Doxycycline is used to treat bacterial infections,
including pneumonia, lyme disease, acne, venereal
(sexually transmitted) diseases, and inhalational
anthrax (after exposure). It also is used to prevent
malaria. Doxycycline is in a class of medications
called tetracycline antibiotics. It works by preventing
the growth and spread of bacteria. Antibiotics will
not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections.

Cipro is used to treat infections of the lower respiratory
tract, the abdomen, the skin, the bones and joints,
and the urinary tract, including cystitis (bladder
inflammation) in women. It is also prescribed for
severe sinus or bronchial infections, infectious diarrhea,
typhoid fever, inhalational anthrax, infections of
the prostate gland, and some sexually transmitted
diseases such as gonorrhea. Additionally, some doctors
prescribe Cipro for certain serious ear infections,
tuberculosis, and some of the infections common in
people with AIDS. Because Cipro is effective only
for certain types of bacterial infections, before
beginning treatment your doctor may perform tests
to identify the specific organisms causing your infection.
