A member asked:
I been diagnosed with ureaplasma parvum and the doctor prescribe me doxycycline 100mg 2 times a day per 7 days is that enough to kill the bacteria?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be: Yes. This is the classic medication and medication dose and treatment length for this particular bacteria so you should be fine. If you are still having symptoms when you finish your antibiotics, it is possible you may need further treatment and you should let your doctor know as soon as possible, but this is not common.
