Question: How Effective Are Doxycycline, Minocycline, and Tetracycline in Treating Acne!?
I'm taking 200 mg of doxycycline a day for my mild inflammatory acne, and I tried lose dose accutane before that, but it failed!. Are doxycycline, minocycline, and tetracycline very effective in teating mild to severe acne!? I hope this works, because I've run out of options!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
I noticed very little change after starting tetracycline!. I used it for about 3 months, then gave up!.
I would not recommend it!.
All in all, it was a waste of money, stained my teeth (a common side-effect of long-term antibiotics), and made my acne harder to treat because it built up a resistance to antibiotics!. From what I have heard (And semi-experienced - although I have never tried accutane), the only oral medication that really consistently works is regular to high dosage Accutane, otherwise just stick with topical stuff!.
Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
