Consumer:Using sodium bicarbonate together with doxycycline may decrease the effects of doxycycline. Administration of sodium bicarbonate and doxycycline should be separated by three to four hours. If your doctor does prescribe these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or special test to safely use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Professional:ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Alkalinization of the urine may decrease the plasma concentration of some tetracyclines. The mechanism is not completely understood, but may involve increased renal elimination of tetracyclines when the urine becomes alkalinized. Information is available for doxycycline, tetracycline, and sodium bicarbonate only.
MANAGEMENT: If these drugs must be used together, an alternating dosing schedule is recommended (three to four hours apart).
