@George-K so Famotodine should be fine? It’s bad enough that I can’t have beer or whisky for the next 2 weeks. Add stomach issues and it will be a bad time.

H2 blockers increase gastric pH and reduce the bioavailability of doxycycline because of reduced absorption. Same hold true of PPIs, and also the calcium carbonate or aluminum hydroxide antacids (tums, maalox) which neutralize gastric acid.
