Not good at swallowing large capsules so opened my doxycycline & put the mixture into vegan yogurt. will the calcium in vegan yogurt prevent effects?

Advice from internet: "If you cannot swallow the capsule whole, you may open it and sprinkle the contents over a spoonful of applesauce. Do not use hot applesauce. Mix the medicine with the applesauce and swallow the mixture right away, followed by a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the medicine before swallowing. Do not store the mixture for future use."
