What is doxycycline monohydrate?

Doxycycline monohydrate is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat infections including respiratory infections, Lyme disease, and certain sexually transmitted infections, as well as moderate to severe acne when taken over a longer course. It's also commonly prescribed to prevent malaria for travelers to regions where it's a risk. It works by stopping bacteria from producing proteins they need to grow and multiply. Dosing and treatment length vary significantly depending on which of these it's being used for.

Stops bacterial growth

Binds the bacterial ribosome's 30S subunit, blocking protein synthesis and halting bacterial growth without directly killing the cells.

Broad, versatile coverage

Effective against a wide range of bacteria, and used off-label for inflammatory acne and malaria prevention for travelers.

Dosing varies by use

Typically taken once or twice daily. The length of treatment ranges from a short course to several months depending on what's being treated.
