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.

Patients and dentists should be educated to recognize the signs and symptoms of doxycycline's adverse reactions.
