How Long Does Weakness In The Arms And Legs Caused By Doxycycline Take To Get Cured?
I. haave had total weakness in arms and legs and have just finished 10 days doxycline Hospital could not find anything wrong with my heart, hydration or anything except very bad reflex in left leg. If this is from the doxycycline how long will it take for it to disappear?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. The half life of doxycycline is about 18 hours. So in less than 5 days there is less than 1% left in the body and the side effects disappear.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
