Doxycycline antibiotic one of steps for Cystic Acne treatment
Doxycycline is an antibiotic that is often used to treat severe cases of acne such as cystic acne. It is found under a number of different brand names but is effective in treating and preventing cystic acne and its ingredients help to attack bacteria that cause acne and prevent future outbreaks as well as reduce inflammation, redness and irritation.
Reasons why it is effective
These types of antibiotics are generally prescribed as initial treatment in patient’s suffering from severe acne types such as cystic or nodular acne. Usually a patient will be prescribed Doxycycline after trying topical medications and finding them to be ineffective in treating and/or preventing acne. Usually Doxycycline is only prescribed as a short term therapy but for some patients suffering from very severe acne cases treatment may continue on for months or in some cases even years. It has been found to be so effective in treating acne because it works to prevent the growth and spread of bacteria, something other acne treatments may not be able to do effectively.
How should it be taken?
Doxycycline is typically found in a regular, coated capsule, tablet, syrup or other liquid and is taken orally usually either once or twice a day depending on acne severity etc. When taking Doxycycline it is sugested to drink a full glass of water with each tablet or capsule. If a patient has a history of stomach upset occurring from antibiotics it would be wise to take Doxycycline with food or milk however doing so may decrease the amount of medication that is then absorbed into the stomach and could work less effectively as a result. Patients should follow the instructions on the prescription label carefully and talk to a physician if they have any questions or concerns. Taking Doxycycline exactly as directed is crucial in the prevention and treatment of acne as well as in staying healthy. Do not take more or less than what is prescribed by a doctor as it could result in serious side effects and even result in death.
