   Prilosec and Doxycycline (Acid Reflux board)

5th March 2008
That's interesting because I take Prilosec and was prescribed tetracycline for Lyme Disease treatment. My Lyme doctor told me to absolutely not take the Prilosec within 2 hours of the tetracycline--which is somewhat difficult to time considering I take the tetracycline several times a day (dose is 1500 mg). At my next appointment I am going to ask him why.

This is very interesting. I have double checked and can find no mention of this. All I can find additionally is:
It is recommended that tetracycline not be taken at the same time as aluminum-, magnesium-, or calcium- based antacids, such as Mylanta, Maalox, Tums, or Rolaids since, like food, these compounds bind tetracycline in the intestine. Similarly, tetracycline should not be taken with minerals (such as calcium or iron), with bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol) or with dairy products.
