Hello everyone! This is my first post. Can anyone recommend an antibiotic to use in combination with ketek that has given good results in treating Bb?

Thanks!

Welcome aboard.

There are tons of antibiotics that can be use in combination with Ketek. Typically it is would be from a different class like a Tetracycline, a Cephlosporin, etc. etc.

I took Ketek with Bicillin LA (2 - 1.2 mu shots two times a week.) Did this for 6 months. I felt it really helped me.

I'm still on Bicillin LA. Tired of giving myself shots but it really works for me.

I was on Ketek alone for 3 months, then with Mepron and now with Mepron and Omnicef. The Mepron is for Babs but the Omnicef and Ketek are for Lyme.

I have gotten much better.
