A member asked:
I had no side effects while taking minocycline. will doxycycline not have any side effects with me as well? both were for acne treatment
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Each medicine has its own side effect profile, but if taken in appropriate dose, you should have minimal side effects. Both are used for acne, as you said. Just try and see, and tell your doctor if you notice any symptoms.
