mynocyline on the long term

Dear Dr Rockoff

[Alan Rockoff, MD]

Franco:

Minocycline is indeed safe for long-term use.  My hunch is that eventually your acne will give up, and if you stop the minocycline once in a while, you'll find out when.  Chances are other antibiotics would do no better, so as long as minocycline helps while you use it, it's probably a good (and safe) bet.

Best.
