A member asked:

What happens if you miss a day of taking doxycycline in the 7 days of having to take them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Depending on what you are taking the Doxycycline for, missing a day may or may not be a big deal. You should make up the lost day and talk to your doctor about it.
