Your doctor determines the appropriate doxycycline strength based on your specific condition and weight. Common strengths include 50 mg and 100 mg capsules.
For bacterial infections like acne, chlamydia, or Lyme disease, your doctor will prescribe the correct dosage, often 100mg twice daily for the first day followed by 100mg once daily. This differs based on the infection and your individual response. Always follow your physician’s instructions.
Malaria prevention often uses different dosing regimens. These typically involve taking doxycycline daily, starting several days before exposure and continuing after travel. Dosage varies and relies heavily on factors including travel destination and duration. Again, consult your doctor for malaria prophylaxis.
Doxycycline hyclate, a different form, is available in various strengths. Your physician will prescribe the correct form and dosage according to your condition.
Never adjust your dosage independently. Always discuss any concerns with your doctor or pharmacist. They can provide personalized guidance and address potential side effects. Incorrect dosage can impact treatment success.
