Preferred Label : Doxycycline Hyclate Foam;
NCIt synonyms : FDX104 Antibiotic Foam;
NCIt definition : A foam-based formulation composed of the hyclate salt form of doxycycline, a synthetic,
broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic, with antimicrobial activity. Upon topical
application of the foam, doxycycline reversibly binds to the bacterial 30S ribosomal
subunit, and blocks the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex. This
leads to an inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis. This may prevent both the bacterial
infections and the subsequent infections and pain associated with epidermal growth
factor receptor inhibitor (EGFRI)-induced acne-like rash.;
