A member asked:
If someone has increased intracranial pressure and starts taking doxycycline, will the doxycycline cause the intracranial pressure to increase even further? or is it not certain that this would happen?

No, you can take if there is an absolute indication.

If the doxycycline had not been used prior to the onset of Pseudotumor Cerebri, and endocrinological mechanisms appear to have played a role, it could be used safely. But would suggest an alternative antibiotic, just to be fully assured.
