Hi all,
I have been put on augmentin duo forte tabs for two weeks for my broncheictasis and was advised to go off my Doxylin by my doctor. As I haven’t done this before, I am a bit nervous about doing this, any advice for me would be very helpful.
Thanks…….Annie
Diagnosed with RA in 2004, after trying many conventional meds I changed to mino.
2015 changed to doxy 50mgs
2016 went off doxy, after getting double pneumonia and massive flare put myself on 250 mgs Zith & 50 mgs doxy, which I will increase slowly.

The tetracycliness (doxy is one) are known to reduce the effect of the penicillins – which is why your doctor will have suggested you don’t take the doxy whilst on Augmentin Duo. Mainly noted in the treatment of pneumococcal meningitis and strep, they cannot be sure whether it will adversely interfere with treatment of other acute infections, so tend to err on the side of caution.Tetracyclines (bacteriostatic)
