A member asked:
Does minocycline kill chlamydia just like doxycycline? i know doxy is first like but would minocycline do the job too?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minocycline is equally effective against chlamydia as doxycycline. Usually in the same dose (100 mg twice daily for 7 days), although one study indicates minocycline is effective when taken only once daily.
