can amoxil be used as a prophylaxis against lyme disease
Oral antibiotics (doxycycline, amoxicillin, or cefuroxime) are used for Lyme arthritis and acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans. (In rare cases, patients with arthritis may need intravenous antibiotics.) A 2 - 4 week course of intravenous ceftriaxone is used for treating severe cases of neurological Lyme disease.
