A member asked:
I dropped my doxycycline pills for my skin on the floor & i washed them off..now they smell & are stuck together.. is it still okay to take them?

Yes: Next time just put them back in the bottle. Do not wash or clean them. Ask DR or pharmacist for replacement. This was once a low-cost med costing $40 for a bottle of 500 pills. Now that bottle costs $2000!!! Do you have pills or capsules? Typical dose for acne is 20 to 50mg a day. For adult female, spironolactone usually works better.
