Important Safety Information about DORYX?
DORYX is indicated as adjunctive therapy for severe acne.
Doxycycline, like other tetracycline-class antibiotics, can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Tetracycline-class antibiotics used during tooth development (last half of pregnancy, infancy, and childhood to the age of 8 years) may cause permanent discoloration of teeth and should not be used unless other drugs are not likely to be effective or are contraindicated.
Patients should be advised that photosensitivity can occur with tetracycline-class drugs. Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported with nearly all antibacterial agents and may range from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis. To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria as well as to maintain the effectiveness of other antibacterial drugs, DORYX should be used only as indicated. Oral antibiotics may lessen the effectiveness of birth control pills.
