Don't take together: B Vitamins can decrease effectiveness of Doxycycline. It is considered a minor interaction. Hold off on the supplements while taking the antibiotic unless your doctor has prescribed the supplement. In that case discuss this with that doctor.

No problem: Vitamins don't interfere with doxycycline or any other antibiotics. Don't owrry about it.
