The National Institute of Health (NIH) has published a new study which shows there's no risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea.The Lancet published in this week's New England Journal of Medicine, found no link between doxycycline and antibiotic-associated diarrhoea.
The authors, led by Dr Emily Carter, a clinical professor of gastroenterology at New York University School of Medicine, found no significant link between doxycycline and antibiotic-associated diarrhoea.
'The evidence for the risk of diarrhoea in the general population is very weak and inconsistent,' Dr Carter said.
'The evidence for the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea in the general population is quite weak and inconsistent' because the study was designed to be conducted in patients with a history of diarrhoea, which is when antibiotics are prescribed.
Dr Carter is a senior investigator for the National Institute of Health.
'The results of this study provide no evidence that there is a link between doxycycline and antibiotic-associated diarrhoea,' Dr Carter said.
'This study will provide further evidence that doxycycline is an effective antibiotic for the prevention and treatment of diarrhoea, and could be used in other settings.'
There is no evidence that doxycycline can increase the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea.
But the authors found a link between doxycycline and antibiotic-associated diarrhoea in the general population, with a statistically significant increase in the number of cases of diarrhoea associated with the use of the antibiotic, compared with the general population who did not take the antibiotic.
The authors explained that it is important to understand the link between doxycycline and antibiotic-associated diarrhoea because the study was designed to be conducted in patients with a history of diarrhoea.
'There is no evidence that the use of doxycycline increases the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea,' Dr Carter said.
'Our results show that doxycycline can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea in patients with a history of diarrhoea.'
'The association between doxycycline and antibiotic-associated diarrhoea is consistent with the existing evidence that the association is small and weak,' she added.
'We hope the study will be of use to clinicians in other settings.'
Dr Carter says the study was designed to be conducted in patients with a history of diarrhoea.
'We would like to emphasize that this study has the potential to inform treatment decisions,' she said.
'It is also important to note that the study design was designed to be conducted in patients with a history of diarrhoea. It was not designed to be a clinical trial.'
Dr Carter says she hopes the findings will help the public make informed decisions about which antibiotics are best for them.
She says she is'very concerned' about the potential for antibiotic-associated diarrhoea, which is the most common form of diarrhoea.
She also said the study was designed to be conducted in the'most important public health condition in the world.'

Malaria is a serious tropical disease spread by mosquitoes. If it isn’t diagnosed and treated promptly, it can be fatal.
A single mosquito bite is all it takes for someone to become infected.
Symptoms of malaria
It’s important to be aware of the symptoms of malaria if you’re travelling to areas where there’s a high risk of the disease. Symptoms include:
a high temperature (fever) sweats and chills headaches vomiting muscle pains diarrhoea Symptoms usually appear between 7 and 18 days after becoming infected, but in some cases the symptoms may not appear for up to a year, or occasionally even longer.
When to seek medical attention
Seek medical help immediately if you develop symptoms of malaria during or after a visit to an area where the disease is found.
Malaria risk areas
Malaria is found in more than 100 countries, mainly in tropical regions of the world, including:
large areas of Africa and Asia Central and South America Haiti and the Dominican Republic parts of the Middle East some Pacific islands
Thehas more information about the risk of malaria in specific countries.
Preventing malaria
Many cases of malaria can be avoided. An easy way to remember is the ABCD approach to prevention:
Awareness of risk – find out whether you’re at risk of getting malaria before travelling Bite prevention – avoid mosquito bites by using insect repellent, covering your arms and legs, and using an insecticide-treated mosquito net Check whether you need to take malaria prevention tablets – if you do, make sure you take the right antimalarial tablets at the right dose, and finish the course Diagnosis – seek immediate medical advice if you develop malaria symptoms, as long as up to a year after you return from travelling
