Can I take doxycycline and prevacid?!


Question: Can I take doxycycline and prevacid!?
I know anti-acids decrease the body's ability to absorb doxycycline, but i know prevacid decreases the bodys acid production, not neutralizes the acid!. does this matter!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I looked up an interaction check and nothing comes up!. The only interactions with doxycycline I can think of off the top of my head are with birth control!. (sorry if you are a guy, I forgot to check) I know what you mean about decreasing acid production it makes sense, but Prevacid is not an antacid though it is a proton pump inhibitor!. You should stay away from tums, maalox, mylanta, 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking doxycycline!.

Doxycycline might cause stomach upset like with any antibiotic and I know with me stomach upset can trigger acid reflux!. I don't know how often your take your prevacid but maybe while you are taking the doxycycline you want have to take your prevacid twice a day to deal with any extra acid you might have!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

the best way to get a reliable answer would probably be to call your primary care doctor, or use a more reliable website like webmd!.com good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
