A member asked:
How soon after stopping doxycycline can you take minocycline?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No delay: These are almost identical antibiotics; either can be used in place of the other, usually in the same dose. If for some reason you're switching, there is no need for any delay -- but if in doubt check with the doctor(s) who prescribed them.

If minocycline is so effective against chlamydia, how come it is never prescribed by doctors for that? I have only seen it really get prescribed for acne and doxycycline is for chlamydia?
