Answer 1

Id give a call to the  pharmacist - they are very informative on all medications and can definitely help with counteracting drugs if u cant get in touch with ur dr.

1st answer - stop sha*gging about or use a condom. Which i am assuming that your taking doxycycline for a STI or something similar.

It may affect the working of the combined oral contraceptive pill though of course you are strongly advised not to have s*x until the infection has cleared.

Also patients on a combined oral contraceptive pill who are prescribed Doxycycline for malaria need to take additional contraceptive measures, at least for the first month.

Abstinence before marriage is probably your best bet!
