A member asked:
Can i take erythromycin, doxycycline or tetracycline?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What for?: Don't know why UR asking. Of course U can take any of these antibiotics for appropriate indications provided UR not allergic to any of them. There is cross reactivity between Doxycycline & tetracycline, but not with erthromycin.
