Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 For those of you taking Borage Oil, Fish Oil or Zinc, you should be aware of possible interactions with aspirin and doxy/tetra/minocycline. I've been taking the above supplements for quite some time (as well as doxycycline). I didn't know there was a problem until I stumbled across: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/healthinfo/wholehealth/list_nutrientin teractions.html It says borage and fish oil may intensify the blood-thinning effect of aspirin and other blood-thinning drugs. Also, if you take zinc, it may make doxycycline less effective. You should take zinc at least 2 hrs after doxy. Zinc: Drug Interactions Doxycycline Zinc may make doxycycline less effective. Take zinc at least 2 hours after ingesting doxycycline. Minocycline Zinc may make minocycline less effective. Take zinc at least 2 hours after ingesting minocycline.
