Doxycycline & prenatal vitamins - any pharmacists?

[buttonmoon78]

I'm currently taking prenatal vitamins which include iron. I've also been given some doxycycline for an infection and just reading the labels it says not to take with iron preparations.

My most fertile days are now until Sunday to I really don't want to 'waste' this month but can I take the vitamins or not? If not, should I be taking another form of folic acid for the next 7 days whilst I'm on the antibiotics?

Or am I being wholly neurotic?! I thought that by the time I'd got to TTC#4 all neuroses would have vanished

I've also put this in general health to maximise traffic...

Just take the doxycycline 2 hours before or after the iron to avoid the interaction, good luck TTC!

Ah, excellent, thank you. I took my vitamin this morning at 7 as usual but didn't get the doxycycline until lunchtime so I guess if I continue doing that I'll be fine.

Thanks again!
