Answer 2

I have heard this question before, but never had an answer. I personally try to avoid chemical treatments if possible, my skin is very sensitive to most. So I try to use natural remedies when I can. Here is a free e book I downloaded to help http://naturalacneremedy.gr8.com

This medicene i have just started taking again for once a day 100mg. I go back to see my dermatologist after three months it can take a while to work but it does work i promise! I also heard YAZ works? Not sure)) Just give it time... it will work i promise you might see a difference in 2weeks.. or a month i would say give it atleast a month to see some difference! Try not to touch your face and wash it more:)

Answer 5

Wait at least a month. Take it at the same time everyday, and on an empty stomach. (Don't eat two hours before or after) A lot of supplements can negate the antibiotic, which is why you need to be on an empty stomach. If it doesn't work by the second month, chances are something is negating the drug or the acne is resistant.

Answer 6

It's an antibiotic, and yes, my dermatologist prescribed it to me under the name "doryx".
