We assessed the clinical efficacy and tolerability of doxycycline monohydrate in patients with severe infections of the upper and lower respiratory tract. We performed a prospective cohort study and used the data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The study was registered at the Canadian Pharmacy Board and the Canadian Network for Health Promotion and Care in Canada (CNPQ) (NCHN-NCT02351223). All participants received a single dose of 100 mg doxycycline monohydrate and were followed for a period of 7 days. The primary end point was the incidence of adverse events related to doxycycline monohydrate use (frequency of at least one adverse event ≥1% and ≥5% in ≥1 of the days). The incidence of adverse events was assessed using the modified intention-to-treat (mITT) analysis. The primary efficacy variable was a composite endpoint defined by the composite endpoint of adverse events, including death, gastrointestinal bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding, upper respiratory tract infection, and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. A secondary analysis was performed to determine the incidence of cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction, stroke, and angina. The incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding, upper respiratory tract infection, and upper gastrointestinal infection was not significantly different between the groups, and there were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding between the groups (p = 0.872). The incidence of upper respiratory tract infection was significantly higher in doxycycline monohydrate recipients (p = 0.021), while the incidence of upper gastrointestinal infection was not significantly different. In conclusion, this study suggests that doxycycline monohydrate is a safe and effective treatment for severe upper respiratory tract infections in the community and in patients who are currently taking antibiotics. The incidence of adverse events, including gastrointestinal bleeding, gastrointestinal infections, upper respiratory tract infection, and upper gastrointestinal infection, was not significantly different between the groups.
Doxycycline Monohydrate for Treating upper respiratory tract infectionsDoxycycline, upper respiratory tract infection, upper gastrointestinal infection
Infections of the upper respiratory tract are common in adults and children and may include pneumonia, sinusitis, bronchitis, and tonsillitis. This type of infection is usually treatable with antibiotics. It is believed that antibiotic treatment is associated with a low rate of morbidity and mortality. In recent years, a number of new antibiotics have been developed and tested in the upper respiratory tract. However, the efficacy of these new agents is still being evaluated, and their safety and efficacy have not been thoroughly studied. Doxycycline is an antibiotic that is effective against anaerobic bacteria, includingStaphylococcus aureus,Streptococcus pneumoniae, andBordetella bronchiseptica.
Doxycycline monohydrate has been developed as an antifungal agent and has been found to be effective against a range of pathogens in clinical practice, such asCoccidioides immitisCandida albicansChlamydophila pneumoniaIt has also been used for treatment of non-enteric fever. A previous study showed that doxycycline monohydrate had a good safety profile when used as a treatment for non-enteric fever in adults. However, there are concerns about the safety of the drug in the elderly. We aimed to determine the safety of doxycycline monohydrate for the treatment of upper respiratory tract infection in the community and in patients who are currently taking antibiotics.
This was a prospective, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group study conducted at the Canadian Pharmacy Board in Toronto, Canada. Participants were included in the study if they were ≥18 years of age, were hospitalized with a suspected upper respiratory tract infection, and had positive culture forin their urine. The study was performed between January and March 2017. All participants received a single dose of 100 mg doxycycline monohydrate and were followed for 7 days. The study protocol was approved by the institutional review board at the Canadian Pharmacy Board. All participants gave their informed consent.
All participants were randomly assigned to receive either 100 mg doxycycline monohydrate or doxycycline monohydrate alone. The study protocol was approved by the institutional review board at the Canadian Pharmacy Board and the study participants signed a informed consent before being enrolled in the study.
Give as directed by your veterinarian. Follow the instructions printed on the prescription label. Store doxycycline at room temperature. Be sure to complete the prescription to ensure a full recovery, even if your pet seems to be improving, unless instructed otherwise by your veterinarian. Allow your pet access to plenty of water. Doxycycline can be given with or without food but should not be given with dairy products.
Keep out of the reach of children and pets. Do not use in animals with a known sensitivity to doxycycline. Do not use in pregnant animals. Let your veterinarian know if your pet is on any other medications, as interactions with certain medicines can occur. Do not administer any calcium-containing medications, antacids, laxatives, or multivitamins within 2 hours of the last doxycycline dose. Notify your veterinarian if your animal suffers from kidney or liver disease. Doxycycline may increase skins sensitivity to sunlight. Store at room temperature. Store protected from light and moisture.
