I know Doxy is only concidered Bactericidal at daily doses of at least 300mg.

Does anyone know what dose of Minocycline would be bactericidal?

[confused]

100mg Minocycline is considered the same as 200mg Doxycycline.

Thank you SO much!!!! [group hug]

I feel much better knowing that. [Big Grin]

Now I have to figure out why else I might feel as awful as I do.

Perhaps it could be due to a co-infection that Mino wouldn't address, yeast overgrowth/die-off from new probiotic or maybe even side effects from the antibiotics I've been on.

At least I can rest assured that I would have a sufficient dose to prevent new borrelia from getting a foothold. [Smile]
