A member asked:
Which acne medication is more effective with less side effects? minocycline 100mg tablets or apo-doxy 100mg.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acne Medications: Both doxy and Minocycline are effective for acne so it really depends on the patient as some patients respond better to one of the medication. Doxy, however, makes the patient more sun sensitive.
