Adoxa (doxycycline) for Acne: This medicene worked really well on clearing up my skin and it was great because I am allergic to almost all other medicines and creams for acne. The only bad thing is that my doctor stops prescribing it in the summer.

Oracea (doxycycline) for Rosacea: My husband has had severe rosacea all his life. He was prescribed Oracea about three years ago. Neither of us had any particular opinion of its efficacy until we had to interrupt his therapy for budgetary reasons. While he was off Oracea, his condition flared and visibly worsened. When we resumed his therapy we could see the improvements almost instantly! Thank you, thank you!

doxycycline for Acne: I have been on this drug for 2 months to help me with my acne. I have rosacea, and I still have a red face, however now I no longer have the acne along with it. I was prescribed to take this 100mg 2 times a day, and to take it 2 hours before and after eating (aka take it WITHOUT food).
So far, so good, but I know I cannot be on this forever since I am a woman and may be pregnant soon. I wonder what to follow up with to avoid the probem the woman above had.

doxycycline for Acne: I was prescribed this by my regular doctor for treatment of cystic acne.
It worked wonderfully for 3 years straight. Then I went off of it for about 3 months, due to pregnancy. After my miscarriage, I tried to get back on doxy. My acne stayed put. It doesn't work on me anymore.
But when it did work, it was absolutely wonderful!!

Doryx (doxycycline) for Acne: Doryx was originally intended to clear up a rash-like infection near my genitals. It cleared it up, but an even better effect was to clear up my adult acne. It did so in just a few days of use, taking one 100mg tab per day with lunch.
