I have been taking rifampin for one year (bart) and bicillin for three months (lyme) plus biaxin and flagyl. My doctor has added doxy to augment the rifampin, but noted that it could decrease bicillin levels.
Does anyone have experience with taking doxy and bicillin together?
I need something to augment the rifampin, but I don't want to jeopardize the bicillin treatment.

Thanks!
