From Tick Bite to Treatment: Managing Lyme Disease Risk
A patient shows you a tick that's still attached. Do they need antibiotics to prevent Lyme disease, or is watchful waiting enough?
In this episode, TRC Healthcare Assistant Editor and Clinical Pharmacist Gina Corley, PharmD, discusses tick bites and Lyme disease prevention and treatment. She goes over how to assess a tick bite, when a single dose of doxycycline is recommended to prevent Lyme disease, and how treatment differs across the three stages of the disease.
This is an excerpt from our July 2026 Pharmacy Essential Updates continuing education webinar series.
