What do you guys use for renally or hepatically compromised pts? Is doxycycline ever used? Sorry for the ignorance, just trying to clear something up.

What do you guys use for renally or hepatically compromised pts? Is doxycycline ever used? Sorry for the ignorance, just trying to clear something up.

My depth chart:
1) amoxicillin 2g 1h prior
2) clindamycin 600mg 1h prior (if I prescribe this it's usually because they're penicillin-allergic)
3) azithromycin 500mg 1h prior (I've only had to use this a couple times, both on penicillin-allergic patients with a history of colon problems)

The AHA guidelines are pretty specific, and doxycycline isn't anywhere in there.
