Can i use differin adapalene in my skin while taking doxycycline monohydrate?

Dr. Bin Sung answered

Yes: If your doctor prescribed you with both medicines, that means you need to take both of them foe your acne. There are different types of acne that need different medicines. Your doctor should be able to explain them to you.
