A member asked:
I'm on a 2x a day, 7 days round of doxycycline. i threw up 40 minutes after taking my 5th or 4th dose . im concerned that the medicine wont treat my infection?

After 40 minutes, most drug is absorbed. And even entirely missing a few dose in the 7 days course don't matter much. The doxycycline still will work. You can reduce stomach upset by taking it with food (but not dairy products).
