A member asked:

I'm currently taking doxycycline hyclate 100mg capsules once a day for acne. is it okay to have a few beers tonight? i've been on it for 6 days.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doxycycline/Alcohol: Patients who consume alcohol heavily or long-term eliminate the Doxycycline from their systems more quickly than healthy patients and the Doxycycline would be less effective. Because of these findings, the prescribing doctor might suggest a more frequent dosage, sometimes twice daily, for patients with this background.
