A member asked:
Can you take doxycycline for only a week if your pimples have already cleared up within this time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
U can, but…: Once the antibiotic is out of your system, the pimples may return. Best to follow the prescribing doc's directions unless you're having intolerable side effects, in which case, notify doc for alternate treatment.
