Abstract:
Many dentists are unaware of the documented adverse drug reaction of doxycycline: induced dizziness. Because doxycycline is frequently prescribed in dentistry, it is important for dentists and patients to be aware of this significant adverse reaction to prevent medical complications. A clinical case is reported in which a patient developed dizziness after taking doxycycline that was prescribed following periodontal surgery. The dizziness resolved when the doxycycline was stopped. Patients and dentists should be educated to recognize the signs and symptoms of doxycycline's adverse reactions.
