Doxycycline: Some common side effects of Doxycycline include photosensitivity (easy to burn in sun, so important to use sunscreen, keep covered), nausea/vomiting/abdominal discomfort, headache, allergic reactions. Just keep in mind, almost any medication has a long list of potential side effects, but they only occur in a small number of cases.
