Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

Do not use doxycycline capsules for treating bacterial infections, providing antibacterial prophylaxis, or reducing the numbers or eliminating microorganisms associated with any bacterial disease.

( 1.2 ) Doxycycline capsules have not been evaluated for the treatment of the erythematous, telangiectatic, or ocular components of rosacea. ( 1.2 )

1.1Indication Doxycycline capsules are indicated for the treatment of only inflammatory lesions (papules and pustules) of rosacea in adult patients. No meaningful effect was demonstrated for generalized erythema (redness) of rosacea.

1.2Limitations of Use This formulation of doxycycline has not been evaluated in the treatment or prevention of infections. Do not use doxycycline capsules for treating bacterial infections, providing antibacterial prophylaxis, or reducing the numbers or eliminating microorganisms associated with any bacterial disease. To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria as well as to maintain the effectiveness of other antibacterial drugs, doxycycline capsules should be used only as indicated.

Doxycycline capsules have not been evaluated for the treatment of the erythematous, telangiectatic, or ocular components of rosacea.

⏱️ Dosage and Administration 160 words ▾

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Take one doxycycline capsule (40 mg) once daily in the morning on an empty stomach, preferably at least one hour prior to or two hours after meals. ( 2.1 ) Exceeding the recommended dosage may result in an increased incidence of side effects including the development of resistant microorganisms. ( 2.2 , 5.9 )

2.1General Dosing Information Take one doxycycline capsule (40 mg) once daily in the morning on an empty stomach, preferably at least one hour prior to or two hours after meals. Administration of adequate amounts of fluid along with the capsules is recommended to wash down the capsule to reduce the risk of esophageal irritation and ulceration [see Adverse Reactions (6) ] .

2.2Important Considerations for Dosing Regimen The dosage of doxycycline capsules differs from that of doxycycline used to treat infections. Exceeding the recommended dosage may result in an increased incidence of side effects including the development of resistant organisms.

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ~3 min read ▾

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS The use of doxycycline capsules during tooth development (the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, infancy and childhood up to the age of 8 years) may cause permanent discoloration of the teeth (yellow-gray-brown) and reversible inhibition of bone growth. ( 5.1 , 5.2 , 8.1 , 8.4 ) Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon leading to overgrowth of Clostridium difficile . If C. difficile associated diarrhea occurs, discontinue doxycycline capsules.

( 5.3 ) If renal impairment exists, doxycycline capsules doses may need to be adjusted to avoid excessive systemic accumulations of the drug and possible liver injury. ( 5.4 ) Photosensitivity can occur with doxycycline capsules; Patients should minimize or avoid exposure to natural or artificial sunlight. ( 5.5 ) Tetracyclines have been associated with the development of autoimmune syndromes; if symptoms develop, discontinue doxycycline capsules immediately.

( 5.6 ) Doxycycline capsules may cause pseudotumor cerebri (benign intracranial hypertension). Discontinue doxycycline capsules if symptoms occur. ( 5.8 ) Bacterial resistance to tetracyclines may develop in patients using doxycycline capsules.

It should only be used as indicated. ( 5.9 )

5.1Inhibition of Bone Growth During Fetal and Pediatric Development Doxycycline, like other tetracycline-class drugs, may cause inhibition of bone growth when administered during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, infancy, and childhood. All tetracyclines form a stable calcium complex in any bone-forming tissue. A decrease in fibula growth rate has been observed in premature human infants given oral tetracycline in doses of 25 mg/kg every 6 hours.

This reaction was shown to be reversible when the drug was discontinued. If doxycycline is used during the second or third trimester of pregnancy, advise the patient of the potential risk to the fetus [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] .

5.2Tooth Discoloration During Fetal and Pediatric Development The use of tetracycline class drugs orally during tooth development (last half of pregnancy, infancy, and childhood up to the age of 8 years) may cause permanent discoloration of the teeth (yellow-gray-brown). This adverse reaction is more common during long-term use of the drug but has been observed following repeated short-term courses. Enamel hypoplasia has also been reported.

Use of tetracycline drugs is not recommended during tooth development [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] .

5.3Clostridium difficile Associated Diarrhea (CDAD) Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported with nearly all antibacterial agents, including doxycycline, and may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis. Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon leading to overgrowth of C. difficile . C. difficile produces toxins A and B which contribute to the development of CDAD.

