A member asked:
Is it dangerous to take doxycycline if i've been experiencing some arm weakness? (what if i incidentally have myasthenia gravis?)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No risk, no worries: Doxycycline is not likely to be dangerous because of this symptom. Myasthenia gravis is very rare and there is probably nearly zero chance you have it. But if you do, doxycycline still wouldn't cause any problem.
