Doxycycline
is an antibiotic medicine belonging to the class called "tetracyclines." It is used to treat bacterial infections in many different parts of the body. It is effective against a wide variety of bacteria, such as Hemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia psittaci, Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoea, and many others. Doxycycline is used to treat infections and to help control acne. Doxycycline also may be used for other problems as determined by your doctor. Doxycycline will not work for colds, flu, or other virus infections.Doxycycline is also active against the parasite that causes malaria. It is sometimes used to treat malaria, and can also be used to prevent it when visiting high-risk malarial areas, in particular areas where the malaria parasite is resistant to chloroquine.
In October 2001, FDA published a Federal Register notice clarifying that these drugs were approved for inhalational anthrax (post-exposure).
Doxycycline
is used for many different types of infections, including respiratory tract infections due to Hemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, or Mycoplasma pneumoniae. It also is used for the treatment of Acne vulgaris; Bubonic plague; Chlamydia; Cholera; Chronic bronchitis; Death and decay of tissue in a infected wound due to gas production by the infecting bacteria (gas gangrene); Disease caused by infection with Leptospira bacteria (Weil's Disease/leptospirosis); Disease of rodents and rabbits that can be transmitted to humans (tularaemia); Eye infections; Gonorrhoea; Infection caused by Brucella bacteria (brucellosis); Infection of the lungs and airways (chest or lower respiratory tract infection); Infections caused by Rickettsiae micro-organisms transmitted by lice, fleas, ticks and mites; Infections of the urinary tract; Infectious disease of parrots and man (parrot fever/psittacosis); Infectious disease of rodents that can be transmitted to humans (melioidosis); Inflammation of the sinuses due to infection (sinusitis); Lesions in the groin and genitalia caused by a sexually transmitted bacteria (granuloma inguinale); Louse and tick-bourne relapsing fever; Pneumonia; Prevention of an infectious disease called Scrub typhus; Prevention of infection with Leptospira bacteria (leptospirosis); Prevention of malaria; Prevention of traveller's diarrhoea (enterotoxigenic E coli); Protozoal infection of the intestine (amoebiasis); Sexually transmitted infection that causes genital ulcers (chancroid); Syphilis; Tetanus; Treatment of malaria caused by chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum.Capsules contain mineral Zn and vitamins of B complex group. Zinc represented in form of citrate. Zinc is very important nutrient in the integrity and strength of various body structures, such as bones, skin, hair and nails (white spots on the nails may reflect a lack of zinc). Mild acne may respond to zinc supplementation.
The
common benefits of Zinc that are insured by the medical test are the
following:
• Help in maintaining and restoring the health of hair and nails as
well as healing skin wounds and skin conditions, such as acne,
eczema, and psoriasis. Zinc plays a fundamental role in collagen
formation and healthy tissue development. In conjunction with
antioxidants Zinc shows a pronounced anti-aging effect.
• Support of proper fetal and reproductive organs development and
functioning. Zinc proved to be essential for the prostate gland and
other reproductive organs. Notable improvements in sex life caused
by improvement of sexual function as the result of healthy prostate
function are observed in many cases.
• Colds severity and length reduction. When taken at the beginning
of cold Zinc shows to be effective in relieving the symptoms. It
fights sore throat, coughing, running nose and headaches caused by
viruses. If taken for a relatively long period of time, it may
improve overall immunity and further frequency of colds and risk of
infections. Zinc is also thought to be effective for treating herpes
virus as it interferes with the ability of the virus to replicate
itself.
• Slowing the progression of macular degeneration which causes
vision loss especially in the elderly people. The results of the
tests also showed that long-term Zinc intake may reduce the risk of
macular degeneration later in life.
Who is at risk of Zinc deficiency?
There are multiple factors that influence Zinc levels reduction in
human body. Among these factors are stress, diarrhea, diabetes,
liver disease, kidney and liver diseases and high rate of alcohol
consumption. It is also a well know fact that the mineral is lost
via perspiration that is why athletes, those who do a lot of sport
and those who live in hot climatic zones or regularly visits saunas
or steam rooms are at risk. Zinc levels can also be reduced by some
medications among which are oral contraceptives, ulcer medications,
some antibiotics, antiviral medication and some diuretics. Among
other factors that might influence the amount of Zinc intake are
poor soil levels of the mineral and food processing techniques.
