Many choices: Many other antbiotics can treat Lyme including amoxicillin, IM penicillin, oral & IV cephalosporins & Telithromycin. All these can be very helpful in Lyme of recent onset but become less & less effective the longer one has had it. I find herbs & nutritional supplements more effective in chronic Lyme. See http://www.ilads.org/lyme_disease/treatment_guidelines.html for details re: antibiotic options.
