A member asked:
I was recently prescribe doxycycline 40mg once a day and to take with a full stomach. i am breaking out even more. is that normal? does it get worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It takes a week: It's normal to break out more initially but it should stabilize after 1-2 weeks. The dosage may be increased by your doctor but ideally the lower doses are better for acne.
