Minocycline

Generic Propecia

Treat male pattern baldness with FDA-approved finasteride (generic Propecia), a convenient once-daily pill, if prescribed.
Minocycline is an oral antibiotic that reduces acne-causing bacteria and inflammation. It is especially effective for moderate to severe inflammatory acne, including nodules and cysts.
Minocycline is prescribed for individuals with moderate to severe acne that has not responded well to topical treatments or milder oral antibiotics like tetracycline. It is often used as part of a combination therapy with topical retinoids or benzoyl peroxide.
Improvement can be seen within 6–8 weeks of consistent use, but maximum results may take 3–6 months.
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.
