Description

Acne is a skin problem that affects many people, ranging from moderate to severe. It generally develops around adolescence, when hormones surge, creating an overproduction of oil called sebum, which can clog your pores. Solodyn ER is an oral extended-release prescription that acts as a bacteriostatic, interfering with bacterial development but without killing them. Your immune system will kill them, allowing your blemishes to heal and minimise inflammation. Minocycline has no effect on blackheads or whiteheads; it is primarily effective on red, pus-filled pimples and papules.

Your body has thousands of oil-producing glands, the bulk of which are located on your face, chest, and upper back. This oil rises throughout puberty and can clog your pores, along with dead skin cells, creating a breeding environment for germs.

Discuss the side effects of Solodyn ER with your doctor, and inquire about drug interactions if you are taking any other OTC or prescription medication, such as birth control or herbal or vitamin supplements. Certain medicines have the potential to impair the efficacy of others or create unexpected adverse effects. Solodyn ER may also make you more sensitive to sunburn when you are outside, so use sunscreen and appropriate clothes. It is critical that you take Solodyn ER exactly as prescribed and for the duration stated, since bacteria can begin reproducing again before they are fully destroyed.
