Can You Take Caffeine and Doxycycline Together?

No documented interaction was identified between doxycycline and caffeine in the sources reviewed.

No documented interaction identifiedEvidence: Moderate

What the interaction means

Doxycycline's FDA label does not mention caffeine (unlike ciprofloxacin, a different antibiotic class, whose own label separately documents a caffeine-clearance effect elsewhere in this catalog). MedlinePlus's caffeine page does not mention doxycycline.

No documented interaction 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.

Practical context

Both substances' own current authoritative sources were checked directly, full text, in both directions -- this finding is specific to doxycycline and is not assumed to extend from ciprofloxacin's separately-documented caffeine effect, since the two drugs are different classes (tetracycline vs. fluoroquinolone) and doxycycline's own label does not make the same claim.
