Abstract
Seven of 160 patients receiving prolonged courses of doxycycline for moderate-severe acne developed uncommon side-effects. Five patients (3.1%) developed a photosensitive rash. In four of these this developed when the patients were abroad and they were subsequently able to continue the drug. Two patients (1.25%) developed symptoms of oesophagitis and had to discontinue therapy.Keywords
