    Doxycycline is an antibiotic that also can be used to prevent malaria. It is available in the United States by prescription only. It is sold under multiple brand names and it is also sold as a generic medicine. It is available in tablets, capsules, and an oral liquid formulation. Two equally effective types of doxycycline are available, doxycycline hyclate and doxycycline monohydrate.

    Doxycycline can be prescribed by itself for the prevention of malaria or in combination with another medicine for treatment of malaria.

    This fact sheet provides information about its use for the prevention of malaria infection associated with travel.
