Contact your doctor or seek immediate medical attention if you suspect a doxycycline overdose. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and esophageal irritation. Treatment focuses on supportive care, managing symptoms, and potentially using activated charcoal to absorb the medication.
Missing a dose? Don’t worry. Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Never double the dose to make up for a missed one.
Consistent dosing is key for doxycycline’s effectiveness. Here’s a helpful table summarizing actions for different scenarios:
| Missed one dose | Take as soon as you remember, unless it’s near your next dose. Then, skip it. |
| Missed multiple doses | Contact your doctor immediately. They will advise on how to proceed. |
| Suspected overdose | Seek immediate medical attention. |
Always follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage and instructions. If you have questions or concerns about your medication, contact your doctor or pharmacist for clarification.