Hypertoxin producing strains of C. difficile cause increased morbidity and mortality, as these infections can be refractory to antimicrobial therapy and may require colectomy. CDAD must be considered in all patients who present with diarrhea following antibiotic use. Careful medical history is necessary since CDAD has been reported to occur over two months after the administration of antibacterial agents.

If CDAD is suspected or confirmed, ongoing antibiotic use not directed against C. difficile may need to be discontinued. Appropriate management should be instituted as clinically indicated.

5.4Metabolic Effects The anti-anabolic action of the tetracyclines may cause an increase in BUN. While this is not a problem in those with normal renal function, in patients with significantly impaired function, higher serum levels of tetracycline-class antibiotics may lead to azotemia, hyperphosphatemia, and acidosis. If renal impairment exists, even usual oral or parenteral doses may lead to excessive systemic accumulati… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS Some of the most common adverse reactions (incidence >2% and more common than with placebo) are nasopharyngitis, sinusitis, diarrhea, hypertension and aspartate aminotransferase increase. ( 6 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact AiPing Pharmaceutical, Inc. at 1-844-374-0016 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Adverse Reactions in Clinical Trials of Doxycycline Capsules: In controlled clinical trials of adult subjects with mild to moderate rosacea, 537 subjects received doxycycline capsules or placebo over a 16-week period. The following table summarizes selected adverse reactions that occurred in the clinical trials at a rate of ≥ 1% for the active arm: Table 1.

Adverse Reactions for Tetracyclines: The following adverse reactions have been observed in patients receiving tetracyclines at higher, antimicrobial doses: Gastrointestinal: anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, glossitis, dysphagia, enterocolitis, and inflammatory lesions (with vaginal candidiasis) in the anogenital region. Hepatotoxicity, Esophagitis and esophageal ulcerations have been reported in patients receiving the capsule forms of the drugs in the tetracycline-class. Most of the patients experiencing esophagitis and/or esophageal ulceration took their medication immediately before lying down [see Dosage and Administration (2) ] .

Renal toxicity: Rise in BUN has been reported and is apparently dose-related [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] . Skin: maculopapular and erythematous rashes. Exfoliative dermatitis.

Photosensitivity is discussed above [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] . Hypersensitivity reactions: urticaria, angioneurotic edema, anaphylaxis, anaphylactoid purpura, serum sickness, pericarditis, and exacerbation of systemic lupus erythematosus. Blood: Hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and eosinophilia.

6.2Postmarketing Adverse Reactions Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. The following adverse reactions have been identified during post approval use of doxycycline capsules. Nervous system: Pseudotumor cerebri (benign intracranial hypertension), headache.

Skin: fixed drug eruption Psychiatric: depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, insomnia, abnormal dreams, hallucination

🔄 Drug Interactions ~1 min read ▾

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Patients on anticoagulant therapy may require downward adjustment of their anticoagulant dosage. ( 7.1 ) Some bacteriostatic drugs may interfere with the bactericidal action of penicillin, it is advisable to avoid giving tetracycline-class drugs in conjunction with penicillin. ( 7.2 ) The concurrent use of tetracycline and methoxyflurane has been reported to result in fatal renal toxicity. ( 7.3 )

7.1Anticoagulants Because tetracyclines have been shown to depress plasma prothrombin activity, patients who are on anticoagulant therapy may require downward adjustment of their anticoagulant dosage.

7.2Penicillin Since bacteriostatic drugs may interfere with the bactericidal action of penicillin, it is advisable to avoid giving tetracycline-class drugs in conjunction with penicillin.

7.3Methoxyflurane The concurrent use of tetracycline and methoxyflurane has been reported to result in fatal renal toxicity.

7.4Antacids and Iron Preparations Absorption of tetracyclines is impaired by bismuth subsalicylate, proton pump inhibitors, antacids containing aluminum, calcium or magnesium and iron-containing preparations.

7.5Oral Retinoids There have been reports of pseudotumor cerebri (benign intracranial hypertension) associated with the concomitant use of isotretinoin and tetracyclines. Since both oral retinoids, including isotretinoin and acitretin, and the tetracyclines, primarily minocycline, can cause increased intracranial pressure, the concurrent use of an oral retinoid and a tetracycline should be avoided.

