   Oral or IV? (Lyme Disease board)

6th January 2008
[QUOTE=deccajay;3376437]I am curious to know who has tryed what, and what your preferances are? does one work better than the other?
thanks

I think that most knowledgeable LLMDs would prefer to limit IVs to serious cases. I was able to be "cured" with only orals; Cefzil and Tindamax for 8 months.

But my doc does do some IV infusions in their center, so there must be a need for some folk to get IVs.

Another factor is cost; IVs are VERY expensive. Oral meds cost me about $250 a month versus $4000+ for IV meds (which my insurance would have only paid for one month of).
