Doxy PEP Info

What is Doxy PEP?

Doxycycline (or "doxy" for short) is a common antibiotic.

Recent research shows that taking doxycycline within 3 days (or 72 hours) after sex can help some people reduce the chances of getting syphilis, chlamydia, and, in some studies, gonorrhea. This prevention strategy is called doxy PEP

How to take Doxy PEP?


Take 200 mg of doxycycline as soon as possible, within 72 hours, after anal, oral, or vaginal/front-hole sex.

Don't take more than one dose of doxy in a 24-hour period, regardless of how many times you have sex in a day. 

You can take doxy PEP as often as every day if you need.
