My LLMD just gave me Doryx, told me to take 1 pill a day, w/ food. Has anyone had success with this? Should I be afraid of this drug? Any help is appreciated.

Currently I am taking 2 catsclaw pills a day, and something called bolouke once a day. Thanks in advance and please help....

Well, it's way easier for the body to handle than plain doxy. Not sure one pill a day is enough.. how many mg?? Be sure to take it with food... as with all antibiotics.

Boluoke is really good stuff!

I took Doryx for over a year (300mg/day). I had started on doxy, and the Doryx was much easier on the stomach!

I took it twice a day with food, and never had any problems.

I've read that you should not lay down for 30-60 minutes after taking it, as it can aggravate the stomache.

Good luck!
