Idocyklin is an semisynthetic tetracycline group's antibiotic of broad-spectrum. This medication has bacteriostatic action due to suppression of protein synthesis of pathogens. It active against aerobic gram-positive bacteria: Staphylococcus spp. (including strains producing penicillinase), Streptococcus spp. (including Streptococcus pneumoniae), Bacillus anthracis, Listeria monocytogenes; anaerobic bacteria: Clostridium spp.
Idocyklin (Doxycycline) is also active against aerobic gram-negative bacteria: Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Escherichia coli, Shigella spp., Salmonella spp., Enterobacter spp., Klebsiella spp., Bordetella pertussis, as well as against Rickettsia spp., Treponema spp., Mycoplasma spp. and Chlamydia spp.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus spp., Serratia spp., most strains of Bacteroides fragilis are resistant to Idocyklin (Doxycycline).
After oral administration Idocyklin (Doxycycline) is quickly and almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Ingestion has very little effect on the absorption of Idocyklin (Doxycycline). This medication is widely distributed in tissues and body fluids. Plasma protein binding is 80-95%. T1/2 is 12-22 h. Idocyklin (Doxycycline) excreted in the urine as unchanged (40%) but the main part of the dose excreted unchanged in the feces through bile secretion.
Infectious-inflammatory diseases caused by microorganisms sensitive to Idocyklin (Doxycycline) including infections of the respiratory and ENT organs; gastrointestinal tract infections; purulent infections of skin and soft tissues (including acne); infection of the genitourinary system (including gonorrhea, primary and secondary syphilis); typhus, brucellosis, rickettsiosis, osteomyelitis, trachoma, chlamydia.
Idocyklin is indicated for adults orally or IV (infusions) in 200 mg / day dosess on the first day of treatment, in the coming days at 100-200 mg / day. Multiplicity of admission (or IV infusion) is 1-2 times / day. For children older than 8 years of age and weighing over 50 kg the daily Idocyklin (Doxycycline) dose for oral administration or IV (infusion) in the first day of treatment is 4 mg / kg. In next days ir is 2-4 mg / kg depending on the severity of the clinical course of disease. Multiplicity of admission (or intravenous infusion) is 1-2 times / day. The recommended minimum time for IV infusion 100 mg of Idocyklin (Doxycycline) (a concentration of infusion solution is 0.5 mg / ml) is 1 hour.
Maximum doses: for adults for oral administration is 300 mg / day or 600 mg / day (depending on the etiology of the agent); for iv injection it is 300 mg / day.
Digestive system: nausea, vomiting, anorexia, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, dysphagia, glossitis, esophagitis, transient increase in the blood of hepatic transaminases, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin.
Hematopoietic system: neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, hemolytic anemia.
Allergic reactions: skin rash, itching, eosinophilia, rarely - angioedema, photosensitivity.
Other: increased residual nitrogen, candidiasis, intestinal dysbiosis, discoloration of teeth in children.
Pregnancy, children age up to 8 years (possibility of forming insoluble complexes with calcium in the skeleton, enamel and dentin of the teeth), hypersensitivity to tetracyclines, porphyria, severe liver insufficiency, leukopenia, lactation period, myasthenia (for IV administration).
Idocyklin is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation. Idocyklin (Doxycycline) crosses the placental barrier. This medication may cause long-term discoloration of the teeth, enamel hypoplasia, inhibition of growth of bones of the fetus and also the development of fatty liver.
If necessary using during lactation patients should stop breastfeeding.
With careful use of Idocyklin (Doxycycline) with impaired liver function. If a patient has renal impairment the dose adjustment is not required.
To prevent local irritating action (esophagitis, gastritis, gastrointestinal ultseratsiya) Idocyklin (Doxycycline) should be taken during the day with plenty of fluids, food or milk. Due to possible development of photosensitivity it is necessary the restriction of insolation during treatment and for 4-5 days thereafter.
Idocyklin (Doxycycline) is not used in children younger than 8 years because tetracyclines (including Idocyklin (Doxycycline)) are causing long-term discoloration of the teeth, enamel hypoplasia and retardation of longitudinal growth of bones in these patients.
Idocyklin (Doxycycline) solution for IV administration should be used no later than 72 hours after its preparation.
Medications containing metal ions (antacids, products containing iron, magnesium, calcium) form inactive chelates with Idocyklin (Doxycycline), in connection with what it is necessary to avoid their simultaneous use.
It needed to avoid combination with penicillins, cephalosporins, bactericidal action and is an antagonist of bacteriostatic antibiotics (including Idocyklin (Doxycycline)).
Absorption of Idocyklin (Doxycycline) is reduced by cholestyramine and colestipol (observe the interval between the reception of at least 3 h).
Due to suppression of intestinal microflora Idocyklin (Doxycycline) reduces prothrombin index which requires dose adjustment of indirect anticoagulants.
Idocyklin (Doxycycline) reduces the reliability of contraception and increases the frequency of breakthrough bleeding while taking estrogen-containing oral contraceptives.
Simultaneous administration of Idocyklin (Doxycycline) with:
Treatment: discontinuation, symptomatic and supportive therapy. Hemodialysis is ineffective.
Doxycycline Hyclate:

Depending on the reaction of the Idocyklin after taken, if you are feeling dizziness, drowsiness or any weakness as a reaction on your body, Then consider Idocyklin not safe to drive or operate heavy machine after consumption. Meaning that, do not drive or operate heavy duty machines after taking the capsule if the capsule has a strange reaction on your body like dizziness, drowsiness. As prescribed by a pharmacist, it is dangerous to take alcohol while taking medicines as it exposed patients to drowsiness and health risk. Please take note of such effect most especially when taking Primosa capsule. It's advisable to consult your doctor on time for a proper recommendation and medical consultations.
Is Idocyklin addictive or habit forming?Medicines are not designed with the mind of creating an addiction or abuse on the health of the users. Addictive Medicine is categorically called Controlled substances by the government. For instance, Schedule H or X in India and schedule II-V in the US are controlled substances.
