i have been taking the doxy tabs but have gotten to where i am throwing. I know i need to see my doc but i need something until i see the doc. I stopped doxy and am feeling bad.
i remembered I have the blue caps of doxy too. Would the caps be easier on the stomach?

No matter what color, I was not able to take Doxy on an empty stomach. Way back when, when I did take it, I needed to take it with a full meal. Maybe that will help you.
Feel better.

Can you call your Dr for another script until you see him/her?

I have contacted my doc but still waiting to hear back. The pharmacist said the caps were easier on stomach but to me it seems the caps would dissolve faster.
Well I guess I will pick one and if I vomit yet again I will have no choice but wait for the doc to get back to me.

thanks to the Doxy shortage, my pharmacy, with my drs permission, switched me to the blue capsules. I was on the tablets.
I thought Doxy was causing my severe nausea. Once I switched over to the blue capsules no more nausea. I was afraid to try them, thinking they would dissolve quicker in my stomach. But they actually do not make me nauseated. I can even take these without food without problems.
Been on doxy for the 4th month now along with other antibiotics. Feel much better after switching to the blue capsules.

Dorxy is the easiest. I find the yellow tabs easier then the blue capsule.

Tablets, hands down, but still have take in the middle of a meal or heavy snack. The blue ones made me thrown up no matter what.
