Doryx is taken on an empty stomach, by mouth. When we say “empty stomach”, it means two hours after having a meal, or one hour before having a meal. It is usually taken twice a day, but your doctor will give you the best advice on how to use Doryx. In case of a stomach upset, take Doryx with food. However, make sure you do not take this medication with foods that contain calcium. After taking Doryx, you should not lie down, for at least ten minutes.

If used for malaria prevention, Doryx is taken only once a day. The first dose will have to be taken one or two days before traveling to the malarious area. You will have to continue to use Doryx there. When you return home, you will have to take Doryx for at least four weeks.

You must not chew or crush this medication. If you can’t swallow the capsule, you can open it and take it right away. You can break the tablet, but you have to take it right away.
