person-avatar

Asking For Self, Male 25, Lahore

I am taking Doxycycline for Prostatitis. But in same time I took Vitamin D supplement without doctor advice. And I got Vitamin D toxicity. I read Vitamin D toxicity cause too much calcium in blood know as (hypercalcemia). I am confused that is doxycycline worked properly because my doctor advised me to take doxycycline without dairy product as calcium interfer with doxycycline which lower its absorption. So I am confused, is that calcium in blood also work same for doxycycline?
