Actually, for Lymes disease and it's various complications, the usual dosage for prevention, or treatment is 100mgs every 12 hours, so twice a day, for 14 to 28 days.

Have you consulted a doctor? They would be able to give you the proper dosing duration time period.

This medication may cause side effects, which can include: nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.