7.6Barbiturates and Anti-epileptics Barbiturates, carbamazepine, and phenytoin decrease the half-life of doxycycline.

7.7Drug/Laboratory Test Interactions False elevations of urinary catecholamine levels may occur due to interference with the fluorescence test.

👥 Use in Specific Populations ~2 min read ▾

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation: Breastfeeding is not recommended ( 8.2 )

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Doxycycline may cause reversible inhibition of bone growth and permanent discoloration of deciduous teeth when administered during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1 and 5.2) ] . Available data from published studies have not shown a difference in major birth defect risk with doxycycline exposure in the first trimester of pregnancy compared to unexposed pregnancies. Avoid use of doxycycline capsules during the second and third trimester of pregnancy.

The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2–4% and 15–20%, respectively.

Data Human Data Published studies, including epidemiological and observational studies, with use of doxycycline during the first trimester of pregnancy have not identified drug-related increases in major birth defects. The use of tetracycline during tooth development (second and third trimester of pregnancy) may cause permanent discoloration of deciduous teeth (yellow-gray-brown). This adverse reaction is more common during long-term use of the drug but has been observed following repeated short-term courses.

Animal Data Results from animal studies indicate that doxycycline crosses the placenta and is found in fetal tissues.

8.2Lactation Risk Summary Based on available published data, doxycycline is likely to be present in human breast milk but the specific concentration in breastmilk is not clear. There is no information on the effects of doxycycline on the breastfed infant or the effects on milk production. Because there are other antibacterial drug options available to treat rosacea in lactating women and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions, including tooth discoloration and inhibition of bone growth, advise patients that breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with doxycycline capsules and for 5 days after the last dose.

8.4Pediatric Use Doxycycline capsules should not be used in infants and children less than 8 years of age [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Doxycycline capsules have not been studied in children of any age with regard to safety or efficacy, therefore use in children is not recommended.

8.5Geriatric Use Clinical studies of doxycycline capsules did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and concomitant disease or other drug therapy.

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Doxycycline may cause reversible inhibition of bone growth and permanent discoloration of deciduous teeth when administered during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1 and 5.2) ] . Available data from published studies have not shown a difference in major birth defect risk with doxycycline exposure in the first trimester of pregnancy compared to unexposed pregnancies. Avoid use of doxycycline capsules during the second and third trimester of pregnancy.

The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2–4% and 15–20%, respectively.

Data Human Data Published studies, including epidemiological and observational studies, with use of doxycycline during the first trimester of pregnancy have not identified drug-related increases in major birth defects. The use of tetracycline during tooth development (second and third trimester of pregnancy) may cause permanent discoloration of deciduous teeth (yellow-gray-brown). This adverse reaction is more common during long-term use of the drug but has been observed following repeated short-term courses.

Animal Data Results from animal studies indicate that doxycycline crosses the placenta and is found in fetal tissues.

🧒 Pediatric Use 50 words ▾

8.4Pediatric Use Doxycycline capsules should not be used in infants and children less than 8 years of age [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Doxycycline capsules have not been studied in children of any age with regard to safety or efficacy, therefore use in children is not recommended.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action The mechanism of action of doxycycline capsules in the treatment of inflammatory lesions of rosacea is unknown.

12.3Pharmacokinetics Doxycycline capsules are not bioequivalent to other doxycycline products. The pharmacokinetics of doxycycline following oral administration of doxycycline capsules was investigated in 2 volunteer studies involving 61 adults. Pharmacokinetic parameters for doxycycline capsules following single oral doses and at steady-state in healthy subjects are presented in Table 2.

Table 2. Pharmacokinetic Parameters [Mean (±SD)] for Doxycycline Capsules N C max *(ng/mL) T max + (hr) AUC 0-∞ * (ng·hr/mL) t 1/2 * (hr) Single Dose 40 mg capsules 30 510 ± 220.7 3.00 (1.0-4.1) 9227 ± 3212.8 21.2 ±

7.6Steady-State# 40 mg capsules 31 600 ± 194.2 2.00 (1.0-4.0) 7543 ± 2443.9 23.2 ± 6.2 *Mean +Median #Day 7 Absorption: In a single-dose food-effect study involving administration of doxycycline capsules to healthy volunteers, concomitant administration with a 1000 calorie, high-fat, high-protein meal that included dairy products, resulted in a decrease in the rate and extent of absorption (C max and AUC) by about 45% and 22%, respectively, compared to dosing under fasted conditions. This decrease in systemic exposure can be clinically significant, and therefore if doxycycline capsules are taken close to meal times, it is recommended that it be taken at least one hour prior to or two hours after meals.

