A member asked:
Should i quit taking doxycycline if i start having joint/tendon pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: As this can be one of the common side effects of the drug, however, you may want to do so and call your doctor about it. Doxycycline is a different class from other medications as flouroquinolones that may cause tendon rupture as a side effect (rare) , best wishes
