Patients with a vascular condition called abdominal aortic aneurysm
did not benefit from taking the common antibiotic doxycycline for two
years to shrink the aneurysm when compared to those who took a placebo,
according to a Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) study
published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a swelling or ballooning that occurs in the major blood vessel (aorta) that supplies blood from the heart to the lower half of the body. It affects about 3 percent of older Americans, most commonly men and smokers.