Distribution: Doxycycline is greater than 90% bound to plasma proteins. Metabolism: Major metabolites of doxycycline have not been identified. However, enzyme inducers such as barbiturates, carbamazepine, and phenytoin decrease the half-life of doxycycline.

Excretion: Doxycycline is excreted in the urine and feces as unchanged drug. It is reported that between 29% and 55.4% of an administered dose can be accounted for in the urine by 72 hours. Terminal half-life averaged 21.2 hours in subjects receiving a single dose of doxycycline capsules.

Special Populations Geriatric: Doxycycline pharmacokinetics have not been evaluated in geriatric patients. Pediatric: Doxycycline pharmacokinetics have not been evaluated in pediatric patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Gender: The pharmacokinetics of doxycycline capsules were compared in 16 male and 14 female subjects under fed and fasted conditions.

While female subjects had a higher C max and AUC than male subjects, these differences were thought to be due to differences in body weight/lean body mass. Race: Differences in doxycycline pharmacokinetics among racial groups have not been evaluated. Renal Insufficiency: Studies have shown no significant difference in serum half-life of doxycycline in patients with normal and severely impaired renal function.

Hemodialysis does not alter the serum half-life of doxycycline. Hepatic Insufficiency: Doxycycline pharmacokinetics have not been evaluated in patients with hepatic insufficiency. Gastric Insufficiency: In a study in healthy volunteers (N=24) the bioavailability of doxycycline is reported to be reduced at high pH.

This reduced bioavailability may be clinically significant in patients with gastrectomy, gastric bypass surgery or who are otherwise deemed achlorhydric. Drug Interactions: [see Drug Interactions (7) ] .

12.4Microbiology Doxycycline is a member of the tetracycline-class of drugs. The plasma concentrations of doxycycline achieved with doxycycline capsules during administration [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) and Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] are less than the concentration required to treat bacterial diseases. Doxycycline capsules should not be used for treating bacterial infections, providing antibacterial prophylaxis, or reducing the numbers or eliminating microorganisms associated with any bacterial disease [see Indications and Usage (1.2) ] .

In vivo microbiological studies utilizing a similar drug exposure for up to 18 months demonstrated no detecta… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

🔬 Clinical Studies ~1 min read ▾

14 CLINICAL STUDIES The safety and efficacy of doxycycline capsules in the treatment of only inflammatory lesions (papules and pustules) of rosacea was evaluated in two randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-centered, double-blind, 16-week Phase 3 trials involving 537 subjects (total of 269 subjects on doxycycline capsules from the two trials) with rosacea (10 to 40 papules and pustules and two or fewer nodules). Mean baseline lesion counts were 20 and 21 for doxycycline capsules and placebo subject groups respectively.

Pregnant and nursing women, subjects <18 years of age, and subjects with ocular rosacea and/or blepharitis/meibomianitis who require ophthalmologic treatment were excluded from trials. At Week 16, subjects in the doxycycline capsules group were evaluated using co-primary endpoints of mean reduction in lesion counts and a dichotomized static Investigator's Global Assessment of Clear or Almost Clear (defined as 1 to 2 small papules or pustules) when compared to the placebo group in both Phase 3 trials.

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Doxycycline was assessed for potential to induce carcinogenesis in a study in which the compound was administered to Sprague-Dawley rats by gavage at dosages of 20, 75, and 200 mg/kg/day for two years. An increased incidence of uterine polyps was observed in female rats that received 200 mg/kg/day, a dosage that resulted in a systemic exposure to doxycycline approximately 12.2 times that observed in female humans who use doxycycline capsules [exposure comparison based upon area under the curve (AUC) values].

No impact upon tumor incidence was observed in male rats up to at 200 mg/kg/day, or in females at the lower dosages studied. Doxycycline was assessed for potential to induce carcinogenesis in CD-1 mice by gavage at dosages 20, 75, and 150 mg/kg/day in males and at dosages of 20, 100, and 300 mg/kg/day in females. No impact upon tumor incidence was observed in male and female mice at systemic exposures approximately 4.2 and 8.3 times that observed in humans, respectively.

