Doxycycl Hyc Cap 100mg Side Effects

I am on Doxycycle HYC 100 mgs for 10 days for a severe sinus infection. Can or will this drug take your taste away while you are on it? I've been on it for 3 days now and haven't been able to smell or taste anything for the last 3 days. Thanks. ## Doxycycline is a Tetracycline class antibiotic, used to treat a variety of infections. No, that is not listed as a common or rare side effect of this medication. In actuality, it is more than likely the sinus infection that is causing the problem. That can affect both your sense of taste and smell. Common side effects to Doxycyline may include: nausea, drowsiness, skin rash and diarrhea.

I started taking this because of cellulitis. I have completed a full day of medication. I have a low grade fever and slight body aches. Is that normal? ## Hello, Sarah! How are you?

Can this be used to clear an infection post circumcision on a 10 year old boy? He doesn't have any drug allergies that I know of. ## At such a young age, I strongly urge you to take him to a doctor and let them prescribe an appropriate medication, if an infection is present. It's far too risk to try to diagnose the issue yourself and treat it with something that wasn't prescribed for him. The FDA classifies this medication as an antibiotic and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?
