A novel oral antibiotic, doxycycline, is being evaluated for the prevention of malaria in Thailand and for use as a malaria preventive treatment in the country.
"We are going to see whether it's safe to use doxycycline to prevent malaria in Thailand," said P. K. Patel, Ph. D., assistant professor of chemistry at The University of Hong Kong and associate professor of medicine and epidemiology at King Abdulaziz University in Jalan, Jalan, in the Bangkok area. Patel, an associate professor of medicine at King Abdulaziz University, and co-author of the study, led the work that led to the study. Patel and his team were led by Drs. John D. Lee, Ph. D., and Ian C. D. from the University of Hong Kong and Drs. Robert T. D., Ph. D., and Professor of Medicine and Pharmacy at Queen Mary University of London.
"There are a number of potential risks associated with taking doxycycline, including potential interactions with other drugs, and side effects with alcohol. As a precautionary measure, we have made it a public health priority to ensure that our research is carried out in a safe and efficient manner," said Patel. Patel and his colleagues conducted a study on the safety and efficacy of doxycycline in malaria prevention.
In the current study, a combination of doxycycline and chloroquine was studied in Thai patients to determine whether the use of doxycycline is safe for the patients and whether doxycycline is more likely to cause liver damage.
The study involved 200 patients who received either 100 mg of doxycycline twice daily or 100 mg of chloroquine twice daily as a preventive treatment for malaria. The researchers evaluated the patients' medical records and assessed the patients' clinical response to the study.
The study was funded by Thailand Health Sciences Authority, the Department of Medical Sciences, University of Hong Kong and the Department of Pharmacy, King Abdulaziz University.
The findings of the study suggest that doxycycline and chloroquine have the potential to cause liver damage in Thai patients.
"These findings provide additional information on the safety of doxycycline as a preventive treatment and could contribute to the development of new treatments for malaria," said Patel.
"In the absence of data from other studies, it is likely that these findings will be further studied in future studies."
The study was conducted in collaboration with The University of Hong Kong and The University of Hong Kong's Department of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, and was funded by Thailand Health Sciences Authority, Department of Medical Sciences, University of Hong Kong and the Department of Pharmacy, King Abdulaziz University.
"These findings could help to ensure the safety of doxycycline as a preventive treatment in patients who are at increased risk of liver damage," said Patel. Patel and his colleagues also wanted to learn if doxycycline was more likely to cause liver damage.
In this study, doxycycline was administered orally in a single dose or in combination with chloroquine or either of these drugs in a separate group. Both drugs were given orally in a single dose or in combination with chloroquine or either of these drugs in a separate group.
The research team's findings were published in theAmerican Journal of Tropical Medicine.

A New Antimalarial Drug and its Potential for Use as a Preventive Treatment for Malaria
By
This is an extended version of a new study that looked at the safety and efficacy of a new oral antibiotic and its potential for use as a malaria preventive treatment in Thailand. The study is titled "Antimalarial Drug, Risk of Liver Damage, and Liver Injury in Japanese Patients Treated with Doxycycline."
The team recruited 200 patients who received either 100 mg of doxycycline twice daily or 100 mg of chloroquine twice daily as a preventive treatment for malaria.
Doxycycline is a popular antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including pneumonia, ear infections, and urinary tract infections. It is also often prescribed for dental infections and Lyme disease. Doxycycline is available in a variety of formulations, including tablets, suspensions, and capsules, making it a versatile and effective medication. When it comes to choosing between the two, it's important to consider the specific dosage, the frequency of use, and any other medications being taken. Doxycycline is commonly prescribed for dogs, cats, and birds, but it's also sometimes used for other infections, such as those caused by susceptible strains of bacteria. In this article, we will explore the different types of doxycycline, including dosage, frequency, and side effects. It's also important to note that doxycycline is not always suitable for everyone, so its use should be limited to those who are allergic to it or have a history of hypersensitivity. In addition, doxycycline can cause photosensitivity, which is a condition that occurs when the immune system mistakenly identifies and attacks the inside of the skin, causing the skin to peel red and blister, leading to redness and swelling. In conclusion, Doxycycline is a versatile medication, and its use can be beneficial for various bacterial infections, including pneumonia, ear infections, urinary tract infections, and dental infections. It's important to remember that doxycycline is not a cure, and its use should be limited to those who are allergic to it or have a history of hypersensitivity. Therefore, when it comes to choosing between the two, it's important to consider the specific dosage and frequency of use and any other medications being taken.

tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to doxycycline, minocycline, tetracycline, demeclocycline, any other medications, sulfites, or any of the ingredients in doxycycline capsules, extended-release capsules, tablets, extended-release tablets, or suspension. Ask your pharmacist for a list of the ingredients.
tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, and nutritional supplements you are taking or plan to take. Be sure to mention any of the following: acitretin (Soriatane); anticoagulants ('blood thinners') such as warfarin (Coumadin, Jantoven); barbiturates such as butabarbital (Butisol), phenobarbital, and secobarbital (Seconal); bismuth subsalicylate; carbamazepine (Epitol, Tegretol, others); isotretinoin (Absorica, Amnesteem, Clavaris, Myorisan, Zenatane); penicillin; phenytoin (Dilantin, Phenytek); and proton pump inhibitors such as dexlansoprazole (Dexilant), esomeprazole (Nexium, in Vimovo), lansoprazole (Prevacid, in Prevpac), omeprazole (Prilosec, in Yosprala, Zegerid), pantoprazole (Protonix), and rabeprazole (Aciphex). Your doctor may need to change the doses of your medications or monitor you carefully for side effects.
be aware that antacids containing magnesium, aluminum, or calcium, calcium supplements, iron products, and laxatives containing magnesium interfere with doxycycline, making it less effective. Take doxycycline 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking antacids, calcium supplements, and laxatives containing magnesium. Take doxycycline 2 hours before or 4 hours after iron preparations and vitamin products that contain iron.
tell your doctor if you have or have ever had lupus (condition in which the immune system attacks many tissues and organs including the skin, joints, blood, and kidneys), intracranial hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri; high pressure in the skull that may cause headaches, blurry or double vision, vision loss, and other symptoms), a yeast infection in your mouth or vagina, surgery on your stomach, asthma, or kidney or liver disease.
you should know that doxycycline may decrease the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives (birth control pills, patches, rings, or injections). Talk to your doctor about using another form of birth control.
tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding. If you become pregnant while taking doxycycline, call your doctor immediately. Doxycycline can harm the fetus.
plan to avoid unnecessary or prolonged exposure to sunlight and to wear protective clothing, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Doxycycline may make your skin sensitive to sunlight. Tell your doctor right away if you get a sunburn.
you should know that when doxycycline is used during pregnancy or in babies or children up to 8 years of age, it can cause the teeth to become permanently stained. Doxycycline should not be used in children under 8 years of age except for inhalational anthrax, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, or if your doctor decides it is needed.
Doxycycline is a tetracycline antibiotic belonging to the tetracycline family to treat infections caused by bacteria. Doxycycline is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections (UTI), skin and soft tissue infections, intra-abdominal (SSTI) infections, and certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Doxycycline may also be used to treat moderate to severe tooth rot, Lyme disease, and protozoa.
Advantages of doxycyclineDoxycycline may be used in some cases of bacterial infections such as lowerALT (anorexia/adequate thinning of the teeth). It may be used with or without food.
Conditions of tooth infectionDoxycycline may decrease the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives (birth control pills, patches, rings, or injections). You should also be aware that doxycycline may cause dizziness or drowsiness in some people.
