it's generally easy to take; my pharmacist recommended i take it with foods (that are low in calcium and iron) which tends to be a bit annoying, but whatever. i find it works well when I am consistent in taking it. I've had a few weeks where I was bad at taking it, and the results showed about a month later (minor break out). i dont have any acne on my face, but see the occasional on my back/ch ...

I've had a few weeks where I was bad at taking it, and the results showed about a month later (minor break out). i dont have any acne on my face, but see the occasional on my back/chest. my acne wasn't that bad to begin with. I haven't noticed any side effects and am pleased with the results. it's also fairly inexpensive i find.

I gotta say, I hate being the harbinger of bad news, but here I go... I have been taking this drug for 4 months, and honestly my acne situation has not improved at all. I still have the comedones, the inflamed whiteheads (fun, I know), and oily skin. Although I have experienced no side effects, I have also not experienced any acne improvement, so I am starting to wonder if this pill does anything ... Show Full Comment

I am a 50 year old woman who's face broke out in sever acne about a year ago after 2 tragic losses in my family. I was ashamed to walk out my front door with out cover up on. Because some one would always make a comment " what's wrong with your face?" or "ewe what is all over your face?". My face became lumpy, bright red with large looking white head, it became worse by the day, stress made it worse, I finally went to my doctor,after nothing else worked he prescribed minocycline, with in days of starting this medication I could clearly see positive results. All though I did get an upset stomach and dizzy taking it on an empty stomach. I started taking it with food or a large glass of milk, I know the directions say different but the healing continues. My face looks almost normal again. I have taken a photo of my face almost daily and I am so happy with the results thus far. I have no intentions of taking this medication for months or even years. I will give myself time to heal, SEE my MD in 2 more weeks to check if the medication should be stopped or continued. Sitting here reading all of the negative reactions concerns me, Its clearly written on the warning label if you have negative side effects STOP taking the drug and call your MD.
