- Background
Doxycycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic synthetically derived from oxytetracycline.13 It is a second-generation tetracycline that was first discovered in 1967.6 Second-generation tetracyclines exhibit lesser toxicity than first-generation tetracyclines.5 Doxycycline is used to treat a wide variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial infections. It is also used to treat acne and malaria.8

Pharmacology
- Indication
Doxycycline is indicated for the treatment of various infections by gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, aerobes and anaerobes, as well other types of bacteria, including:

It is also used to treat infections caused by the following gram-negative microorganisms:
- Chancroid caused by Haemophilus ducreyi 13
- Plague due to Yersinia pestis 13
- Tularemia due to Francisella tularensis 13

- Pharmacodynamics
Doxycycline and other tetracyclines are mainly bacteriostatic and are thought to exert antimicrobial effects by the inhibition of protein synthesis. They suppress the growth of bacteria or keep them in the stationary phase of growth.3 Tetracyclines have antimicrobial spectrum of activity against a variety of gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms.11 Cross-resistance of these microorganisms to tetracyclines is a common occurrence.11
As it is a highly lipophilic drug, doxycycline crosses multiple membranes of target molecules.8 Doxycycline shows favorable intra-cellular penetration, with bacteriostatic activity against a wide range of bacteria.9 Doxycycline also exhibits antiparasitic properties 1,2,3 and anti-inflammatory actions.4,8 Its anti-inflammatory effects were investigated in various inflammatory skin conditions, such as bullous dermatoses 8 and rosacea.4,8
- Mechanism of action
Protein synthesis is essential for survival and functioning of cells, including bacteria.7 Doxycycline inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by allosterically binding to the 30S prokaryotic ribosomal subunit.8,11 The drug blocks the association charged aminoacyl-tRNA (aa-tRNA) with the ribosomal A site, which is the acceptor site on the mRNA-ribosome complex. Doxycycline ultimately impedes the elongation phase of protein synthesis and halts the production of essential proteins for bacterial survival and functioning.7,8
Doxycycline mediates anti-inflammatory actions by preventing calcium-dependent microtubular assembly and lymphocytic proliferation, thereby inhibiting leukocyte movement during inflammation.8 It also inhibits nitric oxide synthase, which is an enzyme that produces nitric oxide, an inflammatory signaling molecule.8
Target Actions Organism A30S ribosomal protein inhibitor- Absorption
Doxycycline is virtually completely absorbed after oral administration 11 with a bioavailability of ranging from 73-95%.10 Following an oral dose of 500 mg, the Cmax of 15.3 mg/L was reached in four hours.10
Following a 200 mg dose, normal adult volunteers averaged peak serum levels of 2.6 mcg/mL of doxycycline at 2 hours, decreasing to 1.45 mcg/mL at 24 hours.13 While a high-fat meal lowers Cmax and the rate of absorption, the effect is not clinically significant.11
- Volume of distribution
There is limited information available.
- Protein binding
While there is limited information available, tetracyclines bound to plasma proteins in varying degree.13
- Metabolism
There is limited information available.
- Route of elimination
Tetracyclines, including doxycycline, are concentrated in bile by the liver and excreted in the urine and feces at high concentrations and in a biologically active form.11 Excretion of doxycycline by the kidney is about 40%/72 hours in individuals with a creatinine clearance of about 75 mL/min. This percentage may fall as low as 1-5%/72 hours in individuals with a creatinine clearance below 10 mL/min.11
- Half-life
There is limited information available.
- Clearance
Population pharmacokinetic analysis of sparse concentration-time data of doxycycline following standard of care intravenous and oral dosing in 44 pediatric patients two to 18 years of age showed allometrically -scaled clearance (CL) ranging from 3.27 to 3.58 L/h/70 kg.13
- Adverse Effects
- Improve decision support & research outcomesWith structured adverse effects data, including: blackbox warnings, adverse reactions, warning & precautions, & incidence rates. View sample adverse effects data in our new Data Library!Improve decision support & research outcomes with our structured adverse effects data.
- Toxicity
Oral LD50 is 2000 mg/kg in rats, 1870 mg/kg in mice, and 500 mg/kg in dog.14
In case of overdosage, doxycycline should be discontinued and symptomatic and supportive treatment should be initiated. Dialysis does not alter serum half-life and thus would not be of benefit in treating cases of overdosage.11

Drug Interaction Integrate drug-drug
interactions in your softwareAbacavir Doxycycline may decrease the excretion rate of Abacavir which could result in a higher serum level. Abciximab The risk or severity of bleeding can be increased when Doxycycline is combined with Abciximab. Aceclofenac Aceclofenac may decrease the excretion rate of Doxycycline which could result in a higher serum level. Acemetacin Acemetacin may decrease the excretion rate of Doxycycline which could result in a higher serum level. Acenocoumarol The risk or severity of bleeding can be increased when Doxycycline is combined with Acenocoumarol. - Food Interactions
- Avoid multivalent ions. The absorption of tetracyclines is reduced when taken with foods, especially those which contain calcium.
- Take with or without food. The absorption of tetracyclines is reduced when taken with foods, but not to a significant extent. If gastric irritation occurs, it is recommended that doxycycline be given with food or milk.
