Both Doxycycline and Flagyl has Vomiting,Nausea,epigastric distress effect.you can ask and change another antibiotics .You can used Antacid for Flagyl but for doxycycline -it's effect will reduce.why you are taking medicine-Flagyl? Flagyl is specially used in Dental problem.There are better antibiotics and less side effect of nausea,vomiting .Consult your Physician
