Could doxycycline100mg hyc cap treat stalph infection in the lungs?

Answer 1

Doxycycline hyclate/hydrochloride, 100 mg, is a broad-spectrum antibiotic which has been used to treat strains of b-hemolytic streptococcus; it also can be used against some gram-positive strains of staphylococcus bacteria, as an effective treatment for serious and advanced lunginfections, as well as, other pulmonary infections, such as pneumonia, empyema and lung abscesses.

It comes in various forms and dosages, such as injectable (powder for injections come in 100 mg and 200 mg vials), capsules (delayed-release capsules are 75 mg and 100 mg) and tablets 100 mg and 200 mg. It also comes in generic forms(tetracycline antibiotic), clindamycin, linezolid, minocycline, rifampin or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole; these antibiotics are used in the treatment of staph.

Treatment and dosage of Doxycycline hyclate/hydrochloridedepends upon the type of lung/pulmonary infection. The usual adult dose of Doxycycline is 200 mg, the first dose moving to a lower dose as the treatment regime continues. This drug has been shown to improve lung function in patients whose symptoms are stable; this drug is very useful in the treatment of bacterial respiratory infections.
