Q: is this true that the absorption of liquid form of doxycycline absorption is not effectively absorbed by food and milk?

: It's a minor effect, for both tablets and liquid doxycycline. To assure maximum effectiveness, take the drug an hour or two before or after any dairy products. Otherwise no worries.
