2014 Price For Doxycycline Sky Rockets!
Doxycycline is used as a first line defense for treating common tick borne diseases, such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Ehrlichiosis, Anaplasmosis, Bartonella and Q-Fever. Some of these tick borne diseases can be fatal if not treated immediately.
With that in mind, you may want to focus on implementing more tick control and prevention methods, especially after you see what has happened to the price of Doxycycline, and that is IF it is even available when needed. Some pharmacies are already reporting they can not supply Doxycycline due to a shortage.
