Pharmacodynamics

Broad-spectrum antibiotic from the tetracycline group. It acts bacteriostatically, suppresses protein synthesis in the microbial cell by interacting with the 30S ribosomal subunit. Active against many gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms: Streptococcus spp., Treponema spp., Staphylococcus spp., Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp. (including E. aerugenes), Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae, Chlamydia spp., Mycoplasma spp., Ureaplasma urealyticum, Listeria monocytogenes, Rickettsia spp., Typhus exanthematicus, Escherichia coli, Shigella spp., Campylobacter fetus, Vibrio cholerae, Yersinia spp. (including Yersinia pestis), Brucella spp., Francisella tularensis, Bacillus anthracis, Bartonella bacilliformis, Pasteurella multocida, Borrelia recurrentis, Clostridium spp. (except Clostridium difficile), Actinomyces spp., Fusobacterium fusiforme, Calymmatobacterium granulomatis, Propionibacterium acnes, some protozoa (Entamoeba spp., Plasmodium falciparum).

As a rule, it has no effect on Acinetobacter spp., Proteus spp., Pseudomonas spp., Serratia spp., Providencia spp., Enterococcus spp.

The possibility of acquired resistance to doxycycline in a number of pathogens, which is often cross-linked within a group, should be taken into account (i.e., strains resistant to doxycycline will simultaneously be resistant to the entire group of tetracyclines).

Pharmacokinetics

Suction

Absorption is fast and high (about 100%). Food intake has little effect on the absorption of the drug.

Cmax of doxycycline in blood plasma (2.6–3 μg/ml) is achieved 2 hours after taking 200 mg; after 24 hours, the concentration of the active substance in blood plasma decreases to 1.5 μg/ml.

After taking 200 mg on the first day of treatment and 100 mg/day on subsequent days, the plasma concentration of doxycycline is 1.5–3 mcg/ml.

Distribution

Doxycycline binds reversibly to plasma proteins (80–90%), penetrates well into organs and tissues, poorly into the cerebrospinal fluid (10–20% of plasma levels), however, the concentration of doxycycline in the cerebrospinal fluid increases with inflammation spinal membrane.

Volume of distribution - 1.58 l/kg. 30–45 minutes after oral administration, doxycycline is found in therapeutic concentrations in the liver, kidneys, lungs, spleen, bones, teeth, prostate gland, eye tissue, pleural and ascitic fluids, bile, synovial exudate, exudate of the maxillary and frontal sinuses, in gingival sulcus fluids.

With normal liver function, the level of the drug in bile is 5–10 times higher than in plasma.

Analogues of Unidox Solutab

Level 4 ATC code matches:
Vibramycin

Doxycycline hydrochloride

Doxycycline

The most common analogues:

Doxycycline
Vidoccin
Vibramycin
Doxibene
Doxa-M-Ratiopharm
Tigacil

The price of analogues differs significantly from the original, most often it is lower.

Doxycycline or Unidox Solutab - which is better?

The main difference between the drugs is the fact that Unidox does not have such a strong effect on the stomach and does not cause side effects characteristic of Doxycycline ( stomach ulcer , gastritis ). Absorption of the active substance occurs in the intestines and almost 100% of the medicine is absorbed by the body. The only advantage of doxycycline is its extremely low cost compared to the original.

What is the difference between Unidox and Unidox Solutab?

The prefix “Solyutab” in the name of the drug means that the tablet can be crushed and dissolved in water to prepare a suspension for administration. This method of taking the medicine is preferable for children.

infections of the skin and soft tissues (including wound infections after animal bites), severe acne (as part of combination therapy);

other diseases (yaws, legionellosis, chlamydia of various localizations (including prostatitis and proctitis), rickettsiosis, Q fever, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, typhus (including typhus, tick-borne relapsing), Lyme disease (I stage. - erythema migrans), tularemia, plague, actinomycosis, malaria; infectious diseases of the eyes (as part of combination therapy - trachoma); leptospirosis, psittacosis, ornithosis, anthrax (including pulmonary form), bartonellosis, granulocytic ehrlichiosis; whooping cough, brucellosis, osteomyelitis; sepsis, subacute septic endocarditis, peritonitis);

prevention of postoperative purulent complications;

prevention of malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum during short-term travel (less than 4 months) to areas where strains resistant to chloroquine and/or pyrimethamine-sulfadoxine are common.

