Doxycycline

Generic Propecia

Treat male pattern baldness with FDA-approved finasteride (generic Propecia), a convenient once-daily pill, if prescribed.
Doxycycline is an oral antibiotic that helps treat moderate to severe acne by reducing acne- causing bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) and inflammation in the skin. It is particularly effective for inflamed lesions like pustules, nodules, and cysts.
Doxycycline is suitable for individuals with moderate to severe acne that has not responded to topical treatments alone. It is often prescribed as part of combination therapy with retinoids or benzoyl peroxide for optimal results.
Results typically begin to appear within 6–8 weeks of consistent use, but full benefits may take 3–6 months. Long-term control often requires transitioning to a maintenance regimen.
Finasteride is for male pattern hair loss in men only, and is not for women or children. Pregnant women should not handle crushed or broken tablets due to fetal risk. See pricing details here.
