What the interaction means

Doxycycline's FDA label does not mention St. John's Wort. NCCIH's St. John's Wort page names several drugs it can weaken (antidepressants, birth control, cyclosporine, anticonvulsants, heart medications, HIV drugs, cancer medications, warfarin, certain statins) -- doxycycline or antibiotics generally are not among them.

No documented interaction between Doxycycline and St. John's Wort 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

Doxycycline's FDA label and NCCIH's St. John's Wort page were checked directly, full text, in both directions. Neither source names the other.
