Mechanism of Action of Doxycycline Capsules IP 100 mg

Doxycycline, the active ingredient in Doxycycline Capsules IP 100 mg, works by:

Inhibiting Protein Synthesis: Doxycycline binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit of bacteria, preventing the attachment of aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosome.

Disrupting Bacterial Growth: This inhibition of protein synthesis disrupts the production of essential proteins required for bacterial growth and replication.

Bacteriostatic Effect: By halting protein synthesis, Doxycycline exerts a bacteriostatic effect, stopping the multiplication of bacteria and allowing the immune system to eliminate the infection.
