Vibramycin (doxycycline) is a widely-used antibiotic effective at stopping and, in some cases, preventing infection.

The medication is used in a large assortment of conditions, ranging from acne to typhus. It is also used as a preventive measure against anthrax, leptospirosis and malaria. However, patients planning to buy vibramycin as a preventive treatment should be aware that some regions have developed resistance to the drug; travelers should check with health authorities for the most effective preventive treatment in a given area.

Similarly, like all antibiotics, this product is only effective against certain types of bacteria; patients should not buy Vibramycin to treat an undiagnosed infection, as it may cause more harm than help.

Effective Use of Vibramycin

The medication is typically administered via tablet, though in some areas it's also possible to buy Vibramycin as an oral suspension for use in patients who are unable to swallow tablets. Delayed-release tablets should be swallowed whole; other tablets may be crushed and sprinkled in applesauce or water if desired.

In an ideal situation the bacteria will be identified by a doctor and confirmed to be susceptible to Vibramycin before treatment starts, and factors such as age, weight, other medical conditions and so forth will be taken into account to determine dosage. There are, however, some guidelines that apply to Vibramycin use in all cases:

• It should not be used by pregnant women, or in children under 8 years of age without explicit doctor instruction; there is a risk of defects in bones and teeth.
• It should be taken at least 2 hours before or after consuming aluminum, zinc, magnesium, iron, calcium, or bismuth subsalicylate; these products will interfere with absorption.
• A full glass of water should follow administration to prevent throat irritation.
• For maximum presence in the body, the medication should be taken at the same time each day.
• Do not used expired Vibramycin; doing so may cause kidney damage.

As mentioned above, Vibramycin is used in a wide range of conditions. A partial list includes:

• Acne
• Rosacea
• Typhus
• Cholera
• Q fever
• Anthrax
• Trachoma
• Chancroid
• Granuloma
• Brucellosis
• Bubonic plague
• Urinary tract infections
• Respiratory tract infections
• Pelvic inflammatory disease
• Rocky Mountain spotted fever
• Lyme disease and other tick fevers

While dosage may vary to some extent according to individual considerations, treatment is roughly similar in the majority of conditions with the largest factor being the severity of the infection:

• For mild infections, start with 200 mg on the first day (two 100 mg doses taken 12 hours apart), followed by 100 mg once per day for 7 to 14 days.
• For severe infections, take 200 mg per day (two 100 mg doses taken 12 hours apart) for 7 to 14 days.

As with all antibiotics, it's important to complete treatment even if all symptoms disappear. Failure to do so can lead to a resurgence of the infection and contribute to resistant bacteria.

Treatment varies somewhat when Vibramycin is used as a preventive measure:

• For malaria, take 100 mg once per day starting 1 or 2 days prior to exposure, continuing throughout exposure and for 4 weeks after exposure.
• For leptospirosis, take 200 mg once per week, starting 1 or 2 days prior to exposure and continuing throughout exposure.
• For anthrax, take 100 mg per day, starting either 1 or 2 days prior to exposure or as soon as possible after exposure, continuing throughout exposure and for at least 60 days after.

Again, patients are advised to check with local authorities to ensure Vibramycin is an effective preventive treatment in a given region prior to depending on it. Travelers may also want to buy Vibramycin in sufficient quantities to last the entire trip, as it can be difficult to get refills in some areas.
