Doxycycline esophageal ulcers

R Schneider

    The American Journal of Digestive Diseases
    |September 1, 1977

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Doxycycline hyclate capsules can cause acute esophageal ulceration. This condition is likely due to direct contact between the medication and the esophageal lining, not a viral cause.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Pharmacology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Esophageal ulceration is a recognized adverse effect of certain oral medications.
    • Doxycycline hyclate is a commonly prescribed antibiotic with a known potential for gastrointestinal side effects.

    Observation:

    • Two patients presented with acute esophageal ulceration following the ingestion of doxycycline hyclate capsules.
    • Clinical and laboratory investigations ruled out a viral etiology for the observed esophageal lesions.

    Findings:

    • The esophageal ulcers in both patients were directly attributed to the doxycycline hyclate capsules.
    • A direct contact mechanism between the drug capsules and the esophageal mucosa is postulated as the cause.

    Implications:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Clinicians should be aware of the risk of esophageal ulceration with doxycycline hyclate, particularly in patients with pre-existing esophageal conditions.
    • Proper medication administration techniques, such as taking doxycycline with ample water and avoiding lying down immediately after ingestion, may help prevent such adverse events.
