DoxyPEP is a post-exposure prophylactic (PEP) regimen using doxycycline, designed to reduce the risk of bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis. When taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, DoxyPEP works proactively to prevent infections—similar to how emergency contraception helps prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse.

Questions?
DoxyPEP (doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis) is a clinician-guided prevention approach that may reduce the likelihood of certain bacterial STIs after higher-risk sexual exposure, when appropriate for you. It does not prevent HIV and does not replace condoms, routine testing, or other prevention strategies.
When prescribed and used as directed, DoxyPEP may reduce the chance of some bacterial STIs, such as chlamydia and syphilis. Effectiveness can vary by person and local resistance patterns. Your clinician will review whether it’s appropriate.
No. Doxycycline is an antibiotic and does not prevent HIV. If you want HIV prevention options, ask your clinician about PrEP, PEP, and testing schedules that fit your risk profile.
Eligibility is individualized. Your clinician will consider your sexual health history, recent STI testing, medications, allergies, and potential benefits vs. risks. DoxyPEP is not suitable for everyone.
Your clinician will prescribe the appropriate dose and instructions for you. If doxycycline 100mg capsules are supplied, you should follow your plan exactly as provided in your clinical instructions.
Timing is an important part of safe and effective use. Follow your clinician’s guidance for when to take your dose after an exposure. If you’re unsure what to do, message your care team before taking any medication.
Yes. DoxyPEP is not a complete prevention solution. Condoms, routine STI screening, symptom awareness, and HIV prevention options remain important.
Common side effects can include nausea, upset stomach, heartburn, and sensitivity to sunlight. Rare but serious reactions can occur. Stop and seek urgent care for signs of severe allergy (swelling, trouble breathing, hives).
Many people tolerate doxycycline better with a full glass of water and by staying upright afterward. Follow your clinician’s instructions about taking it with food. Do not take it right before lying down.
Some products (especially those containing calcium, magnesium, aluminum, iron, or zinc) can interfere with absorption. Your clinician will advise how to separate doses if needed.
Antibiotic resistance is a real consideration. That’s why DoxyPEP should only be used under clinician guidance, with appropriate eligibility screening and follow-up.
If you develop symptoms (e.g., discharge, sores, rash, burning when urinating, pelvic/testicular pain), you should get tested and evaluated promptly. Do not rely on DoxyPEP to treat symptoms.
Testing frequency depends on your risk profile and local guidance. Many people benefit from routine screening on a regular schedule. Your clinician will recommend an interval that fits your situation.
Some people use both, but it must be clinician-guided to ensure it’s appropriate and safe given your medical history and medications. Tell your clinician all prescriptions and supplements you use.
Doxycycline may not be appropriate if you have a known allergy to tetracyclines, certain medical conditions, or are pregnant/breastfeeding. Your clinician will screen for contraindications during your online visit.
No. DoxyPEP is generally discussed as a post-exposure approach (after certain exposures), not as a daily antibiotic regimen. Your clinician will explain the plan recommended for you.
Share your recent STI testing history, any symptoms, allergies, current medications (including acne treatments and supplements), and any medical conditions. Accurate information helps ensure safe prescribing.
