Yes, you can. Unless the medication says to take away from vitamins like iron or calcium ect.. I believe Doxy has this warning.
Milk thistle may be different as it can reduce the effectiveness of some meds. Im still not sure when to take that. Currently I take it 3 hours after my morning meds and vitamins.

I wouldn't take them together (space them out throughout the day). The pharmacist told me that some vitamins and minerals actually bind with the meds (either makes them useless, and/or lowers the effectiveness of the meds--so, basically, you're throwing your money away).
