Mechanism of Action:

Tetracycline antibiotics are broad-spectrum and bacteriostatic. Doxycycline is a semi-synthetic tetracycline antibiotic, derived from oxytetracycline. Their mechanism of action is through the inhibition of protein synthesis, and the alteration of cytoplasmic membrane permeability within the susceptible organism. Doxycycline is effective against a broad spectrum of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, and wide variety of other organisms including Rickettsia, Spirochetes, Mycoplasma, Anaplasma, and Chlamydia and some protozoa.
Doxycycline is more lipid-soluble than other tetracycline antibiotics and may reach higher levels in some of the difficult to penetrate areas, such as synovial fluid, central nervous system and eye.
