Pathophysiology/Pharmacology Exerts a bacteriostatic effect against a
wide variety of gram-positive and gram-
negative organisms. Doxycycline is more
lipophilic than other tetracyclines,
which allows it to pass more easily
through the bacterial lipid bilayer,
where it binds reversibly to 30S
ribosomal subunits. Bound doxycycline
blocks the binding of aminoacyl transfer
RNA to messenger RNA, thus inhibiting
bacterial protein synthesis
Indications To treat inhalation anthrax post

To treat endocervical, rectal, and

Chlamydia trachomatis
To prevent malaria
