What to do if i got doxycycline for acne, but will it also get rid of other bacterial infections i may not know about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Infections usually cause symptoms. Doxycycline will not just target acne but kill the bacteria that stand in it's way, good and bad. Take probiotics and eat yogurt to repopulate your stomach with healthy bacteria again. Be sure to take the antibiotic with food.
