The primary treatment for Lyme Disease is antibiotics. They are administered either orally or intravenously. Many factors can determine the type of antibiotic used and the dosage.
Some people tolerate certain types of antibiotics better than others.
The medical community appears to be divided on the length of treatment and dosage for Lyme, but in general the disease is treated for longer periods of time with higher dosage levels as it moves to later stages. Like any other bacterial infection, the healthier you are as a whole, the more your body will be prepared to fight the infection. In addition to antibiotics, a healthy lifestyle will aid in fighting off the infection. There are four types of antibiotics used against Lyme. They are tetracyclines, penicillins, cephalosporins, and macrolides.
