Hey Yo this is not a good question to ask us and you should have gotten the dosage and all from your doctor....none of us here on this board are doctors and we can just relate what we've been through...

I seriously doubt that anyone but your doctor will answer this question for you...as it should be.............the zman

Tony is right-

I think lengh of illness and previous treatment makes a difference when deciding doses. THere are four in my house on tetra at two differnt doses. Three of us weight about the same. So there has to be more to it.

Normally, it's true that the doctor decides dosage and everything based on the patient and severity of illness. However, Dr. D is not like that. He uses the same treatment for every patient (I have some problems with this but I won't go into it). Dr. D uses Tetracycline 500mg three times a day. Or at least that's the dosage he was using last I knew.

Good point Annie, and don't forget about the coinfections, if you got em.

now we all know that dr. D does not test, nor treat coinfections..he does not believe in them. Even at a recent convention he even stated this....

do a search on here under his name to see what comes up. I agree with arg and the others...he gives the sames meds to every patient, regardless of symtoms or illlness...that's just plain wrong...

i'm going to stop now...

best
