Doxycycline is not a first-line treatment for gonorrhea, but it’s sometimes used in conjunction with other antibiotics or for patients with specific allergies. The typical dosage for adults is 100 mg orally twice daily for 7 days.
Important Considerations
This dosage is a general guideline. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage and duration based on your individual health status and the severity of your infection. They’ll also consider factors like potential drug interactions and your overall health. Always follow your physician’s instructions precisely. Never self-treat gonorrhea; early and accurate diagnosis with appropriate treatment is crucial for preventing complications and transmission.
Children’s dosages vary significantly based on weight and age. Consult a pediatrician for dosage guidance for children.
