E-DRUG: wrong doxycycline dose for malaria? (cont)
--------------------------------------------------

I did see the recommendation and found another section by the WHO 
that I am attaching for you that gives the dose for doxycycline as 
100mg capsule. You may be correct in pointing out that the 
dosage is for tetracycline as I checked in the 31st ed. of the 
Martindale under tetracycline that recommends a dose of 500mg twice 
daily for treatment of malaria
