A member asked:

Prescribed both doxycycline hyclate oral (for staph on piercing site) and penicillin (for strep throat). safe to take these at the same time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: No interaction between them. However it is useful to take a probiotic while on the antibiotics to avoid side effects.

Dr Juchau and another doctor agreed
