Has your doctor instructed you to take it for that long?

Doxycycline is an antibiotic that is used to treat or prevent various types of infections and generally, antibiotics are not used for such a prolonged period of time.

Improper use can lead to your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria, which could put you at severe health risk in the future, should you contract another infection.

Side effects to it may include: nausea, dizziness, diarrhea and non-allergic skin rash.

I had a shoulder replacement and developed a staff infection. I had a picc line for six weeks, and now the infectious disease specialist wants me on thhis medicine for up to a year. The dr. hinted that it might be longer than that. Isn't that a bit extreme.
