Prescribed doxycycline for a sinus infection for 10 days. would 7 days be enough? doxycycline always does a number on my stomach and want to discontinue its day 7 . thanks

Probably OK: Check with the doc who prescribed it, but probably 7 days would be sufficient. You can limit gastrointestinal distress by taking doxycycline with meals, which does not affects the drug's absorption or effectiveness.
