Hi, Courtney! You should take your doses at least eight hours apart, but 12 hours is better to maintain an even amount of the medication in your bloodstream at all times.

I took my first dose of doxycycline at 6:30 AM and meant to take the next one at 6:30 PM, but I messed up and took it instead at 1PM! So, do I just skip the second dose for today OR do I take a third dose?
