Doxycycline monohydrate 100 mg offers a unique approach to treating acne by targeting the root cause: bacteria and inflammation. Unlike topical treatments that only address surface issues, doxycycline is an oral antibiotic that works from within, reducing the number of acne-causing bacteria and decreasing inflammation that contributes to breakouts. This makes it particularly effective for moderate to severe acne that hasn't responded well to other treatments. By reducing bacteria and calming inflamed skin, doxycycline can help clear up existing acne and prevent future breakouts. However, it’s important to use this medication under the guidance of a healthcare provider, as it can have side effects such as gastrointestinal discomfort, increased sensitivity to the sun, and potential changes in the balance of natural bacteria in the body.
