Doxycycline is an antibiotic that has anti-inflammatory properties. Many are using it to combat acne and with great success.
In low doses Doxycycline doesn’t work as an antibiotic. It doesn’t get high enough in concentration to kill bacteria and you don’t get any of the side effects of an antibiotic. However, the dosage is high enough to give you the anti-inflammatory effects that knock out tough cases of acne.
If you are taking an oral contraceptive containing estrogen, you should consider adding a condom while taking Doxycycline.
The contraceptive efficiency of the pills may be reduced and you will risk pregnancy if you have unprotected sex.
