Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of doxycycline (Doxy) capsules for patients with acute bacterial exacerbation (ABI).
Design:This was a cross-sectional study involving a cohort of patients who received both doxycycline and oral doxycycline at an interval of approximately 14 days. Outcomes included patient-specific outcomes and the occurrence of adverse events in a single centre.
Setting:Medicine-based practices. Outcomes were used as a proxy for antibiotic efficacy and adverse events, which are known as adverse events, and which were evaluated in the setting of a clinical trial.
Participants:Seventy-one patients (26 men and 22 women) with ABI and a mean age of 55 years (range 45 to 75 years) were included in the study. All patients had been treated with either doxycycline or oral doxycycline for a period of 28 days. Outcome measures included the occurrence of ABI (defined as acute exacerbation with acute exacerbation or an episode of treatment failure and a duration of antibiotic therapy of 4 days or greater) and the incidence of adverse events.
Data sources:Data were collected from patients who had been treated for more than 28 days, who were admitted to an ambulatory care setting and who had received both doxycycline and oral doxycycline. Data were entered into the electronic health record system and extracted in one study and analyzed by two investigators. The authors determined the risk of bias in the data by removing duplicate data and using a robust method to quantify the risk of bias in data collection. We also collected the incidence of all relevant adverse events and the occurrence of adverse events in patients with ABI. The primary outcome was the occurrence of ABI and the secondary outcome was the incidence of all events in the cohort.
Results:From 1 July 2016 to 30 January 2018, 474 patients who had ABI were enrolled and were enrolled in this study. Of these, 254 (60.1%) were treated with doxycycline. The mean age was 45.8 years (range 41 to 58). All patients were female and at least one patient was diagnosed with ABI at an ambulatory care clinic within 1 month of enrollment.
Conclusions:Doxycycline was a reliable and effective antibiotic for the treatment of patients with ABI.

Current research identifies antibiotic-associated drug-resistant (API-DR) infections [].
Doxycycline is used to treat bacterial infections. Doxycycline treats urinary tract infections, intestinal infections, respiratory infections, eye infections, sexually transmitted infections (like gonorrhoea and syphilis), gum infections, diseases (like periodontitis), and others. Besides this, Doxycycline also treats acne-like lesions caused by rosacea. However, it does not treat facial redness caused by rosacea.
Doxycycline being an antibiotic prevents the growth of bacterial cells (the bad ones!) by preventing the formation of the outer protein layer of bacteria (cell wall) responsible for bacteria's growth and multiplication. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, i.e. it acts against various bacteria. It is a bacteriostatic antibiotic, i.e. it stops bacteria growth but does not kill them.
Doxycycline should only be taken if advised by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food but should be consumed at a fixed time for the best results. You should complete the course of Doxycycline as your doctor prescribes for better results. Some common side effects of Doxycycline are nausea (feeling or being sick), vomiting, diarrhoea, etc. Please consult your doctor if these side effects become troublesome.
Doxycycline is pregnancy category D (high risk) medicines, so its use in pregnant and nursing mothers is not recommended. Use of Doxycycline during tooth development (last half of pregnancy, infancy, and childhood up to the age of 8 years) may cause teeth staining (yellow-grey-brown). Do not consume alcohol as it may cause excessive drowsiness when taken along with Doxycycline. Before using Doxycycline, tell your doctor if you ever had an allergy to Doxycycline, have kidney problems, liver problems, swollen food pipe (esophagitis) or muscle disease (myasthenia gravis). Please do not drink alcohol with Doxycycline as it may increase the unpleasant side effects like drowsiness and dizziness.
You should take Doxycycline cautiously: It can increase the side effects like nausea (feeling sick), vomiting, diarrhoea, headache etc. Please consult your doctor if any of these side effects worsens.Using Doxycycline while pregnant or breast-feeding may raise the risk of harm to the developing baby. Doxycycline has not been studied to be sold on the internet but to be used by adults and children 21 years and above.
Using Doxycycline while using a child may increase the risk of harm to the developing baby: You may get drugged or drugged when using Doxycycline alongside other medicines or food. These symptoms may be painful or lose their power to concentrate after taking Doxycycline.Doxycycline should be used with caution in patients with liver disease. Do not consume alcohol with Doxycycline as it may increase the unpleasant side effects such as drowsiness and dizziness.
Doxycycline may decrease the amount of sperm: It may decrease the amount of sperm produced by patients with sperm disorders. However, Doxycycline is not recommended for men over 18 years of age.Doxycycline should not be used in patients with kidney problems or if you take any other medicines in the past.
