On this episode of the Real Life Pharmacology podcast, I explore doxycycline pharmacology, adverse effects, and drug interactions. Doxycycline can be bound by numerous minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron. Coadministration can lead to reduced concentrations. Sun sensitivity is a really important adverse effect that can be caused by doxycycline. Be sure to educate your patients. Doxycycline can be used as an alternative to beta-lactams and macrolides in the management of community-acquired pneumonia.
