A member asked:
2 days headache after taking doxycycline. is it a common side effect? should i discontinue the medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Headaches: Headache may occur in up to 26% of people taking doxycycline. I would consider that a very common side effect. If the headache is mild/ tolerable and you are on medication short-term, it might make sense of complete your course of treatment. However, you really need to address this matter with the prescribing doctor.
