Thanks for jumping in @kandidubrall 😊 It's very nice to meet you!
Do you remember why they told you to avoid Doxycycline? Were they concerned about C diff or damage to the liver?
Did liver transplant suggest you avoid any other antibiotics?
I am starting to learn about how these meds work. I never had a problem taking amoxicillin for dental work, but Doxycycline is definitely a different and stronger reaction!

Doxycycline interferes with some of your medication that you take.
I was always told never take new medication unless I speak to my pharmacies that has been assigned to me. I tell all doctors that I am transplant patient, and I will need to check with my pharmacies first before I take any new medications.
