Who qualifies for treatment

Hi-Doctor's EU-licensed doctors consider Doxycycline primarily for the treatment of chlamydia infection. During your online consultation, the doctor will carefully review your medical history, symptoms, and exposure to determine if Doxycycline is the appropriate treatment for you. They assess factors such as:

  • Confirmed positive chlamydia test or known exposure to chlamydia.
  • Absence of allergies to Doxycycline or other tetracycline antibiotics.
  • No severe liver or kidney disease.
  • Not pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • No concurrent medications that interact negatively with Doxycycline.

The doctor's clinical assessment ensures your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What Doxycycline actually does (and doesn't do)

Doxycycline is an antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria. For chlamydia, it effectively clears the infection, typically within 7 days of treatment. It is crucial to complete the entire course of medication, even if symptoms improve, to ensure the infection is fully eradicated and to prevent antibiotic resistance.

Doxycycline is effective against specific bacterial infections like chlamydia. It does NOT treat viral infections (like the flu, common cold, HPV, herpes, or HIV), nor is it a broad-spectrum treatment for all STIs. It also doesn't prevent future infections.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Doxycycline can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and increased sensitivity to sunlight. It's important to use sunscreen and protective clothing while on Doxycycline.

You should stop taking Doxycycline and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe headaches, vision changes, severe skin rash, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or persistent severe diarrhoea. Always read the patient information leaflet provided with your medication for a complete list of side effects and precautions.
