Doxycycline 50mg Capsules are an antibiotic used to treat acne, particularly moderate to severe forms that have not responded to topical treatments. They work by reducing the growth of bacteria (Cutibacterium acnes) on the skin and decreasing inflammation within blocked pores. This helps to reduce redness, swelling, and the formation of new spots.

Doxycycline is usually taken once daily with plenty of water and is often prescribed alongside topical acne treatments for best results. Improvement is typically seen within several weeks, but the full course should be completed as directed to ensure lasting benefits and reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance.
