I need some Doxy advice.
Submitted by Todybear on Mon, 2008-05-19 10:05. I have been taking Doxyi since May 1st, 100 mg. I have added Azith on May 12th. I was fine with the Doxy for a couple weeks, then it started to cause some terrible nausea even vomitting for the hour after taking it. I was taking it on an empty stomach initially with no problems. I have started to take it with food but I am concerned that it will make the drug less effective. The pharmacist told me to take it on an empty stomach. My husband was suggesting that if it is die off maybe over time I will not have the vomitting reaction to it. I was wondering if I should continue to take it on empty stomach or should I take it with food and if I do take it with food, does that reduce it's efficacy?

Hi Todybear! Here in Sweden
Hi Todybear!
Here in Sweden they say take Doxyi with food.( to prevent stomach problem). Im reading from paper that comes with the medicin.
So it must be effective with food.
Good luck with treatment, hope you feel better soon!
Best Wishes,

Tody, don't worry: I
Tody, don't worry: I always took it with food, I couldn't take it any other way. The instructions might say to take it on an empty stomach, although mine didn't, I've still got a leaflet here. But you will be taking it every day for a long time, not as a quick ten day course..........Sarah

If you take it on an empty stomach...your stomach will remain empty. I very rarely get sick when taking meds, so I completely ignored the advice. Well...I fed the birds in the back yard, if you get my meaning.

Take it with food, and stay
Take it with food, and stay upright for at least 30mins (in other words don't take it just before bed). I often think that people/informaion leaflets say: 'take this on an empty stomach' as it a safety catchall, less likely to have interaction problems with other substances and more likely to be absorbed into the system more quickly. But better absorbed than 'feeding the birds'.

I also take it with food. I
I also take it with food. I have the food first, then the Doxyi. Doesn't have to be much, piece of fruit, biscuit and a drink. I take all my morning supps first as well so I have downed quite a bit of water before the abxi hit my stomach.
I made the mistake last week of taking the Doxy first then eating. Bleurch!
My leaflet also says take with food and remain upright for 30 minutes afterwards.

My printout from the
My printout from the pharmacy said that the drug should be taken two to three hours apart from suppliments like vitaminsi, minerals, calcium, magnesium, antacids etc because they react with doxycycline preventing its full absorption. I take my suppliments in the morning then my Doxy in the afternoon to that end.

I would take on an empty stomach with a proton pump inhibitor
