Patient summary
Doxycycline 100mg capsules and tablets, used for acne vulgaris, chlamydia, Lyme disease and respiratory tract infection. A broad-spectrum tetracycline.
Mechanism of action
A broad-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, stopping the growth of bacteria and reducing inflammation in skin conditions like acne.
Vibramycin delivers Doxycycline, an antibiotic used to manage acne vulgaris, chlamydia trachomatis, and lyme disease. The same active ingredient is also sold under brand names including Doxy-100, Lyranda, and Doxt. Manufacturers provide the tablet form in the 100mg strength.
Buying Vibramycin online
The medication remains widely accessible to patients throughout the region. Generic Doxycycline, much of which is made in India, is far more affordable than the original brand, offering a practical solution for expats and people living far from well-stocked sources. This medicine is best used under a doctor’s care.
What you will receive
Vibramycin is the originator brand name, made by Pfizer. We use it here to identify the medicine only; we are not affiliated with Pfizer and do not ship the original Vibramycin.
- You receive a generic equivalent: the same active ingredient (Doxycycline) at the same dose, mostly recognised Indian branded generics from vetted manufacturers.
- The exact brand supplied depends on what is in stock at the dispatching warehouse.
- A regulated generic matches the original ingredient for ingredient by legal standard.
