Why is Oracea prescribed?

Oracea, with the generic name Doxycycline, is used to treat symptoms of rosacea like papules, pustules, and acne in adults.

What does it do?

Doxycycline is classified under tetracycline antibiotics that eliminate the bacteria responsible for the disease to provide relief of symptoms and prevent its spread.

How should I take it?

Oracea is currently available as a 40mg capsule, taken whole (not split, chewed, or crushed) by mouth with a full glass of water without food. In case you experience stomach pain whenever you take Oracea, you can take it with a glass of milk or with food. However, taking milk and food with this medication can decrease its absorption.

The dosage strength and frequency will vary depending on your condition. Do not self-medicate and only take this drug after consulting with your doctor or pharmacist to determine the best dosage and dosing schedule for the treatment of your condition.

What if I missed a dose?

Strictly follow your prescribed dosing schedule to achieve the desired effect of this drug. If you miss a dose, administer it immediately. However, if it’s close to the next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and proceed with the regular dosing schedule. Do not administer a double dose to make up for a missed dose, unless told otherwise.

What are the special precautions before taking Oracea?

Oracea can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight. Avoid prolonged sunlight or UV exposure (tanning machines or beds) and use protective clothing or apply sunscreen while taking this medication.

It is imperative that you inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking. Discuss your current and previous medical history and any allergic reactions to Oracea, or any other ingredients included in the manufacture of this medication.

Inform your doctor if you had any form of surgery or if you are planning to get one.
