A member asked:

I have been prescribed 100 mg dosage of doxycycline twice a day, for chlamydia for 10 days. however, i have only been taking it once a day for 10 days?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NotEffectiveOnce/Day: There is a reason for your doctor prescribing the Antibiotic to be taken twice a day.The reason is the blood level of antibioticgoes down at 12 hours and that is why you have to take twice a day.Some antibiotics ae to be taken once a day.You can ask your doctor to give you a single dose of Azithromycine as that will work and no pills after that.Make sure your sexual partner is also treated
