I was taking 100mg doxy twice a day, and on my blood test I had more in my

system than people who were taking 600 mg. It all depends on your metabolism.

all meds are weight dependent even though drs rarely prescribe them

that way. Just as a child needs a smaller dose of meds than an

When the doctor was talking about adjusting doxy dose to weight, he told me

to take 200 mg twice a day (400 mg day). I weighed 200 lbs. then.

Yes, drinking plenty of water is good with all this stuff we take.
