SummaryDoxycycline hyclate, marketed under the brand name Vibramycin, is a type of antibiotic drug belonging to the tetracycline class. The original manufacturer of doxycycline hyclate was Pfizer, who first developed the medication and obtained FDA approval in 1967 for the treatment of various bacterial infections. Doxycycline hyclate works by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, which inhibits bacterial protein synthesis and prevents bacteria from growing and spreading. It has bacteriostatic activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. This medication is available in different forms, including tablets, capsules, and syrup, for oral administration.
