timmoore 0 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 it helps reduce redness of active acne and makes my new ones smaller. so i can take it for years without side effcts of regualr dose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bran88 2 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Right now I'm taking 100 mg a day (doryx), but I;m thinking of switching to 1 pill every other day (effectively 50 mg a day since it's time released) until i run out of my prescription, i'll update how that goes in my log. Is oracea time released?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmoore 0 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 yes its tiem relasesed 40 mg. so it doesnt kill bacteria, but when your acne is undercontroll with topicals you can use it for maintenance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
