Abstract

Drug induced esophageal disease is common. Doxycycline is one of the commonest causes of drug induced esophageal disease. The diagnosis is usually clinical but endoscopy is the gold standard diagnostic modality. Treatment is mainly depending on discontinuation of the offending medication. If left untreated it can have serious consequences like delayed esophageal stricture. A 22-year-old male had been prescribed doxycycline capsules for acne and developed odynophagia. Endoscopy revealed extensive esophageal ulcerations. He was managed symptomatically with proton pump inhibitors and his odynophagia improved over a period of five days. He was discharged with proper advice regarding medication ingestion and proton pump inhibitor for four weeks.
