Guide To Understanding Doxycycline

Medication Interactions

Doxycycline interacts with over 180 other medications. Thus, patients need to list every medication, both prescription and over-the-counter, that they take! They also need to include supplements and vitamins on this list. Their doctor must know about all of them to help patients effectively avoid medication interactions with this antibiotic! The pharmacist dispensing it also needs to check this list.

Severe interactions exist with acitretin and lomitapide, among others. This antibiotic is also not safe to take alongside fibroblasts from bovine collagen! Thus, patients cannot take both! Patients need alternative antibiotics when they already take isotretinoin, blood thinners, and seizure medications.
