2. How to use Mondoxine NL

Read the medication instructions provided by your doctor carefully before you start taking Mondoxyne NL and each time you are given a refill. If you have any questions about how to use this antibiotic, ask your doctor.
Mondoxine NL is to be taken orally, preferably on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal, usually 1 to 2 times daily or as directed by your doctor. You should take the medicine with a full glass of water (240ml) unless otherwise directed.
If you have an upset stomach, taking it with food or milk may help. However, Mondoxine may not work as well if you take it with food or milk (or anything high in calcium), so ask your doctor if you can take it your usual way. . Do not lie down for at least 10 minutes after taking Mondoxine NL.
Take Mondoxine NL 2 to 3 hours before or after taking any product containing calcium, aluminum, iron, magnesium, zinc, or bismuth subsalicylate. Some examples are antacids, didanosine solutions, quinapril, vitamins/minerals, dairy products (such as milk, yogurt) and calcium-rich juices. These products bind to the doxycycline in Mondoxine NL, preventing your body from absorbing the drug completely.
When using Mondoxine NL to prevent malaria, it is usually given once daily. Take the first dose of this medication 1 to 2 days before travelling or as directed by your doctor. Continue taking this medication daily while in a malaria-endemic area. When you return home, you should continue taking Mondoxine NL for another 4 weeks. If you are unable to complete this course of Mondoxine, contact your doctor.
If you are using the liquid form of Mondoxine NL, shake the bottle well before each use. Measure the dose of medicine carefully with a special measuring tool/spoon, do not use a household spoon.

If Mondoxine NL is being used to prevent malaria, it is important to understand that you can still get the disease even if you have used this medicine. You need to avoid mosquito bites when trying to prevent malaria.
