I recently started taking vitamin B Complex pill form to help with fatigue but I am also wondering
if it is interfering with my antibiotics because this past week I am starting to feel crappy
again. this vitamin B complex has:
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) 125mg
Thiamin Vitamin B-1 (as Thiamin Mononitrate)125mg
Riboflavin (Vitamin B-12) 125mg
Niacin ( as Niacinamide) 125mg
Vitamin B-6 (as Pyridoxine Hydrochloride) 125mg
Folic Acid 400mcg
Vitamin B-12 (as Cyanocobalamin) 125mcg
Biotin 125mcg
Pantothenic Acid (as Calcium D-Pantothenate)125mg
Choline Bitartate 125mcg
Inositol 125mcg
para-Aminobenzoic Acid (PABA) 75mg
This is a time released formula but I only take
half a pill so cut all those doses in half.
The ingredient that makes me kind of alarmed is
the Calcium D-Pantothenate because I heard
Calcium interferes with Doxy.
I am on Doxy, Rifampin, and Flaygl.
Can anyone help?
Also instead of peeing orange that the rifampin
usually makes me do the B vitamin makes me pee
green instead.

I remember asking my doc a similar question. She said to take any supplements with calcium away from antibiotics.
So, I take my antibiotics with breakfast and dinner, and most of my other supplements with lunch.
I have no idea how to sort out the time release issue (how long until it's all released would by my question to the manufacturer).
I accidentally bought a supplement that had time release calcium (in alpha-lipoic acid of all things). I'm just waiting until I'm off doxycycline to take it.

Yes the time release thing is an issue. I take my abx at 11am and 11pm and usually take all my
supplements inbetween at like 3ish. I The part the stinks is the B-Vitamins gave me alot of
energy which made me feel great but after about a week I started noticing though I had more energy
some of my symptoms started increasing. I just went and asked the pharmacist and he said that
anything with calcium in it effects the absorption of doxy. As far as the time release
goes I can still feel it in my system at the end of the day when it's time to take my abx and I
pee green all day as well. So it looks like Ill have to find a B complex without any calcium in
it and without a time release. Stinks because I just bought a big jar of them for like $40 and
only got to take 7 of them.
