Hi,
The normal dose of flagyl i.e. metronidazole is 400 mg thrice in day for 5 days .
Microdox i.e doxycycline ( with lactobaciluus ) some physician like to advise 200 mg / day for 5-7 days , while others like to prescribe 200 mg first day while 100 mg once a day for next 5-7 day with water ( not with milk).
In my opinion flagyl thrice in day ,while doxy ( 100 mg ) will be sufficient .
Good luck.
