I had to share this. I don't know if this has been posted here before. Roxid  (Roxithromycin)  The only macrolide antibiotic that crosses the blood brain barrier. Used to treat Lymes Disease. Roxithromycin is a semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic. It is used to treat respiratory tract, urinary and soft tissue infections. It is also currently undergoing clinical trials for the treatment of male-pattern hair loss.[1]  Roxithromycin is not available in the United States. Roxithromycin has also been tested to possess antimalarial activity.   saxmar

I have been on roxi for a while now. My LLMD prescribed it and I got it offline with the script. I continue to improve and have been feeling so much better.

Springsjean, can you let us know how ordering of Roxithromycin is done? What kind of website do you use?

I did have a prescription from my LLMD so I just googled it and found different out of country pharmacies who required that I fax them the rx. It did however take a while to receive the pills in the mail. I actually take 1 300mg pill 1Xday. I use in combination with bactrim and doryx. Am cutting down now to try and get off antibiotcs.

Springsjean -

I'm on roxid but just started 10 days ago. I just added bactrim today.

Being that you've been on rox awhile, I'm wondering how long it took for you to notice an improvement. Just kinda thinking how long I should try it.

Glad you're doing better!
