GP gave me a ten day dose of doxycycline when I was bit. Doxy is a good all around penicillin. Like amoxy is for chest/ear infections, or flucloxacillin for skin.
Doxy is what they issue the forces with.

I know that ten days supply wasnt enough for me.

Doxycycline is not in the Penicilline family, but in the Tetracycline family.

Important, as if you are sensitive/allergic to Penicilline, you can take Doxycycline.


I had to check, but 10 days is on the shorter recommendation time. 10-14 days.
