Hello and thanks for your query.
I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
I can visualize 2 important things in your medical concerns:
1. Doxycycline and amoxycillin have drug interactions of moderate seriousness, should be avoided generally as it may cause therapeutic failure.
2. Both Doxycycline and Amoxycillin are known to cause CDAD (Clostridium difficile associated diarrhoea)
Your concern would require a review of your prescribed drugs by your doctor at the earliest.
Let me know if I have missed out any other concern in your question.
Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that you have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.
Sincerely,
Dr Sujeet N Charugulla, MBBS, MD
