Can you take these together or do they need to be apart? My LLMD said to take both of these with meals, but I didn't clarify if at the same meal. I know vitamins are supposed to be 2 hours before or after doxy, and I'm having a hard time scheduling all of these supplements. Thanks!

Hi, I know when I took Doxy (only took it for one month, then switched to IV-Silver) I did not wait but one hour, then took my supplements.

Chlorella is a food source...so I'm thinkin' that it's okay to take with Doxy...

This is from the CDC Website regarding DOXY ~

Take doxycycline with food and least one full glass of water. Avoid taking antacids (like Tums or Maalox), cholestyramine (Questran), colestipol (Colestid), dairy products (like milk or yogurt) or vitamins 3 hours before or after taking doxycycline.

If you miss a dose, start again taking 1 pill every 12 hours. Do not take 2 pills to make up for the missed dose. Finish all your pills, even if you feel okay, unless your doctor tells you to stop. If you stop this medication too soon, you may become ill.

Side effects
Common side effects of doxycycline include an upset stomach, vomiting, or diarrhea. If you have problems with any of these symptoms, tell your doctor. Less common side effects include dark urine, yellowing of the eyes or skin, sore throat, fever, unusual bleeding or bruising, fatigue, white patches in the mouth. If any of these symptoms occur, call your doctor right away.

Allergic reactions are rare. Signs of an allergic reaction are rash, itching, swelling of the tongue, hands or feet, fever, and trouble breathing. If any of these symptoms occur, call you doctor right away.

Maybe this website can provide you with any contraindications.

I had only minor success w/Doxy, but was Glad of it.

Wishing you the best.
