Medikamenten-Leitfaden bei Borreliose, Babesiose und Bartonellose

Medikamenten-Leitfaden bei Borreliose, Babesiose und Bartonellose

Dieser Leitfaden zeigt, welche Medikamente in der Fachliteratur und in veröffentlichten Protokollen bei Borreliose, Babesien und Bartonellen genannt werden. Wählen Sie unten Ihre Infektionen aus. Das ist eine Übersicht zur Information, keine Behandlungsempfehlung. Über Medikamente entscheiden Sie gemeinsam mit Ihrer Ärztin oder Ihrem Arzt.

Was Sie vorab wissen sollten

  1. Medikamente gegen Borreliose und Koinfektionen verordnet Ihre Ärztin oder Ihr Arzt. Art, Dosis und Dauer hängen von Ihrer Situation ab.
  2. Prüfen Sie Wechselwirkungen, auch mit Kräutern und Nahrungsergänzung, bevor Sie etwas Neues beginnen.
  3. Namen, Zulassung und Verfügbarkeit können in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz von den hier genannten abweichen. Fragen Sie in der Apotheke nach.
  4. Beginnen oder beenden Sie verordnete Medikamente nicht auf eigene Faust.
Medicines guide Choose the infections. Answer a short safety check. See the medicines usually discussed, with the ones that clash with your answers marked.
For education only. Not medical advice, a recommendation or a prescription. This page shows medicines that are commonly used and reported in talks and protocols by Dr Moorcroft, Dr Lindner, Dr Burrascano and Dr Ross. These doctors have not reviewed, endorsed or approved this page, and Lyme Tools is not affiliated with them. Many uses are off-label, and licensing and availability differ by country. No flag does not mean a medicine is safe for you. Always speak to a qualified doctor before you start, stop or change any medicine. Your answers stay on this device. Nothing is sent to us.

1Which infections?

2Safety check

Tick anything that applies. Medicines that clash get marked, with the reason.

G6PD (a blood enzyme test)

Tafenoquine, primaquine, dapsone and methylene blue can destroy red blood cells in G6PD deficiency. It is a simple blood test.

3Your medicines

Heard of disulfiram? It is in the list below.

How clinicians usually combine them

  • Start one drug alone for about 4 weeks, then reassess (Moorcroft, Lyme).
  • Babesia: two or more drugs from the start, because resistance is reported (Moorcroft, Burrascano).
  • Babesia first: some clinicians clear it before Bartonella and Lyme because it can shelter them (Lindner).
  • Examples: atovaquone + azithromycin + Artemisia + Cryptolepis; tafenoquine + Cryptolepis + Japanese knotweed (Burrascano).
  • Bartonella: two intracellular antibiotics, for 3 to 4 months or more (Moorcroft).
  • Symptoms can flare after starting (a herx). Doses are usually raised slowly.

Taking herbs or supplements too? Check them in the Herb Database
