I saw limited results from oracea. It has to be taken daily. I developed rashes around the eyes which were very itchy and had to be treated with some anti-fungal. I tried minocycline 100 mg/day for a short period and had great results. Also, for a generic drug - doxycycline - this stuff is expensive.

Comment:
I have been on this drug for a couple of years, oracea keeps outbreaks at bay. I have to make sure to take this everyday or I will get a pimple (especially on my nose). I have had no side effects. It is an expensive drug, but I have a $25 drug card from the manufacturer.
