Does anyone know if one can take IV Doxy with a midline? Or do you have to have a
PICC?

Thanks.

Hi, I have been on IV doxy with a picc line. I
think it lasts longer than a mid-line, especially
if you are doing IV long term. Just make sure
with any line, that you flush each day with
saline and heparin. Also, there should be a
nurse to change the dressing once a week.
