I had stomach problems while taking Doxy, but not any more or obviously lessened.

What I did is to release the powder from the caps and dissolve the ABX in a large glass of water and take it.

This way the concentration of the medicine will be greatly diluted.

I thought that the conventional way of taking ABX, when the ABX released in the stomach, the ABX concentration was so high that it would hurt our stomach.

Anyway I did read somewhere suggesting giving liquid Doxy to relieve stomach problems.

Could this be true for other medicines so we could reduce the damage caused by these medicines?

Just my thought and experience and not confirmed yet.

i used to take liquid for years because i was unable to swallow pills. I can now swallow the pills.

I think the liquid is easier on our stomachs...

Only thing about the caps is if they are time release not sure if you want all tht doxy in your system at once having lyme that may trigger a bigger herx.
