One of the things with doxy is that it will bind to magnesium, thereby rendering it ineffective. I have to be off magnesium while being treated with this.

walkingafineline,

What proof do you have that magnesium does this? With all the years of research I have done, I never read that anywhere by a reputable doctor or site.

by the first site of google i found that not to take minerals such as iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, and over-the-counter vitamin and mineral supplements;
and on the packet it says only no iron or zinc supplements.

Both my pharmacist and ND want me to take the antibiotics 2 hours away from other supplements. As regards to specific minerals, calcium inhibits the absorption of doxy, so my pharmacist even told me to avoid dairy during the meals when I take my doxy.
