jg, california Oct 29th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: i've seen a great significant difference in size and redness of my acne while using doxy, differen, and duac together. its been almost a month and i'm loving the results. i had moderate to severe acne but it is working VERY EFFECTIVELY! Cons: i tend to get a little nauseated a little after taking the pill prior to eating 2 hours before hand. Bottom Line: since i was a teenager i was struggling with moderate to severe acne on my face chest back and even buttox. i used Accutane which cleared me up for a few years but suddenly they all came back again. i tried different topical ointments and antibiotics which did not work for me until my derm. prescribed me Doryx, Differin, and Duac. let me tell you.. its almost been 1 month and my face has significantly changed for the better! no more bad break outs, the cysts are no longer there, and my face does not appear swollen anymore from the huge pimples that i had. i love it and i would recommend it to anybody that is in dire need for a solution to their acne problems. very cheap too!

Tim, Phoenix, AZ Oct 25th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Works for many people. Generic is very affordable. Cons: Bacteria become resistant. Upset stomach. Not always a long-term fix. Bottom Line: Doxy works by directly killing the bacteria that causes acne. Once doxy is discontinued, the same bacteria come back because they are a natural part of everyone's skin. Depending on various individual factors, this may or may not lead to the return of acne. Furthermore, doxy is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that also affects other, beneficial bacteria, such as those in your GI tract, so can make you nauseated. Definitely take doxy with food to avoid this, but be sure to wait two hours before having any dairy or iron because it interferes with absorption. Also, doxy should not be taken by young children (especially those under 8) because it interferes with bone growth and can stain teeth, Sadly, bacteria can become resistant, making doxy completely ineffective (like happened for me). Overall, doxy is a very useful medicine to clear up skin but, once clear, you should look into switching to something else to avoid becoming resistant and the other side effects. Recommended: Yes Usage: Tim has used this item for an inconsistent period of time. Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Lauren, NC Oct 14th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I just started taking doxycline about two weeks ago Cons: i have seen any real results but then again i have only been on it for 2 weeks Bottom Line: I tried differen and cylindagel together and it did very little for me so my derm. perscribed doxycline. As well as taking doxycline i am still on differen and cylindagel. They said that i shouldnt see results until the 6 week point. I was reading other reviews and it seems like everyone gets sick from this medicine, but i will take it on an empy stomach and it is fine, besides on the bottle it says take on and empty stomach and dont eat for 1-2 hours. I also dont understand how everyone got this medicine for so cheap, i have insurence and the dema. gave me a coupon and it was still 25 dollars for 30 pills Usage: Lauren has used this item for a few weeks.
