Just started taking the name brand, have had no issues. It's best to take with food due to with most medication it will not settle on an empty stomach, so yes 30 minutes later you possibly will throw it up. I also take after dinner just incase there still may be a side effect I can just sleep it off. Medication will not work also if you eat or drink any dairy,antacids or iron products 1 hour ...

Medication will not work also if you eat or drink any dairy,antacids or iron products 1 hour before or 2 hours after, the medication will combine with that product and neutralize.

My doctor prescribed this medicine for acne. I have been having one tablet everyday for about 6 weeks now and my acne has almost completely cleared. I have been also using aczone and epiduo.

My doctor prescribed this medicine to me and I vomited about 30 minutes after taking it. Awful experience!

I have been using this drug for about a month and it's been great. My acne cleared up pretty much immediately. My doctor prescribed it with Aczone... I highly recommend

First let me say that I rarely write reviews. I feel, however, that my experience with this drug was unpleasant and rare enough, that it needs to be noted. I began taking acticlate 75 mg and within 1 day had terrible joint pain and body aches all over my body. My back, hips, and even my collarbone ached and had occasional sharper pains. I stopped the meds, but desperate to help my acne, and assuming this had to be a fluke, began them again a week later. Again, within 24 hours the mystery pain returned. I dealt with it for three days and had to stop it again because the pain was so bad. Both times within one day of stopping the drug the pains stopped. I called my doctor after the second bout with it and he said that joint pain and body aches ARE a more infrequent side effect of this drug, and all drugs in the same family, and told me to discontinue it immediately (which I already had done). I just wanted to make others aware that if you are taking a doxycyclene type of drug and in pain, you AREN'T CRAZY!Stop taking it and you'll likely feel better!
