(Sorry, I submitted this answer while wasn't signed in-I'm cmasjy) Trust me, I learned the hard way this morning! I was prescribed Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg to treat acne. I use Phentermine 37.5 tabs off and on to suppress cravings. On my Doxycycline directions, it states that it works best when taken on an empty stomach for effectiveness. The Phentermine usually gives an option to take 1 hour before or after breakfast, which I usually take before. Well, I decided to take them both @ the same time today (approxiamately 5 minutes apart) and began to feel nauseous after 1 minute. This in turn lead to an abrupt "bathroom break", which was short-lived, because that nausea quickly turned into vomiting, so I had to get up and run to the sink lol. After my untimely episodes, I ran to read the drug interactions on the Doxycycline print out and it states: " Take this medication 2-3 hours before or after taking any medications containing magnesium, aluminum, calcium, iron, or zinc..." I read the Phentermine ingredients online and it does contain Magnesium Stearate and aluminum in one of the ingredients used to make the color. Note: I have taken these prescriptions on the same day before, but hours apart, so that's why I didn't see any harm in taking them together and I was WRONG! This is coming from a Certified Medical Assistant, so even those in the medical field make slow moves lol. You should be fine if you allow 2-3 hours to lapse between the two. Remember to always read the drug interactions & ingredients on all medications. Usually your healthcare provider will let you know if there's a possibility of drug interaction with multiple rx's. I hope this helped you.

Yes, Synthroid (levothyroxine) and doxycycline can generally be taken together, but it is important to space them out.

Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice and to ensure optimal effectiveness of both medications.

How many times do you take doxycycline and what time should you take them?

Doxycycline is typically taken once or twice a day, depending on the specific condition being treated. It's best to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in your bloodstream. You should take it with a full glass of water and can take it with or without food, though avoiding dairy products and antacids close to the time of taking the medication is recommended to ensure proper absorption. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions for the most accurate guidance.
