- •Receipt of benzathine penicillin G within the past 12 weeks
- •Prior receipt of a gonorrhea vaccine
- •Current use of medications or products that may interact with doxycycline, including:
- •Vitamin A derivatives (e.g., isotretinoin, acitretin)
- •Antiepileptic drugs (e.g., phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital)
- •Immunosuppressive agents (e.g., methotrexate)
