Doxycycline Hyclate and ulcers

I took it without water once. Well, I actually drank a glass of water and then took the capsules without taking another sip. They lodged in my throat and led to 2 severe ulcers in my esophagus.

I didn't put the events together for some time and neither did the doc: Couldn't eat for a long while.

Please take with water as directed.

I was taking doxycycline for about a month and one night experienced really bad indegestion (or thats what it felt like). After that it got worse. It casued me to have such bad acid reflux that it had begun to destroy my esophogus. I couldn't eat anything with any type of acid or texture and finally had to go to the doctor and get on medication. Now I am having to have an upper GI done to look for ulcers that were created, and I still am not able to eat reguarly.
