About Doxodin Injection

Doxodin Injection belongs to a group of medications called tetracycline antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections such as urinary tract infections, intestinal infections, respiratory infections, eye infections, skin infections, sexually transmitted infections (gonorrhoea, syphilis), and gum infections (periodontitis). Besides this, Doxodin Injection may also be used to treat or prevent anthrax.

Doxodin Injection contains 'Doxycycline' which stops the growth of bacteria by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins necessary for their survival. Thereby, Doxodin Injection helps treat bacterial infections. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic which is effective against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria.

Doxodin Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. In some cases, Doxodin Injection may cause pain, itching, swelling or redness at the site of injection, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea. Most of these side effects of Doxodin Injection do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. Please consult your doctor if these side effects become troublesome.

Do not take Doxodin Injection if you are allergic to any of the components. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Use of Doxodin Injection during tooth development (last half of pregnancy, infancy, and in children below 8 years) may cause teeth staining (yellow-grey-brown). Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any interactions/side effects.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • It would be best to take probiotics after completing the full course of Doxodin Injection to restore healthy bacteria in the intestine that may have been killed due to the usage of antibiotics. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yogurt, cheese, sauerkraut and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria which helps stimulate their growth. Whole-grain bread, and brown rice, should be included in your diet.
  • Avoid taking too much calcium enriched foods and drinks as it might affect the working of Doxodin Injection.
  • Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages with Doxodin Injection as it can make you dehydrated and affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid Doxodin Injection in fighting off infections.
