Tue May 31 2011General purpose Doxycycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic synthesized from tetracycline and used to treat many different bacterial infections such as urinary tract infections, acne, gonorrhea, chlamydial infections, periodontitis (gingivitis), spots, growths and lesions similar to acne and caused by comedones. ... Dosage and Administration This medication should be taken after a meal with a glass of water to reduce irritation of the esophagus. The daily dose should be taken as a single dose or divided into two (taken 12 hours apart). Do not take it in larger amounts or take it to continue after the period of limitation. Some variants of this drug can not be administered with milk products. Do not crush, break, or open a capsule preparation-delay, swallow the pill whole. If a product is suspended by ingestion, shake well before use and assayed with a measuring spoon special. Do not take this medicine if the expiry date is exceeded, as in this case it may affect your kidneys.

Tue May 17 2011I have been on Doxycycline for one month now, I have only noticed a slight improvement but not what I was hoping for after a month. In the beginning it seemed as it got a bit worse and then it started to get better. After the third week it has been pretty constant, I still break out every week with at least 3-4 pimples and this medicine has not stopped new breakouts. However, my face does look somewhat better then it did a month ago. I will give this medicine another few weeks to see if improvements get better.

Tue Oct 05 2010I have been using this med for a little over a week now. I suffer from cystic acne, very painful, the ones that never come to a head. Every month I break out terrible, anywhere from 10-20 pimples all over my face. In just one week, this medicine has cleared up my face almost completely. I have had no new break outs, and my face is clear and pretty again. I'm almost 28 years old, so i'm so relieved to finally have a clear face...if it's only 1 week and it's working so great, then i can't wait to see waht a month or 2 months and so on will show. I recommend anyone with moderate maybe even severe acne to at least give it a try. I don't have any problem with side effects, however, i have been extreemly tired lately, not sure if this med is the cause of it, but it doesnt' even matte,r i'll take the fatigue over pimples!!!

Sun Mar 28 2010I am on my 29th day and am still wondering whether I like this medication or not. Let me begin by stating that I am a 25 year-old female who has never had acne problems until about a year ago. I started to only break out in three spots on my face (left cheek, and both sides of my chin.) We're not talking small zits either- When I say acne, I mean gnarly, cystic acne. The kind that scars even worse than it hurts. The kind where your friends do a double-take after not seeing you for a while. Anyway, I took good care of my skin and even made sure nothing (or no one) touched it... even my cell phone. What's worse is that I couldn't even let my husband kiss my face in fear of a super break-out. Needless to say, my doctor prescribed doxycycline. I take it in 100mg doses twice a day. The first week, I broke out something fierce. So bad that I cried until my eyes were swollen. It seemed that the three major cysts that were on my face upon starting the medication stuck around. ...

Sat Jul 12 2008ive just started on the 3rd pilll i pray it works i deserve a clear face
by spikewillie
Tue Feb 19 2008this totally dried my face out.. which wasn't really a big deal because it cleared my acne up for about a month. A month later and my skin is still dried out, but mmy acne has come back 10X worse! i have never seen my face like this before.. i eat healthy and drink lots of water. I have about 50 pimples on my face. I wanted this to work for me, but i'm fed. My mom even commented on the state of my face in horror.

Tue Feb 12 2008I have used Doxycycline 100MG for 2 years and it's the only acne medication that controls my acne. I have tried other medications but by far this has been the best.

Tue Jan 15 2008i stopped using b/c i kept getting yeast infections. i use cetaphil, duac and clean and clear advantage moisturizer. my face looks alot better after 2 1/2 months.
by missanna
Fri Dec 28 2007like peer90, I'm also taking this with Duac and Differin. I really can't differentiate what is doing what to my face. But overall this blue pill is pretty heavy stuff. Always eat before and consume tons of water. I took this on an empty stomach and threw up.

Wed Mar 07 2007I've been on doxy for over 6months. It works great! it really cleared up my face, under the skin looks even better. But you do have to use cream at night and gel in the morning. Differn at night i use and duac gel in the morning. You must eat before you take doxy, it's really strong, and drink lots of water through out the day....I ran out for a week and I started to brk out really bad....make sure you don't miss dose.
by aksnoopy88
Fri Jan 12 2007I was on it for a while just by itself, twice a day. I kept using OTC topical products but that didn't do anything. After 2 or 3 months my doctor prescribed differin and told me to keep taking it once a day. Differin helped.. dont think the doxy did anything.

Mon Dec 18 2006I have been on a combination Rx of Doxy and Retin-A micro for the past 2.5 weeks. At first, I had severe flaking of my skin and and couldnt even wear makeup it was so bad. It has subsided, but I still have spots of dryness, especially around my mouth, chin, and outside corners of my eyes. I've always had flawless skin until this past summer, where I started breaking out...bad. I thought it had something to do with not working out anymore, since school and work prevented me from having any free time. Its winter now, and as many of you know its a hell-period for acne prescriptions on ur face. The acne on my back is completely non existent now, and my face is slowly clearing up. Its a matter of dealing with the dryness and redness now. I'm going to give both Rxs 2 months and if the dryness and redness dont subside, I'll have to try something else. In conclusion, my face looks A LOT better than it did 2.5 weeks ago, but it still needs a lot of work. Patience and a miracle is in ord... Read more

Fri Nov 10 2006No help at all. All it did was make my skin horribly flakey (like my face was peeling) and no amount of moisturiser worked to combat the terrible problem. No sign of positive results within week. Have just started using clearasil blemish cream and going back to hot hot face water and clinique mild face soap and already there is a noticeable improvement. May work for some, but not me.

