As a pharmacist, I find doxycycline incredibly versatile. It’s one of my go-to choices for Lyme disease, certain pneumonias, and even acne because it covers a broad range of bacteria and penetrates tissues well. It’s also great for travelers needing malaria prophylaxis. The key things to remember: take it with plenty of water, avoid dairy or antacids close to dosing times, and don’t forget the sunscreen! It’s generally well-tolerated, but we always screen for allergies and pregnancy status carefully. For kids under 8, we have other safe options.
