A member asked:

Is it safe to take doxycycline 100mg of acne treatment one hour after taking betaine hcl with a protein breakfast post workout?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Go right ahead. Glad you're working out and doing something about the acne. Heads-up ... An antibiotic must never be your sole treatment for acne. If you're not already doing so, slap on some 5% benzoyl peroxide twice a day. Best wishes.

A member asked:

I am not sure how this works but I would like to discuss my problem with acne. I have seen multiple dermatologist and have not been happy with the results. I am currently on doxycycline and I use a benzoyl peroxide wash with epiduo and an over the counter spot treatment. I have spoke with my Dr and he thinks I would be a great candidate for Accutane. He wants me to go to another dermatologist but I thought I would try this first. Acne?