Side effects

From the gastrointestinal tract: anorexia, nausea, vomiting, dysphagia, diarrhea; enterocolitis, pseudomembranous colitis.

Dermatological and allergic reactions: urticaria, photosensitivity, angioedema, anaphylactic reactions, exacerbation of systemic lupus erythematosus, maculopapular and erythematous rash, pericarditis, exfoliative dermatitis.

From the liver: liver damage during long-term use or in patients with renal or hepatic insufficiency.

From the kidneys: an increase in residual urea nitrogen (due to the anti-anabolic effect).

From the hematopoietic system: hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, eosinophilia, decreased prothrombin activity.

From the nervous system: benign increase in intracranial pressure (anorexia, vomiting, headache, papilledema), vestibular disorders (dizziness or instability).

On the thyroid gland: in patients receiving doxycycline for a long time, reversible dark brown discoloration of the thyroid tissue is possible.

From the side of teeth and bones: doxycycline slows down osteogenesis, disrupts the normal development of teeth in children (the color of teeth irreversibly changes, enamel hypoplasia develops).

Other: candidiasis (stomatitis, glossitis, proctitis, vaginitis) as a manifestation of superinfection.

Reviews about Unidox Solutab

Reviews in gynecology. The drug has good reviews in the treatment of gynecological diseases, for example chlamydia . Patients who were prescribed the drug for chlamydia note that the antibiotic is easily tolerated and effective. Although sometimes side effects occur in the form of headaches and disruption of the digestive system.

Reviews for use against ureaplasma are also good, many are of the opinion that the drug is almost the only effective way to get rid of the disease.

Reviews of Unidox Solutab for acne. a dermatologist may prescribe antibiotics to treat acne For most patients, acne medication helps, but then other problems arise due to the medication's side effects. For many, following a therapeutic diet helped better than those taking an antibiotic.

Interaction

Antacids containing aluminum, magnesium, calcium, iron preparations, sodium bicarbonate, magnesium-containing laxatives reduce the absorption of doxycycline, so their use should be separated by an interval of 3 hours.

Due to the suppression of intestinal microflora by doxycycline, the prothrombin index decreases, which requires dose adjustment of indirect anticoagulants.

When doxycycline is combined with bactericidal antibiotics that interfere with cell wall synthesis (penicillins, cephalosporins), the effectiveness of the latter is reduced.

Doxycycline reduces the reliability of contraception and increases the frequency of acyclic bleeding when taking estrogen-containing hormonal contraceptives.

Ethanol, barbiturates, rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin and other stimulants of microsomal oxidation, accelerating the metabolism of doxycycline, reduce its concentration in the blood plasma.

The simultaneous use of doxycycline and retinol increases intracranial pressure.

special instructions

There is a possibility of cross-resistance and hypersensitivity to other tetracycline drugs.

Tetracyclines may increase PT; use of tetracyclines in patients with coagulopathies should be carefully monitored.

The anti-anabolic effect of tetracyclines can lead to an increase in the level of residual urea nitrogen in the blood. As a rule, this is not significant for patients with normal renal function. However, in patients with renal failure, an increase in azotemia may occur. The use of tetracyclines in patients with impaired renal function requires medical supervision.

With long-term use of the drug, periodic monitoring of laboratory blood parameters, liver and kidney function is required.

Due to the possible development of photodermatitis, it is necessary to limit exposure to insolation during treatment and for 4–5 days after it.

Long-term use of the drug can cause dysbacteriosis and, as a result, the development of hypovitaminosis (especially B vitamins).

To prevent dyspeptic symptoms, it is recommended to take the drug with meals.

The specific effects on the ability to drive a car and operate machinery have not been studied.