Doxycycline demonstrated no potential to cause genetic toxicity in an in vitro point mutation study with mammalian cells (CHO/HGPRT forward mutation assay) or in an in vivo micronucleus assay conducted in CD-1 mice. However, data from an in vitro mammalian chromosomal aberration assay conducted with CHO cells suggest that doxycycline is a weak clastogen. Oral administration of doxycycline to male and female Sprague-Dawley rats adversely affected fertility and reproductive performance, as evidenced by increased time for mating to occur, reduced sperm motility, velocity, and concentration, abnormal sperm morphology, and increased pre- and post-implantation losses.

Doxycycline induced reproductive toxicity at all dosages that were examined in this study, as even the lowest dosage tested (50 mg/kg/day) induced a statistically significant reduction in sperm velocity. Note that 50 mg/kg/day is approximately 3.6 times the amount of doxycycline contained in the recommended daily dose of doxycycline capsules when compared on the basis of AUC estimates. Although doxycycline impairs the fertility of rats when administered at sufficient dosage, the effect of doxycycline capsules on human fertility is unknown.

This information does not take the place of talking to your doctor about your medical condition or treatment.

What are doxycycline capsules? Doxycycline capsules are a tetracycline class medicine. Doxycycline capsules are a prescription medicine used in adults to treat only pimples or bumps (papules and pustules) caused by a condition called rosacea.

Doxycycline capsules do not lessen redness caused by rosacea. Doxycycline capsules should not be used for the treatment or prevention of infections. It is not known if doxycycline capsules are: effective for use for longer than 16 weeks. safe for use longer than 9 months. safe and effective in children.

Doxycycline capsules should not be used in infants and children less than 8 years of age because it may cause stained teeth in infants and children. Who should not take doxycycline capsules? Do not take doxycycline capsules if you are allergic to doxycycline or other medicines in the tetracycline class.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist for a list of these medicines if you are not sure. What should I tell my doctor before taking doxycycline capsules? Before you take doxycycline capsules tell your doctor if you: have kidney problems. have liver problems. have diarrhea or watery stools. have vision problems. have had surgery on your stomach (gastric surgery). have or had a yeast or fungal infection in your mouth or vagina. have any other medical condition. are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.

Doxycycline capsules may harm your unborn baby. Taking doxycycline capsules while you are pregnant may cause serious side effects on the growth of bone and teeth of your baby. Stop taking doxycycline capsules and call your doctor right away if you become pregnant while taking doxycycline capsules. are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed.

Doxycycline can pass into your breast milk and may harm your baby. Talk to your doctor about the best way to feed your baby if you take doxycycline capsules. You and your doctor should decide if you will take doxycycline capsules or breastfeed.

You should not do both. Tell your doctor about all of the medicines you take, including prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Doxycycline capsules and other medicines can affect each other causing serious side effects.

Especially tell your doctor if you take: a blood thinner medicine. a penicillin (antibacterial medicine). proton pump inhibitors or antacids that contain aluminum, calcium, or magnesium. products containing iron or bismuth subsalicylate. a medicine taken by mouth that contains isotretinoin or acitretin. a medicine to treat seizures, such as carbamazepineor or phenytoin. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for a full list of these medicines, if you are not sure. Know the medicines you take.

Keep a list of your medicines and show it to your doctor and pharmacist when you get a new medicine. How should I take doxycycline capsules? Take doxycycline capsules exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

Taking more than your prescribed dose may increase your chance of side effects, including the chance that bacteria will become resistant to doxycycline. Take doxycycline capsules 1 time a day in the morning on an empty stomach. You should take doxycycline capsules at least one hour before or two hours after a meal.

Take doxycycline capsules with enough fluid to completely swallow the capsule and to lower your risk of getting irritation or ulcer in your esophagus. Your esophagus is the tube that connects your mouth to your stomach. If you took too much doxycycline capsules call your doctor right away.

Your doctor may do blood tests during treatment with doxycycline capsules to check for side effects. What should I avoid while taking doxycycline capsules? Avoid sunlight or artificial sunlight, s… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]
