Re: Generic doxycycline that works

Hi Phil, Welcome to the site. I get my doxy at CVS also. I don't know what

state you are in, but Publix here in Fl. is giving it away free. You must have

a prescription from a doc and they only give you 2 weeks worth at a time. But

you can get as many refills as you want. How long have you been sick and what

is your diagnosis. Is Doxy the only antibiotic you take? Glad the generic is

working. I will have to look at my bottle to see who the manufacturer is. Hope

to hear from you soon. Dolores & Mike

Hi,

I am new here and would like to know what brands of generic doxycycline that

people have found to be effective. I am currently taking generic doxycycline

hyclate manufactured by West-Ward Pharmaceutical Corp. I get them at

CVS/pharmacy. They seem to work, but I don't know how they compare with

brand-name versions like Doryx or Vibramycin since I haven't taken those.

I think I definitely experienced a Herxheimer reaction when I first started

taking this generic doxycycline. I had a mild, but almost constant headache and

really felt like crap, and started having second thoughts about whether taking

this stuff was such a good idea. Fortunately, I gradually began to feel better

and better.

Anyway, I hope this info is helpful for someone. If you are currently taking

generic doxycycline and it seems to be working for you, please let us know who

makes it and where you buy it. That way, others can (hopefully) benefit from the

information.

Phil
