I was recently diagnosed with acne vulgaris and my doctor prescribed Doxycycline lactic acid bacillus 100 mg for two months. I'm concerned about whether it's safe to take this medication for that long. Is there anything I should watch out for or be aware of while taking it?

Doxycycline (100 mg) for 2 months is a standard treatment for acne vulgaris, and when combined with Lactic Acid Bacillus, it is generally considered safe, but monitor for potential side effects like gastrointestinal upset, photosensitivity, and antibiotic resistance.

I'm dealing with psoriasis, and over the last month, I've been feeling quite lazy, experiencing uneven breathing, some tingling in my feet, and there's pain on the right side of my stomach. My B12 levels are really low at just 97. I'm considering taking a B12 sublingual supplement to help and was looking into the Deva vegan B12 with folic acid and B6 sublingual tablets. Do you think that's a good option for me, especially since I have allergies to certain salts?

focus on correction of vit b12 and vit b6
