Doxycycline Side Effects - how to diminish?


Question:
Hi - another medical question. I'm taking doxycycline to clear up acne, but I do have increasingly annoying side effects - stomach cramps and excess gas. I have tried taking the medication with lots of water and just after/before eating with little help. Any other suggestions for diminishing the side effects, besides stopping the pills? Thanks!

Answers:
Take the med with food, and use Gas-X or Phazyme for the gas. If that doesn't help, maybe ask the dr. about changing antibiotics.
Not sure if there are any way to diminish the annoying side effects. I took the same meds for a while and had to stop because of terrible diarrhea. Maybe just ask your doctor.
