How does doxycycline interact with antiepileptic drugs and what precautions are necessary to prevent reduced efficacy or increased risks of seizures during treatment?
Doxycycline may decrease the effectiveness of some antiepileptic drugs, like phenytoin, by increasing their metabolism. Patients should be closely monitored for seizure activity.
