I was recently prescribed this drug for mild acne, no advice was given to me about the possible side effects, or how best to take it (sitting up with plenty water) - it has given me severe chest pain, I am unable to swallow, I have cramps, and my last pill was 5 days ago! I only took it for a week. I am so shocked that they dish this out with such little care, yet it such a powerful drug, used for MALARIA!!! Will I ever feel normal and be able to eat properly again?

Hello,

Doxycyline is NOT just a drug for Malaria, its a Broad Spectrum Antibiotic that is very powerful at killing most bugs dead, even drug resistant types.

Doxycyline is used mainly in the UK & Europe for Chest infections and UTI's (Urinary Tract Infections, Kidneys etc.) its also used for other infections, the advantage over other Antibiotics is Once daily pill dosing and is goes easy on the renal function.
