Abstract
The present disclosure relates to dosage forms, e.g., swell, float and bioadhesive, and methods that enhance the absorption of doxycycline in the gastrointestinal tract. The oral dosage forms control the spatial and temporal delivery of doxycycline in the gastrointestinal tract. This controlled spatial and temporal delivery provides a site and rate of release, respectively, of the doxycycline into the gastrointestinal tract that enhances the amount of the doxycycline absorbed into the bloodstream.
