There are many people who suffer
from acne disease and prefer to have oral treatment instead
of any kind of surgery. Oral acne treatment technique involves
the presence of bacteria in the body. These bacteria’s helps
in treating acne.
The drugs like antibiotic can also
used for this process to give the better result because antibiotics
attack the harmful bacteria’s that are the cause of infection.
It also helps in stopping the growth of the new bacteria’s.
If we see through the antibiotics, the best recommended one
is doxycycline.
Some years ago, doxycycline was
recommended to the person’s who were the victim of bacterial
virus like gonorrhea. Later, this antibiotic was taken in
connection with tetracycline as it become more effective,
if used with it. It can reduce acne and the growth of the
pimples.
There are other antibiotics like
tetracycline and erythromycin used for treating the acne.
But sometimes these give no response to acne sufferers. Hence,
doxycycline is used for this purpose to cure acne. Though
doxycycline is a safe antibiotic but it is necessary to keep
some of the points in mind before taking doxycycline.
- This antibiotic should be used
after the meal to avoid any discrepancy in the body.
- It should be understood that
100 milligrams of doxycycline is to be taken twice a day.
However, the overdose of any drug may be harmful for the
normal functioning of the body.
- There are many patients who
confirms the result faster and the overdose may cause vomiting
or diarrhea in them.
- This antibiotic should not be
taken with any other antibiotic supplements as it works
better being alone.
- As we know that minerals and
vitamins are essential for our body. But minerals like iron
and calcium and vitamins like antacids do not allow the
body to absorb any drug.
- Also, if you are treating your
acne through this process, you should strictly use sunscreen
or avoid the sunlight because this drug causes sunburn.
- This drug is avoided to pregnant
women due to the unhealthy threat to the unborn babies.
Also, it should be avoided by the breastfeeding mothers
as it affects baby’s teeth and in the development of the
bones.
Although, this drug is the perfect
treatment to the acne problem, it also contains some side
effects. The major side effects include the facial swelling,
itching and irritation. Other side effects are the pain in
the stomach or give cramps in it. Sometimes, it may affect
the respiration process through which our body functions.
This drug should not be taken without the knowledge of the
doctors.
It is to be noted that unlike
doxycyline has many side effects, its overall performance
goes to the best effects of this drug. If this antibiotic
is taken regularly, it may cause the acne problem to go within
few days. But for removing it as earlier as possible, do not
try to take its overdose else you will be in trouble and may
be affected by many skin diseases other than acne.
