Answers:
I looked up an interaction check and nothing comes up. The only interactions with doxycycline I can think of off the top of my head are with birth control. (sorry if you are a guy, I forgot to check) I know what you mean about decreasing acid production it makes sense, but Prevacid is not an antacid though it is a proton pump inhibitor. You should stay away from tums, maalox, mylanta, 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking doxycycline.
Doxycycline might cause stomach upset like with any antibiotic and I know with me stomach upset can trigger acid reflux. I don't know how often your take your prevacid but maybe while you are taking the doxycycline you want have to take your prevacid twice a day to deal with any extra acid you might have.Health Question & Answer
