A member asked:
Can doxycycline 200mg increase liver enzymes or cause them to be high(ast&alt) or is it unlikely?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, Doxycycline can indeed raise live enzymes, as can many safe drugs. The question really is, how much are they elevated and how quickly do the come down after stopping it. It would also be nice to know what your liver enzymes were prior to being on the doxy, if the baseline is available.
