Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

doxycycline fecal microbiota, live

Applies to: Ocudox (doxycycline) and fecal microbiota, live

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Antibiotics may interfere with the therapeutic effects of fecal microbiota, which contains live bacteria. The mechanism may be related to the antibiotic inactivating the bacteria or reducing bacterial replication. In clinical studies an antibiotic washout period between 24 to 72 hours was required prior to the rectal administration of fecal microbiota.

MANAGEMENT: Although data are limited, it may be prudent to have an antibiotic washout period between 24 to 72 hours prior to administration of the rectal formulation of fecal microbiota. In addition, the manufacturer recommends avoiding oral antibiotics for up to 8 weeks after administration of the rectal formulation of fecal microbiota.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

doxycycline food

Applies to: Ocudox (doxycycline)

Iron can bind to doxycycline in the gastrointestinal tract, which may prevent their absorption into the bloodstream and possibly reduce their effectiveness. To avoid or minimize the interaction, iron-containing medications and doxycycline should preferably be taken at least three to four hours apart in most cases. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns, or if you have trouble separating the dosing times. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
