How long between doxy treatments?

[Miranda]

Hi, I have ocular rosacea and I was on doxycycline for four months last year. It helped a lot but now my eyes are gettting much worse again, even worse than before I took antibiotics last year. I was wondering how long you should wait between treatments. I've been off the doxy for 10 months now, is it too soon to take another course of it?

Some people take large amounts for 4 to 6 weeks in cycles while other need to low doses to maintain the result. So it depends but beware of a link to cancer with chronic usage. PLease discuss this with your doctor.
