Doxycycline may be prescribed for other uses:

Doxycycline may be used in some instances to treat muscle aches or back pain caused by a weakened immune system, such as an antibiotic like doxycycline that can cause back pain and muscle aches.

1. Introduction

In South Africa, the most prevalent type of antimicrobial resistance (TAR) is the use of a broad-spectrum antibiotic (DSA) as a first-line treatment for a wide range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria (i).

In the last decades, TAR has emerged as a critical threat to public health and has become a significant public health concern [

]. The increasing use of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has led to a growing concern among both healthcare professionals and patients alike. Resistance to tetracyclines is a significant problem in the global population, leading to the development of antibiotic resistance [

Antibiotic resistance has also posed a significant threat to public health as it is often detected in hospitals and laboratories. In the last few years, various strategies have been adopted to combat the resistance development of bacterial pathogens [

Among the various strategies,doxycycline hyclate(

) was one of the first antibiotics to be introduced into clinical practice in South Africa [

,

The development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has been a subject of intense interest and research in recent years [

It is essential to conduct research and understand the impact of antibiotic resistance on public health and public health system. The current research focuses on the evolution of antimicrobial resistance and the potential challenges of antibiotic resistance in the public health and public health system.

2. Antimicrobial Resistance and Its Impact on Public Health

The development of antimicrobial resistance has been a challenge for public health in South Africa as it has been associated with a significant increase in antimicrobial resistance. The global burden of resistance to tetracyclines, an important component of the global antimicrobial resistance response, is estimated to be around USD 3 billion [

The World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated that the global prevalence of bacterial resistance to tetracycline, an antibiotic used for the treatment of a wide range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, is at aathom to 10% of the global population. Resistance to tetracyclines has become a global issue in recent years as resistance to these antibiotics has become less common in South Africa, contributing to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance [

In South Africa, there is a strong preference for antibiotics with broad-spectrum activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. These strains have been found to be highly resistant to tetracycline, especially in patients with multiple risk factors [

In addition to the potential for misuse and misuse of tetracyclines, the increasing trend of antimicrobial resistance has also increased the number of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, including

Mycoplasma

and

Pseudomonas

(These bacteria are considered as an emerging global public health threat and are often resistant to tetracycline [

The rising incidence of antimicrobial resistance in the population has prompted the global population to consider the need for effective and cost-effective alternatives to current treatments [

In South Africa, the development of antimicrobial resistance is a challenge due to the increasing use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. This is especially true in the context of increasing resistance to tetracyclines. In South Africa, tetracycline, also known as ampicillin, is used as a first-line treatment for a broad range of bacteria [

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that a single 500 mg tablet of tetracycline daily is effective in preventing infection in about 80% of individuals [

However, it is essential to note that the use of tetracycline as a first-line treatment is not without risk [

In the United States, tetracycline is also used to treat anthrax, and tetracycline is used to treat malaria [

Uses of Doxycycline

Doxycycline is used for the treatment of various bacterial infections like that of chest, lung or nose (Ex. bronchitis, pneumonia, sinusitis), urinary tract (Ex. cystitis, urethritis), skin (Ex. acne), eyes or sexually transmitted diseases (Ex. gonorrhoea, syphilis, chlamydia).

It is also used to treat fevers associated with louse or tick bites and malaria (when chloroquine is ineffective). It can also be used to prevent certain infections like scrub typhus (a disease carried by small insects), Rocky Mountain spotted fever, travellers’ diarrhoea, malaria and leptospirosis.

How Doxycycline works

Doxycycline works by inhibiting the growth and replication of bacteria. It does this by binding to the bacterial ribosome, preventing the synthesis of proteins that are essential for the bacteria's survival.

When to consult your doctor

Consult your doctor if you experience:

• Skin sensitivity to light (skin rash, itching, redness or severe sunburn when out in sunlight or after using a sun bed)

• Serious bowel inflammation (upset stomach, loss of appetite, severe, persistent or bloody diarrhoea associated with stomach pain or fever)
• Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (fever, swollen lymph nodes, skin rash)
• Benign intracranial hypertension (headache, vomiting, visual disturbances including blurred or double vision, a localized defect in the visual field bordered by an area of normal vision and possible vision loss, in some cases, even permanent)
• Serious disorder with widespread severe blistering of the skin, mouth, eyes and genitals
• Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction (fever, chills, headache, muscle pain and skin rash that is usually self-limiting)
• Inflammation or ulcers of the gullet
• Blood disorders (tiredness, easy bruising, infections)
• Low blood pressure, increased heart rate
• Joint or muscle pain
• Stomach pain
• Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea (blood in stool, stomach pain, watery stools, dehydration, fever)
• Steven-Johnson syndrome (skin with rashes, blisters, pain along with fever)
• Overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms, including fungi
• Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (areas with redness and swelling on body along with fever)
• Toxic epidermal necrolysis (painful red area without blister formation which spreads quickly and causes skin to peel, fever, chills)
• Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS)
• Intra cranial hypertension (headache, blurred or double vision, loss of vision)
• Angioedema (swelling in face, lips, mouth, throat with difficulty in swallowing and breathing)
• Anaphylactic shock (increased heart rate, over sweating, fall in blood pressure, fainting)

In Dosage Instructions for Anti-inflammatory Drugs, consult your doctor due to the potential spread of infection.
