What Is It Prescribed For

My dermatologist prescribed me Doxycycl hyc 100 mg to be taken for 3 months! Is it normal to take antibiotics for that long? I m not sure what for did she prescribed those exactly... I have eczema on my hands and acne on my back . Normally prescribed creams help to clear out my skin. Do i really need to take those pills? ## Hello, Lana! How are you? Doxycycline is an antibiotic that is frequently used to treat acne and yes, in that case it is taken for a long period of time. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. It is up to you whether or not you take them, but my guess is that it's for the acne on your back. Are there any other questions or concerns?
