Can you recommend antibiotics for acne? Is it safe to take 25 mg doxycycline tablets twice daily?
Asked by Male, 30 · 2 months ago
Antibiotics, such as Doxycycline, are commonly prescribed for moderate to severe acne. However, the usual dose is typically 100 mg once or twice daily. A 25 mg dose is generally too low to be effective. You should consult a dermatologist to determine the correct dose and duration for safe and effective treatment.
