Hello,
Limecycline will not cause cramps or vaginal discharge. Since you have been getting your periods monthly, it is unlikely that you are pregnant.
However, brown vagina discharge along with cramps is concerning for vaginal and pelvic infections.
Please be advised to follow up with your ObGyn to undergo pelvic examination, vaginal swab, and culture. Additional investigations may also be recommended depending on the initial screening evaluations.
If an infection is confirmed, antibiotics depending on the specific type of infection would be initiated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
