Medications for Lyme Borreliosis

Doxycycline, Amoxicillin, Erythromycin and Ceftrixone are all considered acceptable antibiotic treatments for those bitten by a tick.  In late stage Lyme disease Ceftriaxone or Minocycline are used for at least 4 weeks.  Individuals suffering from the chronic effects of Lyme Borreliosis are treated with anti-inflammatories like Hydroxychloroquine and Methotrexate for arthritis like symptoms.  Patients suffering from neurological pain are treated with Gabapentin and intravenous Ceftriaxone.
