I have been on Doxcycl hyc for a few days now. I read something about vit c and vit A can interfere with the drug. It does say on the prescription not to take with dairy antacids vitamins iron with in 2 hours. So If i take this med like 8am and 8pm am i ok to take vitamins at noon or should i just not take them. I am taking the approach of taking the antibiotics and vitamins supplements that are listed to help with lyme. I want to try and knock out this infection with out it progressing further but I also don't want to take vitamin or supplements that may interfere with the antibiotic

I would just space them out. No big deal. Dairy is the only thing you really need to be careful about.

I do assume you are talking about DOXYCYCLINE??

OR the generic for Doryx??
