Doxycycline is an oral antibiotic in the tetracycline family that also has powerful anti-inflammatory effects, which makes it a go-to prescription for moderate-to-severe inflammatory acne and for rosacea. It is often used for a focused course alongside topical treatments to calm breakouts and redness quickly while longer-term therapies take effect.
Through our partner pharmacy, doxycycline is available for $28 for a one-month supply or $55 for a two-month supply, cash-pay — this is the cost of the medication and is separate from your visit fee. Doxycycline is prescription-only and is not right for everyone: it should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or in children under 8. Our providers take your comprehensive medical history into account when deciding whether doxycycline is the right choice for you.
