Vibramycin Iv IV

Vibramycin Iv IV Uses

Doxycycline is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. This medication is known as a tetracycline antibiotic. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.

This antibiotic treats only bacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections (e.g., common cold, flu). Unnecessary use or misuse of any antibiotic can lead to its decreased effectiveness.

How To Use Vibramycin Iv IV

This medication is given by injection into a vein by a health care professional, usually once or twice daily or as directed by your doctor. Doxycycline must be mixed with the proper IV fluids. Before using this product, check it visually for particles or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid. This medication should be infused slowly over at least 1 hour (usual range is 1 to 4 hours). If you have questions about the use of this medication, consult your pharmacist.

The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. When treating children older than 8 years, the dosage is also based on weight.

Antibiotics work best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level. Therefore, use this drug at evenly spaced intervals.

Continue to use this medication for the full time prescribed, even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may result in a return of the infection.

Inform your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.
