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.

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.
