Doxycycline is a medication that is used to treat bacterial infections. Certain respiratory tract infections and their complications, can be treated with doxycycline, and it can be used to treat other bacterial infections as well. In Australia it is used to treat urinary tract infections, infections of the intestines, eye infections, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and periodontal disease. Doxycycline can be prescribed to treat skin problems, such as bumps, acne and lesions caused by rosacea. A prescription is needed in Australia to get Doxycycline, which is part of the tetracycline family of antibiotics. If you are allergic to tetracycline, then you should avoid taking doxycycline. Children under the age of 8 years old should not take doxycycline, since it has been linked to grey and yellowing of the teeth in patients in that age category. Pregnant women should not take doxycycline, since it has been known to affect the formation of teeth in unborn babies and cause yellow or grey teeth. If you are breast feeding, you should also avoid taking this medication for the same reasons. In extreme cases of Rocky Mountain spotted fever or anthrax, children may be prescribed this medication, but only in life threatening circumstances. When the circumstances of treating the serious condition outweigh the effects on the child’s tooth health, doxycycline may be used.
