Why Buy Doxycycline?

Doxycycline is an inexpensive drug compared with the brand name Doryx. It can treat a wide variety of infections caused both by bacteria and other microbes. It is generally safe for people 65 years and older and for those with kidney problems. The notable difference between the generic version and the brand name is the packaging and pricing. Both versions offer the same mechanism of action and the same effects.

How to Take Doxycycline?

Use Doxycycline exactly as told by your physician. The typical dose for an adult is 200 mg a day divided into two doses. For most infections, take this medication for 7 to 14 days. If you are using this drug to prevent Malaria, take 100 mg 1 to 2 days before traveling. Continue taking it for 4 weeks after leaving the area.
