Can Amoxicillin Be Taken Along With Doxycycline?
Question: I am taking 100 MG of Doxycycline 2x a day for a cellulitis infection and the recovery seems to have plateaued. I am not due to see my doctor for another week. Can I als0s take some amoxicillin I already have as a booster?
Brief Answer:
Both drugs can be taken together
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Doxycycline and amoxicillin can be taken together because no drug interaction is reported between the two drugs.
Amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid combination is far better than amoxicillin only.
Hope I have answered your query.
