🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionDoxycycline is almost completely absorbed after oral administration; absorption is not significantly affected by food or milk. Lactobacillus is not absorbed.
DistributionDoxycycline is widely distributed into tissues and body fluids, including cerebrospinal fluid; crosses placenta and enters breast milk.
Protein BindingDoxycycline: 80-90% bound to plasma proteins.
MetabolismDoxycycline is partially metabolized in the liver via glucuronidation.
Half-LifeDoxycycline: 18-22 hours (single dose), up to 22-24 hours with multiple doses.
ExcretionDoxycycline: primarily excreted in feces (via bile) and urine (about 40%). Lactobacillus is eliminated in feces.
BioavailabilityDoxycycline: approximately 90-100%.
Onset of ActionDoxycycline: 1-2 hours.
Peak Plasma TimeDoxycycline: 2-4 hours.
Duration of ActionDoxycycline: 12-24 hours.

How It Works

Doxycycline inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, preventing aminoacyl-tRNA binding. Lactobacillus restores intestinal flora.

Mechanism Steps

1Doxycycline enters bacterial cell via passive diffusion and active transport.
2Binds reversibly to the 30S ribosomal subunit.
3Prevents binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex.
4Inhibits protein synthesis, leading to bacteriostatic effect.
5Lactobacillus colonizes the gut and restores normal flora, reducing antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
