They should not be used by pregnant women or while breastfeeding as it poses the risk of decreased bone growth and permanent tooth discoloration. Expired antibiotics in this class are also linked to causing kidney damage so discard any <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/finish-antibiotics\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">unused<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> medication after the expiration date. Avoiding sunlight and tanning beds while taking this antibiotic is important as it can cause the skin to sunburn easier. Drug interactions with prescription drugs such as antibiotics (i.e. amoxicillin, azithromycin) and blood thinners (i.e. warfarin) may pose complications and are usually not used with doxycycline or antibiotics in its class.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/how-do-antibiotics-work\/\"><b>Antibiotics 101: What are they and why do we need them?<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-can-i-take-in-place-of-doxycycline-hyclate\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What can I take in place of doxycycline hyclate?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to several mild and severe <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/doxycycline-hyclate-side-effects\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">unwanted reactions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> associated with the use of&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">doxycycline hyclate, this antibiotic may not be a good fit and an alternative may be&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">required.

Some common reactions associated with demeclocycline include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, flatulence, abdominal discomfort, epigastric discomfort, photosensitivity, rash, candidiasis, headache, dizziness, tinnitus, tooth discoloration, and enamel hypoplasia. More serious reactions include anaphylaxis, angioedema, photosensitivity, lupus erythematosus, serum sickness-like reaction, erythema multiforme, exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, diabetes insipidus, pancreatitis, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, hemolytic anemia, pseudotumor cerebri, kidney and liver toxicity, superinfection, Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea, and Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction.

Minocin can also be used for leprosy as a nontraditional treatment alternative.
