Does 1,000 mg ceftin a day kill borrelia? My current doc had me on doxy 200 mg a day and bactrim ds twice daily, but dropped them .. I figured the more abx the better so i will be asking him. He also put my on fluconazole

Kasey, Ceftin has been a really good antibiotic for me...and one I continue to return to if I have a flare of symptoms after being off antibiotics for awhile.
Also, the dose you mentioned is the one I've been most frequently prescribed. Two things to note: ceftin can be hard on your stomach, so be sure to follow the dose instructions and take on a full stomach.
Also, in the beginning, my ceftin herxes were really nasty. May not affect you the same way, though, but I thought I'd mention it.
Much success to you!

Just upset my doctor dropped the bactrim and doxy.. Which was most likely only stopping bacteria growth. Maybe he doesnt want me to get hit too hard at once, but i thought the doxy and bactrim would be for coinfections
