I know zithormax but what if zith is not an option? IS artemisinin sufficient?

I don't think art is enough. You need a macrolide. I know of one person who can not take a macrolide and was given doxy by her doctor.

Zith and Biaxin, as far as I know.

You need to take one of the above with artemisinin also.
