Lymecycline: Lymecycline's side effects can include rash, headache, diarrhea, colitis, nausea, vomiting, dermatitis, dysphasia, hepatitis, hypersensitivity reactions, and visual disturbances. When taken for a long period of time, it can cause reflux oesophagitis. Almost all tetracycline derivatives can also make your skin sensitive to sunlight. Be careful. Your doctor should have explained this to you.
