Oral antibiotic tablets can be very effective in the treatment of both acne and rosacea.

The price is from £35 for a 12 week course.

What is it?

Oral antibiotics are used by doctors to treat acne and rosacea. The antibiotics we prescribe include doxycycline, erythromycin or lymecycline. In the online consultation, we will ask what you have used before, what has worked for you in the past and if you have any preferences.

Why it works

Antibiotic tablets are prescribed by dermatologists alongside topical treatment to improve results. Your prescriber may prescribe doxycycline, erythromycin or lymecycline. Antibiotic tablets target the bacteria that cause acne, reducing inflammation which leads to clearer skin.

How to take it

This will depend on which antibiotic tablet you are prescribed. Take as directed by your prescriber always read the patient information leaflet that accompanies your tablets.

Important information
