[Esophageal ulcer caused by doxycycline]
Abstract
We describe a case of esophageal ulcer produced by oral ingestion of a capsule of doxycycline. A review is made of medications that produce esophageal lesions, and the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of these lesions. We emphasize the importance of taking these drugs with abundant liquids, in erect position, never before going to bed, to prevent these lesions.
