About Doxyaeq Injection
Doxyaeq 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, Doxyaeq Injection may also be used to treat or prevent anthrax.
Doxyaeq Injection contains 'Doxycycline' which stops the growth of bacteria by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins necessary for their survival. Thereby, Doxyaeq Injection helps treat bacterial infections. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic which is effective against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria.
Doxyaeq Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. In some cases, Doxyaeq Injection may cause pain, itching, swelling or redness at the site of injection, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea. Most of these side effects of Doxyaeq Injection do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. Please consult your doctor if these side effects become troublesome.
Do not take Doxyaeq Injection if you are allergic to any of the components. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Use of Doxyaeq 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.
