Regarding dosage of Tablet Doxycyline

In recent flooding, I waded through foot deep water. Shoes got drenched. I even have cracks in heels. Should I take it for three days or just one dosage is enough?

Hi, Tab Doxycycline 200mg single dose is recommended for all those who have low risk exposure. Low risk exposure are those who don't have any open wound or cuts on the skin. If a person has ingested contaminated water and has open wounds should take it for 3 days. Should be taken within 24-72hrs.
