I have been prescribed doxycycline and metronidazole to take one capsule twice a day for 14 days for both tablets . Can I take 2 tablets of my metronidazole and doxycycline or do I have to wait twelve hours after taking the first one .
Do I have to wait 12 hours to take next tablet for doxycycline and metronidazole ?

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?
