Who qualifies for treatment

Hi-Doctor's EU-licensed doctors consider Doxycycline primarily for the treatment of chlamydia infection. During your private online consultation, the doctor will assess your medical history, symptoms, and any recent test results or known exposure to chlamydia. They look for:

• Confirmed diagnosis of chlamydia infection.
• Clinical suspicion of chlamydia infection based on symptoms or recent exposure.
• Absence of contraindications to Doxycycline (e.g., severe allergies, pregnancy, breastfeeding, certain liver or kidney conditions).
• No concurrent medications that interact negatively with Doxycycline.

The doctor's primary goal is to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for your specific health needs.

What Doxycycline actually does (and doesn't do)

Doxycycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria, specifically targeting the bacteria responsible for chlamydia (Chlamydia trachomatis). For chlamydia, it is typically prescribed for a 7-day course.

It is important to understand that Doxycycline:

• Does treat chlamydia: It is highly effective against this specific bacterial infection.
• Does NOT treat viral infections: It is ineffective against viruses like herpes, HPV, or HIV.
• Does NOT treat other STIs: It is not a primary treatment for gonorrhea or syphilis, although it may have some activity against them.
• Does NOT prevent future infections: It treats an existing infection but does not provide immunity.

Always complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed, even if symptoms improve, to ensure the infection is fully cleared and to prevent antibiotic resistance.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Doxycycline can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include:

• Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea.
• Sensitivity to sunlight (photosensitivity).
• Headache.

You should contact a doctor immediately if you experience:

• Severe allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing).
• Severe headache, blurred vision (signs of intracranial hypertension).
• Severe stomach pain, persistent vomiting, or bloody diarrhoea.
• Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice).

If side effects are severe or concerning, stop taking the medication and seek immediate medical advice. Always read the patient information leaflet provided with your medication.