Sat Aug 19 2006i have been on doxycycline for about 4 mos now. i had acne all over my back that looked horrible. it has really cleared up but i still have spots from where it was in some areas. i still get a few breakouts here and there but nothing like i was having. i wish i didnt have to take antibiotics for my acne but its the only that works for me.

Wed Aug 18 2004I was put on Doxy for a couple of months by my derm. Since you can build up a resistance to antibiotics over a long period of time, it isn't recommended to take this medication longer than that. I had pretty good results. It did help clear up the painful, cystic acne I had giong on at the time. A year later, I was seeing an eye doctor b/c I was having chronically dry, red, irritated eyes. He recommended me to (in addition to Rx eye drops) try taking 3g daily of Barlean's Flax Seed Oil to help my condtion. He mentioned that it is comparable to Doxy and helps keep the integumentary system(eyes, skin, hair, etc.) healthy. I have been taking the flax seed oil on and off over the past 6 months. I have noticed my skin does look better when I do take the flax seed oil, than when I don't. Overall, worth a try. You can find it at Whole foods.

Sun Jul 11 2004When I first started taking this, it worked like a dream. I had cystic acne on my forehead, rock hard lumps under my skin, very distressing. The doxycycline made a noticeable difference in about two days--just calmed 'em right down, and then cleared them up completely in about a week. My skin was just no problem, it was like I never acne, nothing 'bothered' my skin when I was taking these, didn't have to be careful with it at all. I took it for three months initially coz was the length of the prescription. However, I went off it and the cystic acne would just come straight back and my skin in general wasn't being as laid back, so I took it again...and again...and again (very obliging pharmacist) and now I guess I'm immune to it. I still give it a go every now and then to see if it still works even a bit but if it doesn't start showing results in less than a week, I give up again, so I'm not really sure _how_ immune I am. Still, if you haven't tried it yet, it's definitel... Read more

Tue Jun 22 2004did nothing, i took it for months. sometimes i wonder if the allergies i know have to many antibiotics came from long term use of this, plus the other antibiotics i was given over a 3 year period.

Tue Feb 24 2004ive been taking the 100mg for about 3 months now and noticed that after the first month or so it has really stoped all my breakouts, not permenately but to where i only have a breakout every week or 2 and it clears up really fast. overall i think it worked like a charm, i would recommend it to anyone.
by shaylee
Tue Oct 21 2003Started with Minocyclin 100% results, became immune after 12 months approx, switched to Doxycline - 100% results, became immune to it after 6 months or so, switched back to Minocycline 100% results now becomming immune also (12 months). Side effects from D was the throat thing (felt constricted) and side effects the 2nd time around from M has been discharge, visual disturbances, not so sharp mentally ....still 100% clear skin is worth it (crazy I know but thats how I feel).

Fri Sep 12 2003I have been on doxycycline for 3 weeks now and have noticed only slight improvement. I will re-rate it at the end of my treatment in October. I wanted to rate it a 3 star because it is easy to take and I have had no side effects. Don't take it with milk as it will reduce the medicine's effects by 30%. You can take it with food, though, which is good for stomach upset. Also, don't take vitamins or calcium within 3 hours. This will also reduce the medicine's effectiveness.

Tue Nov 26 2002Used it while I was 19, for a month and it worked wonders for my skin. I was clear for a year (while using some topical treatment creams at the same time), and when I stopped using all these and switch to over the counter products for normal skin, my skin breakout again. I tried using Doxycycline again, and it don't work anymore. I guess Doxycycline only works once. However, it doesn't give me any side effects.

Sun Jun 16 2002For many months after I started taking Doxycycline, I would often feel like there was something huge stuck in my throat or my stomach. I felt nauseus a lot and even threw up several times before realizing that it was the medicine that was making me do it! It's difficult to keep with the explicit instructions (take on an empty stomach, no milk products for 2 hours, something like that). I don't even remember if it helped my skin or not because it made me so miserable I don't like to think about it! It does work for some though. This is just a warning.

Tue Sep 04 2001I am 16, and I used doxy in my sophomore year, when I lived in a very damp, cool, sunless climate;(i.e. Oregon). It worked awesome, after like 1 month, my face was flawless. I had no side effects, but my skin was very pale while I was on it. Then I moved to California, where it's hot and dry, and it stopped working altogether. I am getting my first perscription for Accutane tomorrow. But I would recommend Doxy to anyone in a cold damp place, because that is where it seems to work.

Tue Feb 20 2001I first used doxycycline when I was 19 years old. My then 15 yr. old sister and I started using this med at the same time. It worked wonders for us. We used it for about six months. It totally cleared our faces and my chest and back. Initially, we did have a few break-outs, but after a few weeks they stopped. However, three years later when I decided to try the medication again, it did not work as well. I, as was julias23, was taking a higher dosage. I discontinued the medication when I saw no results after three months.

Fri Feb 09 2001The first time I used Doxycycline it work wonders after using it for three months. I went off of it and just used a topical medication and for a year I had no signs of acne. I started to show signs of my acne again so I went back on it and it doesn't seem to be working as well as it did the fist time even though I am on a higher dosage.
