Doryx Drug Interactions

A number of medications may interact with Doryx. For example, problems may occur if the antibiotic is taken together with bile acid sequestrants, barbiturates, phenytoin, or certain antacids. These medicines (and many others) may decrease the levels of Doryx in your blood, perhaps making it less effective. In order to help prevent interactions, tell your healthcare provider about all other medications you are taking.
