I've been dealing with PCOS for a while and had a bad reaction to steroids in the past, so I've been cautious about medication. My dermatologist recently prescribed MINOZ OD 100 for my severe acne, and I'm a bit worried. Is it really safe for me to start taking these pills?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
MINOZ OD 100 is a brand name for Minocycline, which is commonly used to treat acne. The usual dosage for Minocycline in the treatment of acne is 50-100 mg twice daily. It is important to follow your dermatologist's instructions regarding the dosage and duration of treatment. Before starting Minocycline, inform your dermatologist about your previous reaction to steroids to ensure there are no contraindications. Additionally, discuss any other medications you may be taking to avoid potential drug interactions. Regular follow-up with your dermatologist is recommended to monitor your response to the treatment and address any concerns.

I'm trying to figure out when it's best to use this cream and what the benefits are. I'm also wondering if it's okay to use it during the summer months. Could you give me some advice?
It would be helpful if you could provide the name of the cream you are referring to, so I can give you more specific information about its uses and benefits. Additionally, whether a cream can be used in summer depends on its ingredients and formulation. Some creams may be too heavy or occlusive for hot and humid weather, while others may be specifically designed for summer use.
