Prescribed Doxycyline And Lactic Acid Bacillus For Bleeding Gums. How Long Should I Take Them?
hi, I am 24 years old female. My height is 5 3 and weight is 140lbs. I was prescribed with Doxycycline and lactic acid bacillus capsules for bleeding gums . I took it for five days as prescribed by the doctor. Also, my doctor told me whenever I feel like my gums are bleeding again take the pills, but how long should I take them?

Hello
Welcome to HCM
I would like to tell you that bleeding gums are symptom of gingivitis.
To get its complete cure you need to go for oral prophylaxis.
Still if you want to know medication then doxycycline 100 mg twice a day can be taken for 5 days, but avoid taking it with food & its contraindicated in pregnancy & nursing mother.
You can also go for metronidazole-400mg twice a day for 5 days.
Take Care
Regards
