Does doxycycline cause constipation?

Hello fellas It is really painful and very uncomfortable for me. I only saw diarrhea listed as a side effect, not constipation. What can I do to help me poop while on this medication?

I realize how uncomfortable constipation can be. Constipation is a possible side effect of some drugs, such as antidepressants and opioids.
So;

  • Stay Hydrated
  • Increase Fiber Intake
  • Consider Laxatives
    This will help out.

Hi guys, doxycycline does not cause constipation, it is an antibiotic that is commonly used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. Gastrointestinal side effects are relatively common with doxycycline, but constipation is not one of the most reported adverse effects.

I’ve used doxycycline several times and the only prominent side effect I realized was cracked skin, just near my nasal bridge

hi brother, doxycycline can lead to several side effects, constipation is not frequently reported. however, some individuals taking antibiotics may encounter mild digestive issues such as constipation, diarrhea, or a combination of both.

I’m grateful. Tomorrow, I’ll ask my mum to get me some. I simply don’t understand why doctors who prescribe antibiotics like Doxy don’t also mention the importance of taking a probiotic.
