What is PMS-DOXYCYCLINE used for?
pms-DOXYCYCLINE is indicated for use as an adjunct to scaling and root planing to promote attachment level gain and to reduce pocket depth in patients with adult periodontitis.
Authorized indication as written in the Health Canada product monograph. For healthcare professionals and licensed purchasers; this is not medical advice.
How much does Doxycycline cost around the world?
Doxycycline is listed on 12 of the national price registers Nexara ingests. Each country publishes on a different basis, so those figures are not comparable with one another — or with a Canadian wholesale price.
What a market publishes matters more than the number it publishes. Australia publishes a ex-manufacturer; Austria publishes a KVP (Kassenverkaufspreis); Bahrain publishes a retail (max). Comparing an ex-factory ceiling against a pharmacy public price tells you nothing about either, and comparing either against a Canadian landed cost tells you less.
| Market | Price basis published there | Brands | Packs listed | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Australia | ex-manufacturer | 9 | 64 | AUD███.██ |
| Saudi Arabia | public | 13 | 16 | SAR███.██ |
| Morocco | PPV (public price) | 8 | 14 | MAD███.██ |
| Austria | KVP (Kassenverkaufspreis) | 8 | 13 | EUR███.██ |
| South Africa | single exit price | 9 | 13 | ZAR███.██ |

| Iceland | max wholesale | 1 | 1 | ISK███.██ |
150 pack listings across 69 brand entries and 12 price bases, refreshed 10 Sep 2026. Ranges span every Doxycycline pack in that market, so a high figure is usually a larger pack rather than the same product.
Canada publishes no comparable public list price. For a delivered Canadian price on a licensed account, verify your licence — it takes about a minute.
Is there a generic Doxycycline in Canada, and who makes it?
Every market authorization holder with a Canadian DIN for this molecule, and how many of their listings Health Canada currently shows as marketed.
3 holders have a Canadian DIN containing Doxycycline, across 4 DINs, of which 2 are currently marketed. Marketed count is the number that matters: an approval that is not marketed cannot be bought.
| Market authorization holder | DINs | Marketed | Brand names | Position |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PHARMASCIENCE INC | 2 | 1 | PMS-DOXYCYCLINE | Sourceable in Canada |
| JAMP PHARMA CORPORATION | 1 | 1 | JAMP DOXYCYCLINE | Sourceable in Canada |
| DEN-MAT HOLDINGS, LLC | 1 | 0 | ATRIDOX | No marketed DIN |
Health Canada’s Drug Product Database does not flag which listing is the originator and which are subsequent-entry products, so Nexara does not label them here. Interchangeability is determined provincially, not federally — confirm for your province before a formulary switch. Nexara can confirm which of these is actually obtainable, and on what lead time, per order.
How is it supplied and stored?
Pack configuration, storage class and the handling constraints that drive cold-chain planning. One DIN can cover more than one pack size, and the pack — not the DIN — is what gets priced, shipped and invoiced.
| Strength on the label | 20 MG |
|---|---|
| Dosage form | CAPSULE |
| Route | ORAL |
| Pack configuration (monograph) | Bottle of 60 capsules |
| Storage | All products are to be stored at controlled room temperatures of 15 °C - 30 °C and dispensed in tight, light-resistant containers (U.S.P.), protected from excessive humidity. |
Before an order line is unambiguous Nexara needs the strength, the pack size and the presentation.

How is it administered?
20 mg twice daily as an adjunct following scaling and root planing for up to 9 months. Administer at least one hour prior to morning and evening meals with adequate fluid.
Included because it drives pack selection and wastage. Consult the monograph.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to tetracyclines; myasthenia gravis. Should not be used during tooth development (second half of pregnancy, infancy, and childhood).
Warnings and precautions
May cause permanent tooth discoloration and enamel hypoplasia if used during tooth development. Photosensitivity/sunburn reaction may occur. Potential for overgrowth of opportunistic microorganisms.
What can be used instead?
Alternatives on every axis a buyer actually considers — the same molecule in another presentation, the same class, an adjacent class, or a fixed-dose combination. Every row is led by the marketed DIN count, because that is what can be bought this week.

What else is PMS-DOXYCYCLINE called?

What is Doxycycline called in other languages?
Buyers, prescribers and procurement teams outside Canada often search for the ingredient in their own script. These are phonetic renderings of the ingredient name Doxycycline, published to help those searches reach this page.

| Portuguese Português | doxiciclina |
| Japanese 日本語 | ドキシサイクリン |

These are transliterations of the ingredient name, generated automatically and published only where two independent checks agreed. They are not registered local trade names and carry no marketing authorisation in any market. Always confirm a product against its local registration before ordering.
How can I get it?
Nexara Health supplies this product to licensed Canadian buyers — pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, licensed distributors, and clinical trial sponsors or their CROs. We confirm stock, pack size, expiry and pricing at the time of quotation. If the product is on backorder or in shortage, we identify equivalent alternatives and import options where permitted.
Ordering questions
Who can buy this from Nexara?
Licensed entities only. Nexara holds Health Canada establishment licence DEL 3-002896-A and ships only to a licensed address. Patients and unlicensed buyers are routed to a partner pharmacy.
Is there a minimum order?
Yes, set per product line and per pack multiple rather than on the order total, so you are never asked to buy a part-pack. The minimum for this line is confirmed with your quote.
What is the lead time?
Confirmed per order at quotation, and it depends on current stock position and whether the product is in shortage.
Why is there no price on this page?
Nexara quotes a delivered Canadian price per order, against a verified licence. Foreign list prices are published on incompatible bases and are not a guide to what any buyer can obtain here, so this page shows which markets list the molecule and on what basis, and nothing more.
Can Nexara supply this for a clinical trial?
Yes — comparator and background-therapy supply, including sourcing from other markets where a Canadian pack will not satisfy the protocol. Clinical trial supply.
