Why must doxycycline be taken sitting upright?

To make sure the capsule reaches the stomach. Lying down straight after can irritate the food pipe.

Can tetracyclines be taken with milk?

Calcium binds them and reduces absorption, so milk, antacids and iron are spaced apart from the dose.

Are these used for acne?

Yes, in longer courses prescribed by a dermatologist, usually with a topical molecule.
