I don't know, but I hope you're taking it in the middle of a big meal.
Less likely to puke then. (let's hope)

Agree with Lymetoo. I am on Doxy and take it in the middle of a big meal, and it prevents the nausea.

If you are taking the capsules, try the doxy tablets. I find they are much easier to tolerate than the capsules.

Yes it does! is all I can say. Yikes. Had a bad exp. this weekend with it and am realizing "take WITH food" literally means WITH a meal!! I had eaten within the hour of taking it even and ended up with severe abdominal pain within an hour-1/2!
I was in so much pain last night after throwing up once, I asked my husband to call an ambulance. I seriously had no idea what hit me.
It went away before I was seen at the ER, quick as it came. I can think of nothing else than the Doxy that would have done that! I had gotten sick on it before, but nothing like this.
Now, I must be super careful to eat with a meal. So many times I'm in a rush and take it running out the door. And even if you're "not hungry" doesn't mean your stomach is full enough to tolerate the meds, I guess.
