Storing Doxycycline and the recommended dosages

Dosages for Doxycycline

The dosages will vary depending on the seriousness of the disease, your actual condition, and your body weight, particularly if young. There may also be variations in the dose if you are older, or you have kidney or liver disease. There is a direct cause and effect. If you ignore the instructions given by your doctor and pharmacist and increase the dosage, the risk of side effects increases sharply.

The general rule is to take a higher dose on the first day and then drop down to a lower dose for the rest of the course of treatment. The length of time you take Doxycycline varies with the disease. For uncomplicated cases, seven to ten days will usually be sufficient. But for more serious and complicated cases, it may be necessary to take the drug for long periods of time, often accompanied by other drugs.

Storage

It is best to store in an airtight container made out of an opaque plastic to keep out the light. Try to find a place of reasonably stable room temperature for storage.
