I started with 100mg 2x a day then 1x then 20mg 2x a day.
I have also made my own cream with clindamycin caps. Bought benzoyl peroxide cream and looked at Clind mg per gram and added heat to cream and disolved powder from clind caps.
Would have to refigure out amounts for cream this was last time...
But using doxy atm.
Here is some info
Everything you need to know about doxycycline for acne:
Doxycycline is an oral antibiotic, which can come as capsules or tablets. Among other things, doxycycline is frequently used as an acne medication. When taken properly, this medication will target and kills the acne-causing bacteria in your pores, while also minimizing any inflammation of the skin. Doxycycline is typically only used for moderate to severe acne, and is almost always combined with topical retinoids or benzoyl peroxide. Doxycycline, as with all antibiotics, should not be taken for extended periods of time, as the acne-causing bacteria can build up a resistance to the treatment.
Where do I get doxycycline?
Doxycycline is a prescription medication, which can only be obtained through a physician. Although general practitioners (GP’s) and family doctors offer acne consultations, dermatologists are the most qualified professionals for diagnosing and treating your acne. If you visit a dermatologist, they will diagnose your condition and provide you with a personalized treatment plan, which almost always includes a prescription medication
