Q: can i take doxycycline for. like a week to clear acne the. wait like month later and try to get pregnant?

: Quite often acne treatment may take a much longer time to control. Also, it would not be wise to take certain meds such as Tetracycline at about the time that you might conceive See your dermatologist for perhaps topical treatment and ask your ob-gyn about what is permissible when you are pregnant.
