If you can eat with it (check the label) then take it with some food. Drugs like Doxycycline for instance can make some people very nauseas on an empty stomach and literally no nausea with food.

If you weigh less than 150 make sure you aren’t being overdosed. Remember adult doses are so they are effective in men.

Look up the dose yourself to make sure your doctor isn’t giving you more than recommended.

Consider switching to another antibiotic. Sometimes there are multiple antibiotics that are very effective, sometimes there is on that is much superior, it depends on the particular infection.

You can try taking probiotics to help also.
