I was prescribed both antibiotics to take for 14 days. 3 Clindamycin a day and 2 Doxycycl HYC a day. That is 5 pills a day. Can I put both in my stomach at the same time? Such as: 1 Clindamycin 300mg and 1 Doxycyle HYC 100mg at once. OR should I take them an hour or so apart? Thank you
Can I take Clindamycin 300mg and Doxycycl HYC 100mg at the same time i.e. both at 6am and 6pm?

Yes, you can swallow both capsules at the same time.
The doxycycline are best taken once daily - so take two tablets together at the same time every day for 14 days - they are best taken with food, so at breakfast or dinner, it won't matter, but take at the same time each day.
The clindamycin is best taken every 8 hours (or as close as practical ) - one of those doses can be at the same time as your two doxycycline capsules.
Hope this helps.

Thank you suzanne66 for your help. A few hours after posting the question I noticed a rash starting under my breast... then a couple hours after that it was under both breasts and on my stomach. It is now on my lower back and under my arms. So, I quit taking both the Clindamycin and the doxycycline. I am now waiting for my doctor to call in a different antibiotic (I am allergic to Penicillian). Thanks again and if I had not had to quit taking the meds, I would have done just what you said.
