Taking doxycycline with milk
Common Questions and Answers about Taking doxycycline with milk

You can take the medication with or without food. I was going to suggest hat you take it with milk but you cannot take it with milk or other dairy products, unless your doctor has told you to. Dairy products can make it harder for your body to absorb the medicine. According to the literature a select few brands of doxycycline may not have restrictions about taking them with dairy products. Any way I would be sure and take the meds with your meals as this should help ease the tummy upset.
I was just diagnosed with lyme disease and will be taking Doxycycline for 30 days. Can anyone tell me if I must avoid dairy entirely or just avoid it a couple of hours before and after taking this antibiotics?
Thanks.
Please read the leaflet carefully that came with the Doxy, and it you have any queries (which you do have) with the regard to taking either medicine and taking them at the same time, then I would advise that you speak with the doctor that prescribed the medication or your pharmacist. Don't forget to tell them of any other medications that you are taking be it on prescription or over the counter, including any minerals and vitamin supplements.
Best wishes.
given me for dog bite with allergy to several other meds. have consumed small amounts of dairy. there is 5 more days of the med to be taken. it seems to be working despite consuming the small amounts of milk/cheese. will avoid it for 2 hours from the dose. is there anything else i need to do. thank you!
Can someone tell me what STDs can be treated with Doxycycline? Can you list all of them please? Thank you.
what are the signs that i am already cured of gonorrhea? after 17 days of taking doxycycline 100 mg and drinking gatorade 3x a day lus drinking more than 8 glasses actually im drinking 7-9 bottles of 500 ml of water a day the and drinking a glass of milk 2x a day symptoms and the signs have gone.
I started taking Doxycycline on the 11th and am on my 7/20 tablets. Do you think i can still take a STI test just to confirm my condition and for a peace of mind?
I'm currently taking Doxycycline for anti-malaria reasons. I was wondering if it's unsafe to take for 5 consecutive months?
I was diagnosed with gonorrhea and received a shot (don't know which kind) on December 13th, started Doxycycline the next day, once a day for 7 days ending on the 20th. So that's 7 days after after receiving the shot. I had unprotected sex 4 days after finishing the pills, which is also 7 days after the shot. Is my partner at risk for gonorrhea? And do I need to be retested?
I immediately got it treated with a shot and four pills. For about a week the symptoms were completely gone and I felt good back to normal. But after a week leakage started again. However the leakage is clear and usually to get it to come out I have to milk it from my penis. I got tested again and came back negative for all STDS. Other than that I have no symptoms out of the ordinary or anything else. No rash, no puss, no smell, and no burning.
Hi, i was taking doxycycline 100 mg orally twice, i was mild diarrhea which was slightly bloody in color and mild fever.
I stopped the medicine after 6 days. But now i have back pain, as if though some nerve is bejng yanked. The pain extends to the legs when i sleep or sit for long.
I am unable to sleep, the pains gets severe. I can walk normally and pain releives a little when i stand.
Please tell me what this could be and what doctor should i visit.
then i got sick with allergies and cold symptoms so my sister took me to carenow where i got doxycycline hyclate 100mg 2x a day for 10 days to clear up my sinus infection. right after i stopped taking the doxycycline i went to the dentist for a bad cavitity on my back tooth and got amoxicillin 500mg 3x a day for 10 days. it is possible that those meds not only cleared up what they were prescribed for but the std as well?
What most Lyme doctors start with is doxycycline and then flagyl, a cyst buster. I was on those for many months until my igeneX labs came back positive for Bart's and Babs then I switched antibiotics.
Hang in there, we don't want you to get worse or take the wrong meds.
The doxycycline (I have been taking for 3 days) that doctor gave me did not relieve my symptom in my mouth, does doxycycline only work for gonorrhea, chlamydia infection? No help for pharyngitis or URTI?
Oral sex is only what i have done before I get the mouth problem. So, I really guess i am infected from the oral sex just not sure what virus caused that. Could gonorrhea, chlamydia and HSV2 cause pharyngitis? If yes, can doxycycline work for that?
is it possible that the rash is the result of taking the Ofloxacin, and more specifically, perhaps the result of a build up of bacteria (yeast)? If so, will taking the Doxycycline clear up the rash, or will it just increase the amount of yeast bacteria build up, and thus worsen a rash that could be the result of excess candida in the body?
Here is a great article about food interactions with drugs sometimes used to treat Lyme and coinfections. I have been on a few of the meds listed in the artIcle, and I was unaware of these conflicts, especially dairy / calcium with the tetracyclines (Doxycycline, Minocycline) & fluroquinolones (Cipro, Avelox, Levaquin).
It also mentions that caffeine, and therefore chocolate, can interfere with some antibiotics, but then doesn't say which ones.

Apama for your timely and helpful suggestions. I did stop taking Doxycycline and will call my GP this afternoon for an alternative. In the mean time, I have continued with Benedryl at 25 mg every 4 hours and will now stretch this out to 6-8 hours through tomorrow; the rash has almost completely cleared up.
or will it go away with time since im off the doxycycline.
is it safe to take Doxycycline and Truvada/Tivicay at the same time. Do they interferrer with each other or not?
