Brief Answer:
Both drugs can be taken together

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Doxycycline and amoxicillin can be taken together because no drug interaction is reported between the two drugs.

Amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid combination is far better than amoxicillin only.

Hope I have answered your query.
