NCCIH's ashwagandha fact sheet names six medication classes it may interact with (diabetes medicines, high blood pressure medicines, immunosuppressants, sedatives, anticonvulsants, and thyroid hormone medications) -- antibiotics are not among them, and doxycycline's own FDA label does not mention ashwagandha.

No documented interaction between Ashwagandha and Doxycycline was identified in the authoritative sources reviewed. This is not a guarantee that no interaction exists for every dose, formulation, or individual -- it means the sources checked did not document one.
