Children require a different dosage based on their weight. Consult a physician or refer to a reliable medical resource for precise pediatric dosing instructions. Always follow the prescribed dosage and duration.
Important Note: Doxycycline is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or children under eight years old. Alternatives exist; discuss suitable prophylaxis options with your healthcare provider.
