Periostat is used in patients with gum disease (periodontitis) following a specific dental procedure known as scaling and root planing. 

It is intended to help improve tooth attachment and reduce gum pockets, addressing the effects of periodontitis and supporting the healing process after the dental intervention.

Doxycycline, the active ingredient in Periostat, belongs to the class of antibiotics known as tetracyclines. At the low dosage used in Periostat, this medication does not treat bacterial infections, but it may help to prevent the breakdown of gum tissue. This mechanism of action highlights its role in supporting periodontal health rather than treating active bacterial infections.

Do’s

  • Take Periostat on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal, as directed by your doctor (usually 1-2 times daily).
  • Take it with a full glass of water (8 ounces) unless your healthcare provider advises otherwise.
  • If you experience stomach upset, talk to your doctor about taking it with food or milk. Be aware that this might reduce the medication's effectiveness.
  • Take Periostat in a sitting or standing position and stay upright for at least 10 minutes after taking it.
  • Take Periostat at evenly spaced times throughout the day for optimal effect.

Don'ts

  • Don't take Periostat with any products containing aluminum, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, or bismuth subsalicylate within 2-3 hours before or after taking it. This includes antacids, some vitamins/minerals, dairy products, and certain medications. These substances can interfere with the absorption of Periostat.
  • Don't tie down immediately after taking Periostat.
