I have PCOS problem for which I was prescribed steroids once and my reaction towards the first one itself was bad, hence, I stopped taking it. Its been 3 years now and I have been getting severe acne, my dermatologist has prescribed MINOZ OD 100 for it. Is it safe to start taking them pills?

MINOZ OD 100 is a brand name for Minocycline, which is commonly used to treat acne. The usual dosage for Minocycline in the treatment of acne is 50-100 mg twice daily. It is important to follow your dermatologist's instructions regarding the dosage and duration of treatment. Before starting Minocycline, inform your dermatologist about your previous reaction to steroids to ensure there are no contraindications. Additionally, discuss any other medications you may be taking to avoid potential drug interactions. Regular follow-up with your dermatologist is recommended to monitor your response to the treatment and address any concerns.
