What is the Doxycycline treatment regimen for chlamydia?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have a question regarding my Doxycycline treatment for chlamydia. I received a 1.4 g intravenous dose in the hospital before starting my oral Doxycycline treatment. I have been taking 200 mg of Doxycycline daily for the past six days, which makes a total of seven days of treatment when including the intravenous dose.
Given this treatment history, I would like to know if it is safe for me to stop taking Doxycycline after this evening, which would be my last dose. I feel that my symptoms have mostly improved, and I am concerned about any potential side effects from continuing the medication.
Please help.
Thank you for your guidance.
