Is it possible to take minocycline for only one month since my acne is not as bad as the last few times?

28-year-old woman2 years ago

Hello, I am 26 years old and 1 year ago I started a treatment against acne! I took minocycline for 3 months and I've been using tactupump forte since then. The acne got better with all of that but it has come back a little in the last few months. I still have a prescription for Minocycline.

Hello ma'am,

Minocycline is to treat acne flare-ups. When it gets better, you could stop it.

It takes 4-6 weeks usually.

Hopefully I have been helpful to you, I am still available if you have any other questions!

Cordially,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
