Yes, calf soreness can be one of the possible side effects of doxycycline. Doxycycline is an antibiotic from the tetracycline group that is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections.
While calf soreness is not a common side effect of doxycycline, it can happen in some people. In case you experience calf soreness while taking doxycycline, it is recommended that you consult your doctor. Your doctor can assess whether your symptom is related to doxycycline or other causes, and recommend appropriate treatment. In some cases, it may be necessary to reduce the dose, stop treatment or switch to a different medicine.
