Periostat (active ingredient: doxycycline hyclate) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Periodontitis: Periostat is used as an adjunct to scaling and root planing to promote attachment level gain and to reduce pocket depth in adults with periodontitis.

Periostat belongs to a class of drugs known as tetracycline antibiotics, which work by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and reducing the inflammatory response in periodontal tissues.

Periostat comes in the form of tablets to take by mouth and should be taken at least one hour before the morning and evening meals. Take Periostat with a full glass of water to ensure the medication does not stay in the esophagus and cause irritation.

Take Periostat as directed by your doctor. If you happen to miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and follow your regular dosing schedule. If it is close to the time of your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose. If you are unsure of what to do after missing a dose, seek advice from your doctor or pharmacist.

The recommended dosage for Periostat is to take it twice daily at 12-hour intervals, usually in the morning and evening. The usual recommended dose of Periostat is 20 mg twice a day. It is indicated for treatment periods of 3 months and should not be administered for more than 3 consecutive three month periods. However, the exact dosage may vary depending on the individual case, follow the specific dosage instructions provided by your doctor.
