I've been using minocycline for roughly 8 months and now i've started to see a few pimples start to pop up. My doctor told me to swtich to doxycycline. I'm wondering if anyone has experience switching from one med to another. Do you have to do the whole 1 month build up thing when switching or should it start working sooner since a lot of my p acnes are already dead from the mino ? Not wanting to have a huge breakout during the holiday season......
any help is appreciated.
Antibiotic drugs ive heard that body builds immunity to it perhaps that is why your getting few pimples as to the switch, initial breakouts might be possible because its a different type of medication but acts the same. But hey atleast if you do get minor breakouts its during the holidays where its with famiky whereas its not with other people. But cheer up!
Perhaps for the moment you can ask your doctor if you spot treat with benzoyl peroxide it kills p. Acne bacteria 2.5% should do until you start.
