A member asked:
I have been on doxycyline for acne 50 mg a day for 11 weeks and no improvement. does this mean it is not working?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ACNE: Doxy 50mg is a pretty low dose, and does not mean it won't work at a higher dose. May need to f/u with your doctor--she/he needs to know it did not help and consider the next treatment option: higher dose vs add topical vs switch antibiotic.
