• Convenient Once-Daily Dosage: This simple regimen allows for easy adherence and helps maintain steady levels of the medication throughout the day.

Dosage & Usage:

• Doxycycline 100mg Capsules: Take one capsule once daily with a full glass of water to support absorption and reduce the risk of esophageal irritation. It can be taken with or without food.

Duration:

Most individuals start to notice improvements in rosacea symptoms within the first few weeks. For optimal results, a minimum treatment duration of 3 months is recommended, with further guidance provided by your healthcare provider as needed.
