You're not supposed to take doxy (in the tetracycline famiy) with cheese/dairy/magnesium.....it can block the absorption of the med. You must take it with food, but keep 2 hours on either side for dairy/magnesium. Very important.

Take doxycycline with a full glass of water (8 ounces). You may take this medication with or without food. Do not take the medication 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.
Certain brands of doxycycline may not have restrictions about taking them with dairy products. If your doctor has instructed you to take doxycycline with milk, tell your pharmacist that you need a brand of doxycycline that can be taken with milk.
