PERIOSTAT is a generic term for a broad spectrum antibacterial agent. The drug used is Doxycycline Hyclate. It belongs to the ‘tetracycline’ class of antibiotics. Patients Buy PERIOSTAT Online which is used in patients with gum disease (periodontitis) after a certain dental procedure like scaling and root planing. The drug is available in form of capsules having 20mg (Doxycycline Hyclate equivalent) for oral administration. This is the first FDA approved the systemic drug, which is used for host modulation as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in the treatment of periodontitis.

When patients buy PERIOSTAT online, the drug is available as film-coated tablets in 20 mg (Doxycycline equivalent) strengths. At this low dosage, PERIOSTAT does not treat bacterial infections, but it may help preventing the breakdown of gum tissues.

Mechanism of action:

PERIOSTAT is an oral enzyme inhibitor which works by reducing the activity of host-derived enzymes, like collagenase. Collagenase is reported to be associated with the destruction of the periodontal support structures during the progression of adult periodontitis. PERIOSTAT is administered systemically, which offers the additional advantage of being able to treat all the tooth sites at the same time, a whole-mouth approach to the management of the host response. The drug also promotes attachment level gain and reduces pocket depths in patients suffering from periodontitis.

One should also avoid excessive exposure to the sun as during the treatment with PERIOSTAT, the skin becomes sensitive to the sun. One can wear protective clothing and use sunscreen lotion to avoid sunburns. If one faces severe itching, burning sensation, swelling or rash then a doctor should be consulted immediately.

If the patient has recently taken or will be taking a live oral typhoid vaccine or oral contraceptive then he should avoid the use of PERIOSTAT as the drug may reduce their efficacy.

Theophylline is also reported to show an adverse reaction when administered concurrently with PERIOSTAT.

While diabetic patients are treated with PERIOSTAT, the risk of the side effects of anti-diabetic agents may get increased due to PERIOSTAT.

PERIOSTAT must not be used in children younger than 8 years of age. Similarly, the use should be restricted or avoided under a physician’s guidance in case of pregnancy and breastfeeding.
