Vibramycin Side Effects: An Introduction

As with any medicine, side effects are possible with Vibramycin^® (doxycycline). However, not everyone who takes the medication will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or are easily treated by you or your healthcare provider.

(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with Vibramycin. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list of Vibramycin side effects with you.)

Possible Bothersome Side Effects of Vibramycin

Vibramycin is an old medication, approved long before the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) required manufacturers to include highly detailed information on side effects in the prescribing information for medications. As a result, only vague information on possible side effects is provided, with no specific percentages.

Based on this limited information, some of the possible bothersome (but not usually dangerous) side effects of Vibramycin include:

Nausea and vomiting
Loss of appetite
Diarrhea
Tongue inflammation
Yeast infections (such as vaginal yeast infections).
