A member asked:
Hi,is there any problem with cosume of doxicycline and dexametazone simultaneously for infection of skin ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dexa and doxy: Not when taken as prescribed. Dexamethasone as well as other steroids should be used sparingly (at lowest dose and shortest course of treatment) as they have the potential of weakening the immune system and bones especially when taken systemically for longer periods at a time. There's no significant interaction with doxycycline.
