I threw up my 1st morning doxycycline capsule within 55 mins the last 3 days due to taking it on an empty stomach. will i need to redo my treatment? ive been told i should be fine. but i am a bit worried it wasnt absorbed?

If you do not see the capsule in the vomitus or if the color of vomitus was not quite yellow, you may absorb some of this medication but likely not the full dose. It depends on the dose you are on, 100 mg twice a day or just one a day and the condition to be treated, you may be fine with just one a day dose. Nausea/vomit are #1 side effects of Doxy, you should take with meal but no dairy products.