Allergic reactions and serious side effects are rare, but in the case of an allergic reaction or a serious side effect you should stop doxycycline treatment and seek veterinary attention. Some common signs of allergic reactions and serious side effects are hives, breathing difficulty, facial swelling, loss of appetite, or dark colored urine.
Should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.
Doxycycline should not be used in animals allergic to it or other tetracycline antibiotics. Use with caution in animals with impaired liver or kidney function. Do not use in pregnant, nursing, or growing animals since this medication may cause slowing of bone growth and discoloration of teeth. Give antacids, vitamin and mineral combinations, iron, or Pepto-Bismol at least 1 hour before or 4 hours after giving doxycycline. Use caution when given with digoxin or warfarin. Doxycycline is not affected by food.
Contains Doxycycline (noastrine)Background:We evaluated the relative efficacy of doxycycline and doxycycline plus doxycycline monotherapy versus doxycycline monotherapy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and found no difference in the treatment efficacy in the 2 groups. The investigators found no difference in the incidence of adverse events among the 2 groups. This study was a retrospective review of the medical records of patients treated with doxycycline monotherapy versus doxycycline plus doxycycline monotherapy at a tertiary care university center. All patients with active inflammatory bowel disease who were receiving doxycycline monotherapy (N=931) or doxycycline plus doxycycline monotherapy (N=931) at the time of the study were included in the study.
Methods:A retrospective review of the medical records of patients treated with doxycycline monotherapy versus doxycycline plus doxycycline monotherapy at a tertiary care university center was performed. Patients were divided into 2 groups: the first group (N=931) was treated with doxycycline monotherapy and the second group (N=931) was treated with doxycycline plus doxycycline monotherapy at the time of diagnosis.
Results:The incidence of adverse events, including the incidence of severe gastrointestinal bleeding, and the incidence of other serious adverse events were significantly higher in the second group (p<0.001). The median duration of treatment was 3.0 months.
Conclusions:The mean duration of doxycycline monotherapy was significantly longer in the second group than in the first group. In the absence of a clear benefit, the investigators should advise patients to take doxycycline monotherapy to prevent gastrointestinal bleeding.
Drug Interactions with DoxycyclineDoxycycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is used to treat many bacterial infections. Doxycycline has been shown to have additive renal and hepatic toxicity in patients receiving intravenous doxycycline or oral doxycycline. Doxycycline is a short-acting and highly active metabolite of doxycycline and is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, and most patients who take doxycycline have a rapid elimination rate. Doxycycline is rapidly absorbed and eliminated rapidly by the kidneys and is excreted in the urine.
Because of its broad spectrum of activity, doxycycline is known to have a low risk of gastrointestinal toxicity when administered in combination with other medications. This risk may be greater in patients with a history of peptic ulcer disease who also use doxycycline. In this retrospective study, the authors evaluated the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding in patients who took doxycycline monotherapy versus doxycycline plus doxycycline monotherapy at the time of diagnosis.
The mean duration of doxycycline monotherapy was significantly longer in patients with peptic ulcer disease who also used doxycycline monotherapy at the time of diagnosis than in the group who took doxycycline plus doxycycline monotherapy.
Doxycycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic and is available in tablet and liquid formulations. The oral dosage forms of doxycycline include capsules, tablets, and suspension. It is not known if oral doxycycline can be safely taken by patients who do not have symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding or who are taking other medications that may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. It should be considered in patients who have an ulcer in the upper gastrointestinal tract, who are taking other drugs that increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, and who are taking anticoagulants. In addition, it should be considered in patients who are taking oral contraceptives or anticoagulants that interfere with the absorption of doxycycline. In patients with a history of peptic ulcer disease, the use of doxycycline may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
The oral dosage forms of doxycycline may be helpful in patients who are not taking other medications that increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
Doxycycline should be taken with caution in patients who are taking oral contraceptives or anticoagulants. Doxycycline can cause gastrointestinal bleeding in patients who are taking oral contraceptives or anticoagulants.
