Is there an over the counter Doxycycline available?
Doxycycline is a prescription only medicine (POM), which means that it is not available over the counter without a prescription. You should therefore not try to obtain Doxycycline over the internet from websites offering it without a prescription.
What can I take instead of Doxycycline?
If you are unable to take Doxycycline for Mgen (Mycoplasma Genitalium), then our doctors can prescribe a suitable alternative such as moxifloxacin. You will be asked about your allergies and previous medical history during your consultation, which will enable our doctors to advise the best treatment regime for you.
Can Doxycycline treat STIs?
Since the widespread resistance of certain bacteria that cause STIs to 1-day courses of azithromycin, Doxycycline has been found to be the most effective first line treatment for many STIs. Whilst azithromycin is still effective in a 3-day course, it is usually only considered as an alternative if Doxycycline is not suitable.
What infections will Doxycycline clear up?
Doxycycline is used to treat many different bacterial infections in the body, including acne and respiratory infections to name but a few. Whilst Doxycycline is useful in treating more than just sexually transmitted infections, it is very important to ensure you are being prescribed the correct dose for the correct amount of time.
