Doxycycline is often prescribed for moderate to severe inflammatory acne, especially red or painful breakouts. It’s typically used when topical treatments alone aren’t enough.
Treatment usually lasts 8-12 weeks. It’s often combined with topical medications to help maintain results after stopping the antibiotic.
Common side effects include stomach upset and increased sun sensitivity. Taking it with food and using sunscreen can help reduce these effects.
While probiotics aren’t required, we often recommend taking them during antibiotic use. Some patients choose to take a probiotic during treatment to help support digestive health and reduce the risk of stomach upset or antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
