Please read the important information below regarding doxycycline antibiotics for chlamydia before starting your consultation.
Doxycycline
Doxycycline is an antibiotic used to treat chlamydia infection. It is used mainly as an alternative to the antibiotic azithromycin.
Doxycycline is equally as effective as azithromycin, but whereas azithromycin is a single dose treatment, doxycycline treatment needs to be taken twice daily for 7 days.
- Avoid sexual contact whilst taking doxycycline and for 7 days afterwards, until no longer infectious.
- People with a positive chlamydia test and their sexual partners should be treated, at the same time if possible.
- Tests take 6 weeks to go negative after chlamydia has been successfully treated.
POMDoxycycline antibiotic is prescription only medicine.
For background information about chlamydia please see chlamydia information page.
Alternative antibiotic
The most frequently used antibiotic for the treatment of chlamydia is azithromycin taken as a single dose.
Azithromycin is preferred by most doctors and patients because it is a single dose, although it is more expensive than doxycycline.
Side effects and cautions
The most frequently seen side effects are nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and acid type indigestion and heart burn.
Other side effects are rare. Doxycycline can cause light sensitivity. Strong sun and sun beds should be avoided whilst doxycycline is being taken.
For a full list of side effects and information about taking doxycycline, including interactions with other medication, see the patient information leaflet on doxycycline.
Cautions
Doxycycline should not be taken at the same time as antacids or milk as these can reduce absorption.
As with other antibiotics doxycycline can reduce the effectiveness of the contraceptive pill. The pill should not be stopped. Alternative contraception should be used whilst taking doxycycline and for 7 days afterwards.
