Frequently asked questions
What is Doxycycline?
Doxycycline is a tetracycline antibiotic that inhibits bacterial growth rather than killing them outright. It binds to the bacterial ribosome and blocks the protein synthesis that bacteria need to grow. Doctors prescribe Doxycycline for:
- Respiratory infections such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and sinusitis
- Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis
- Acne and rosacea
- Skin, eye, and gum infections
- Tick-borne infections such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever
- Malaria prevention before and during travel
Doxycycline does not treat viral infections such as the flu or a cold.
What bacterial infections is Doxycycline used for?
The FDA has approved different Doxycycline prescription labels for various infections, including:
Alternative treatment for selected infections when penicillin is contraindicated
When can you get Doxycycline online for Lyme disease?
The FDA has approved Doxycycline for treating Lyme disease. It may be prescribed online after a recent tick bite in a Lyme-endemic area, based on attachment time and your symptoms.
Do I need a prescription for Doxycycline?
Yes, Doxycycline requires a prescription in the U.S. No pharmacy sells it over the counter, and you cannot get Doxycycline without a doctor reviewing your case. The consult doesn’t need to be in person, though. You can get Doxycycline online through Your Doctors Online. A licensed doctor evaluates your symptoms and sends an online script to the pharmacy you choose. If Doxycycline is not the right fit, the same consult can cover other antibiotics online.
Is Vibramycin the same as Doxycycline?
Yes, Vibramycin is a brand name for the medication Doxycycline. Both Vibramycin and Doxycycline contain the same active ingredient, Doxycycline hyclate. If your pharmacy stocks the generic, our doctors can send a Doxycycline hyclate prescription online the same day, and it works the same way as the brand.
What are the Doxycycline alternatives for the treatment of acne and rosacea?
The FDA approves Doxycycline for the treatment of acne and rosacea. However, its use is recommended only for reducing inflammation in case of severe infections. Your treatment plans for acne can differ and might include:
topical antibiotics (Minocycline, Clindamycin for acne)
prescription retinoids (Tazorac)
How long does Doxycycline take to work?
Typically, Doxycycline begins to take effect shortly after the first dose. The full results and improvement depend on the condition being treated. For most acute bacterial infections, you might feel better after 1-3 days.
Can I take Doxycycline 100mg twice a day for 7 days?
Yes, if that’s what your doctor prescribed. 100 mg twice daily for 7 days is a common course for bacterial infections. But it is important to talk to your doctor and take what is prescribed.
What happens if I miss a dose of Doxycycline?
If you forget to take a Doxycycline dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s time for the next dose. In that case, you will skip the missed dose and continue your schedule. Do not skip doses or stop taking them without consulting your doctor.
What happens if I take too much Doxycycline?
If you take too much Doxycycline, head to your nearest ER service for immediate medical care. It is advisable to always follow the pill regimen given by your provider.
Can I get a Doxycycline prescription online for acne treatment?
Yes, our doctors prescribe Doxycycline online for moderate to severe acne. The FDA approves Doxycycline as an adjunct acne treatment, which means it works alongside topicals rather than replacing them. During your consult, the doctor reviews your skin (via photos or video), checks what you have already tried, and, if Doxycycline is appropriate, sends the prescription to your pharmacy the same day.
