   I take it and it hasn’t given me any rashes. I have thrown up a couple times though.

   A rash could signal a mild allergic reaction to the medication. Let your doctor know.

   Rashes are a frequent side effect of medication, and can range from fixed drug eruptions, to allergies, to Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. The characteristic of the rash (i.e., appearance, pruritus, etc) is very important in ascertaining what is going on. Also remember that doxy makes you very sensitive to the sun.
