Tips for using Doxycycline Monohydrate 100 mg Tablet
Manufacturer changes have caused the price of doxycycline to increase significantly. Allivet offers vibramycin and minocycline as alternatives. Discuss these alternative options with your veterinarian.
Overview
Follow as directed by your veterinarian.
As a general guideline, dogs should be given 2mg to 5mg of the drug, per pound of body weight every 12 hours or 24 hours. The dosage and duration of treatment depend upon the type of infection your dog is suffering from. Although it isn’t necessary to give this medication with food you must make sure that the dog consumes plenty of water while he’s being treated with this drug.
Also avoid giving your pet any foods that contain dairy products as this will reduce the absorption of the medication by the body. If your dog has been prescribed doxycyline in the past and you still have a few tablets left, make sure you take a look at the expiration date that’s mentioned on the package as expired doxycycline can damage your dog’s kidneys and cause death.
