i have a skin condition called perioral dermatitis i went to the dermatologist and was prescribed doxycycline 100mg once daily is that the right dose i am 19 years old
Hello,
Normally doxycycline which is an antibiotic is prescribed in a twice daily dose but your dermatologist has prescribed 100 mg once daily dose instead of a 50 mg twice daily dose. Doxycycline is available in different doses and depending on the skin condition, it is prescribed. You should continue taking the medicine as prescribed by your doctor.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
