A member asked:

Took doxycycline mono 7 pm, both legs had calf muscle cramps during nite. i am 60, it was prescribed for an ear infection. worried, what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I cannot: Be sure whether Doxycycline can cause these symtoms, but you should notify your doctor who prescribed it for you. Perhaps another antibiotic would work for your ear infection.
